We are thrilled to have you in this workshop and hope that you will join the conference in Brisbane, on September 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Background and Scope of the Conference<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Automation in the mining, minerals, and metal processing enhances the efficiency of the processes by optimising the use of resources, reducing waste, and minimising human errors. Automated systems increase productivity and utilisation of assets. They also improve safety by reducing the need for human presence in hazardous environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 7th IFAC Workshop on Mining, Mineral and Metal Processing (IFAC MMM) aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and experts from various fields to exchange knowledge, present their research findings, and discuss advancements related to the automation, control, and optimization of mining, minerals, and metal processing industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Topics of interest include but are not limited to<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Automation and Control in Mining<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mineral Processing and Beneficiation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metallurgical Processes and Smelting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Process Optimization and Modelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sensor Technologies and Instrumentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration of Technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety and Environmental Concerns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Case Studies and Industrial Applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Education in Process Control and Automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Artificial Intelligence in Mining, Minerals and Metal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Main IFAC sponsoring Technical Committees <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>TC 6.2.
