Abstract

Developments in technology have significantly altered the quality and quantity of data that mining companies in Tanzania can access. These developments, in turn, support the utilization of automation in various activities carried out by mining companies. This study explores the application of various general technology innovations applied in the mining industry in Tanzania. Even though in most cases, the application of these technologies is influenced by the potential to increase the companies’ production efficiency and competitiveness, they also facilitate the reduction of pollution and other impacts of mining activities on the surrounding environment. Moreover, technological innovations can go further to support other economic sectors that are linked to the mining industry in Tanzania. Areas addressed in this study include computerization, remote control, remote sensing, automation, and geographic information system (GIS), concerning economic developments and environmental and safety benefits. Moreover, the study also discusses productivity and safety gains from technology and highlights on highlights on what the government and community should keep in mind while adopting these technologies. to the government and community.
