Nokia Cognitive Digital Mine

Nokia Cognitive Digital Mine (CDM), ​an AI-driven industrial platform that unifies IoT data, edge analytics, and network intelligence to monitor, diagnose, and optimize mining operations in real time. At its core is the CDM Black Box — a rugged, AI-powered edge device that connects machines, sensors, and networks across the mine. It senses, thinks, and acts locally, enabling real-time decisions even in remote or disconnected areas. Other devices from different vendors can be supported upon requests.

The problem being solved:
Mines operate in harsh, dynamic environments where connectivity gaps, unplanned equipment downtime, and limited situational awareness lead to safety risks and lost productivity. CDM brings together edge AI, digital twins, and multi-access connectivity (5G, Wi-Fi, satellite) to deliver predictive insights, autonomous diagnostics, and network resilience — directly at the mine site. AI-centric use cases examples : Autonomous network monitoring and self-healing connectivity, dynamic connectivity heat maps, hotspot and cold spot analysis, prediction of network SLA violations, automated troubleshooting of connectivity issues, continuous drive tests, as well as, Driver fatigue detection and real-time safety alerts, Predictive maintenance for trucks, drills, Fleet and logistics optimization across pit, plant, rail, and port, All the data are fed to the CDM-bot platform that provides automated root-cause procedures among other features to speed up decision making tasks.
