MINE.IO Success at the International SysTol2025 Conference: The Future of Mining Process Automation
We are proud to announce the significant participation of the MINE.IO project at the 6th International Conference on Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems (SysTol2025), which took place from October 6–8, 2025, in Ayia Napa, Cyprus.
The MINE.IO project was presented by our partner, Angela-Maria Despotopoulou from the Frontier Innovation Centre, who introduced the key achievements and innovative solutions being developed within our Holistic Digital Mine 4.0 Ecosystem during the conference.
Presenting the Revolutionary Component: The Workflow Automation Engine
During SysTol2025, Angela-Maria Despotopoulou, on behalf of the Frontier Innovation Centre team (the leader of Task 5.1), presented the specifics of the Workflow Automation Engine (WAE).
The Workflow Automation Engine is more than just an automation tool—it is a cornerstone that enables the digital transformation of mining processes, ensuring:
- Operational Transparency: Automation and digitalization of business processes provide real-time visibility into operations.
- Continuous Process Refinement: Feedback loops and advanced data analytics allow for the identification and removal of bottlenecks.
- Governance: Non-trusting business partners each retain ownership and control of their respective data.
- Reduced Compliance Costs: Streamlined regulatory tasks, reduced manual effort, and administrative overhead.
Crucially, the WAE is implemented using exclusively open-source technologies and is based on established industrial standards such as BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) and MIMOSA OSA-CBM (predictive maintenance). This approach guarantees interoperability, scalability, and long-term support for the innovations implemented within MINE.IO.
You can read more about the WAE module in the article “Mining Without Blind Spots: How a Smarter Workflow Engine Is Redefining the Industry“
The WAE module was developed in collaboration with Mine.io project partners such as FRONT, GFT, and TEC. We would like to thank you 👏 for your contribution and effort in working on innovative solutions for the Holistic Digital Mine 4.0 Ecosystem.
SysTol2025: A Platform for Resilient Systems
The SysTol (Control and Fault-Tolerant Systems) conference is recognized as one of the most important events for engineers and scientists working on systems that must operate reliably even in the face of faults and disruptions. The conference themes, including Fault Detection and Isolation, Fault-Tolerant Control, Cyber-Physical Security, and Resilience, are closely aligned with the MINE.IO project’s goals within the mining industry, which operates in extreme and unpredictable conditions.
Our participation in SysTol2025 allowed us not only to disseminate our work results but also to exchange knowledge with leading experts, thus strengthening MINE.IO’s position as a project shaping the future of Mining 4.0.
The conference was organized by the SysTol Association and hosted by the KIOS Center of Excellence at the University of Cyprus.
We encourage you to review the full presentation on the Workflow Automation Engine and the achievements of MINE.IO (Link to Presentation/Repository).
