Euromines’ newest book, Before it’s yours we mine it: Industry 4.0, was officially presented at the EUMICON conference that took place 26-27 September in Vienna. With an emphasis on the role of Industry 4.0 in the mining world, this book explores the role of raw materials in our daily lives as well as how mining as an industry has shaped European history and present society.

Virtually every single thing society consumes ultimately derives from a mine somewhere on earth. Without these raw materials, European citizens would be forced into lives that resemble our ancient ancestors more than the modern world. And not only do metals and minerals permeate our daily lives, they provide the material base for many other European business and industrial sectors, including both basic service and high-tech sectors.

Our first book, Before it’s yours, we mine it, informed readers about raw materials and the mining sector, highlighting their critical roles in our daily lives. Now, Before it’s yours we mine it: Industry 4.0 delves deeper into these roles, exploring the role of raw materials in our daily lives as well as how mining has shaped European history and present society, with a special emphasis on how Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the mining world.
