Abstract

This study investigated the utilization cases of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology inthe mining industry. The concept and characteristics of RFID technology were presented in this paper. For overseacases, four mining sites(i.e., the Dendrobium coal mine in Australia, Norwich park coal mine in Australia, Pasircoal mine in Indonesia and Los Bronces copper mine in Chile) were investigated where the RFID technologyis used to improve the efficiency of mining operations. In addition, this paper described the Daesung MDIlimestone mine (Jecheon) and the POSCO magnesium smelting plant (Gangneung) as domestic cases of the RFIDutilization.
