The mining industry is undergoing a rapid transformation toward digitalization and automation. Frequent hardware failures, idle equipment, and inefficient dispatching in harsh mining environments can cost operations millions annually in lost productivity and fuel waste. As open-pit mines race to automate, the lack of rugged, reliable computing platforms remains a major roadblock - especially in remote regions where extreme temperatures, dust, and vibration are constant threats.

With edge workloads becoming more data-intensive and time-sensitive, edge computing systems must process larger datasets at faster speeds, often in harsh industrial environment.
