SIMS Project
SIMS is a 3 year Horizon 2020 funded project.
The SIMS project will develop, test and demonstrate intelligent mining technology and systems in
physical test sites located in operational mines (Boliden, LKAB, Agnico Eagle, K+S, KGHM), and in a virtual
test site located at Lulea University of Technology
Project Total Budget:16.3 Million Euros
Project start: May 2017
