Dalur, a uranium mining company within Rosatom’s group, is launching a major digital transformation project in partnership with Rostelecom. The plans include electronic waybills, robotic production lines, predictive analytics, and augmented reality glasses for maintenance crews. Some of the solutions are already in operation, while others are being prepared for deployment.
The strategic partnership agreement was signed as part of Rosatom’s Mining Division. The main objectives are to increase productivity, strengthen industrial safety, and reduce the environmental footprint of operations.
The first priority for the company’s site in Kurgan Region is to modernize logistics. Dalur plans to switch to digital transport documentation and introduce intelligent safety monitoring for shipments. This will eliminate paperwork and give dispatchers comprehensive control over every trip.
At the same time, production lines will be increasingly automated using robotic systems. Algorithms will be introduced into the mining process to forecast raw-material inventories and recommend optimal operating conditions.
Another key area is maintenance. Repair specialists will be equipped with augmented reality glasses, allowing digital instructions and equipment diagrams to be overlaid onto real machinery. The technology is designed to speed up diagnostics and reduce downtime.
The partners also plan to expand the ATOM-RTK Ecosystem project. Since last year, the system has automatically monitored environmental conditions and substance concentrations at the site. Expanding the system will bring additional areas under continuous monitoring and enable uninterrupted environmental surveillance.
A traditionally closed and conservative sector, uranium mining is becoming a testbed for advanced digital technologies. Dalur is demonstrating that even the extraction of radioactive raw materials can benefit from smart logistics, robotics, and augmented reality.
