The mining industry is one of the most technologically demanding sectors that requires continuous modernization and optimization of production processes. One of the most important stages in mineral processing is flotation, which plays a key role in separating valuable minerals from ore. Traditional flotation processes often face challenges related to efficiency, stability, and resource consumption. In recent years, the integration of
Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has opened new opportunities for improving automation and control in mining operations. This article examines the role of IoT technologies in the automation of flotation processes in the mining industry. It highlights the advantages of real-time monitoring, intelligent data analysis, and remote control systems for increasing productivity and reducing operational costs. The study also
analyzes how IoT-based systems contribute to improving process stability, reducing human error, and enhancing environmental sustainability. The findings demonstrate that the application of IoT technologies significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of flotation processes.
