The flexible and modular mining cubes provide cutting-edge automation and require little maintenance. In addition to highly efficient ventilation units, an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system is in the project phase. ORC systems use the waste heat of industrial processes (through a downstream steam power process) to generate electricity and thus use the waste heat generated by the mining process to recover energy. SAM Cubes are located at a high altitude and a therefore lowered boiling point of water, which facilitates this process.
The cubes are self-contained and operate autonomously. For extensive maintenance and monitoring, each cube communicates with the central management platform that monitors the cubes and assigns to each cube the optimal parameter to maximize mining for maximum profit
