DIG-CON Workshop in Katowice: Insights, Progress, and a Descent into the GUIDO Coalmine

At the end of Novem­ber, a DIG-CON work­shop (effi­cient con­struc­tion using dig­i­tal tech­nolo­gies in the con­struc­tion and fin­ish­ing trade) was held at the Cham­ber of Crafts and Small and Medi­um-sized Enter­pris­es in Katow­ice. After inten­sive dis­cus­sions about the progress of the project, feed­back on con­tent and the next steps, we went 320 metres under­ground – into the GUIDO coal mine in Zabrze. There, we gained excit­ing insights into mech­a­ni­sa­tion and tech­no­log­i­cal devel­op­ments in min­ing and were able to see mod­ern machines such as cut­ting drums and road­head­ers in action. The event con­clud­ed with a mini-work­shop on ‘Readi­ness for Tech­no­log­i­cal Change’ and a wrap-up of the event.
