Mining 4.0 has risen from the need of the extractive industry to answer the technical challenges that rapidly shift at the mining sites. Currently, many models can be developed to address this issue however, the way in which the digitalisation of information occurs is not entirely clear. Therefore, this scoping review aims to address the main digitalisation tools and processes used in the open-pit mining industry. As a secondary outcome, it intends to provide a better understanding of this new era and the emergence of Mining 4.0. A scoping review protocol with the guidelines set to conduct the review has already been published. The Preferred Reporting of Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were used conduct the research: the keywords “digitalisation”/“digitalization”) and “modelling”/“modeling”), which were combined with “open pit” and “open cast” and applied in the most appropriate databases. Initially, 6775 records were identified; after applying exclusion criteria such as year, document type, source type, language, and after a first screen throughout each study title, 65 papers were considered eligible. The records were full-text screened in order to retrieve the needed information, where only 23 records remained. After, the snowballing technique was applied, and 5 more papers were added to the study. It was identified different techniques and ways of applying them; the chosen processes and tools were chosen according to the purpose of each study. Most of the studies combined photogrammetric techniques (using unmanned aerial vehicles) with topographic information. Terrestrial laser scanning techniques were also reported. Regarding the software, AgiSoft PhotoScan was chosen as the primary digitalisation tool in most studies. Hopefully, this scoping review will help authors to understand what possibilities they have in terms of software and tools, according to the issue they are trying to solve.

采矿业已经从采矿业的需求中崛起，以应对采矿现场迅速变化的技术挑战。当前，可以开发许多模型来解决此问题，但是，信息数字化发生的方式尚不完全清楚。因此，本范围界定审查旨在解决露天采矿行业中使用的主要数字化工具和流程。作为次要结果，它旨在更好地了解这个新时代和Mining 4.0的出现。已发布了范围界定的审查协议，其中设置了进行审查的指南。使用系统评价和荟萃分析的首选项目报告进行了研究：关键字“数字化” /“数字化”）和“建模” /“建模”），它们与“露天矿”和“露天矿”相结合，并应用于最合适的数据库中。最初，确定了6775条记录。在应用了排除标准（例如年份，文档类型，来源类型，语言）之后，并且在每个研究标题中进行了第一次筛选之后，有65篇论文被认为是合格的。对记录进行了全文筛选，以检索所需的信息，仅剩余23条记录。之后，应用滚雪球技术，并向研究中添加了5篇论文。确定了不同的技术和应用方法；选择的过程和工具是根据每次研究的目的选择的。大多数研究将摄影测量技术（使用无人飞行器）与地形信息相结合。还报道了地面激光扫描技术。关于软件，在大多数研究中，AgiSoft PhotoScan被选为主要的数字化工具。希望此范围界定审查将帮助作者根据他们要解决的问题了解他们在软件和工具方面的可能性。
