Industry 4.0 is a set of innovative technologies theoretically and practically applicable in industrial processes. The RFID system, a radio frequency identification technology, has become one of such innovations. The absence of ore tracking in the mining industry entails an increase in dilution and complicates mineral blending logistics. Currently, mining companies are starting to implement Industry 4.0 projects to optimize production but percentage of such companies in the industry is yet small. There are very few scientific works related to the application of ore tagging, and there is little data on the use of this technology in the mining, so the implementation of RFID tagging system in the mining industry is an urgent task to study. The research methods were the review of scientific literature and the analysis of digital products for graphical representation of blending stockpile optimization. As a result of the study, the possibility of practical application of RFID technology was considered, and the scheme of ore tagging in stockpiles was justified. The work provides useful information for implementing RFID technology in the mining industry. Open pit mining uses surveying to track and analyze stockpiling processes but this methodology is directly dependent on human factors and offers insufficient information about ore whenever. These production problems can be fixed by implementing an RFID tagging system, which indicates the practical significance of the study.
