In today's competitive world, technology plays an important role. One of the technologies that can play a very important role in the development of mines is the use of automation in open pit mines. Automation and robotics in mines are among the topics discussed in the last two decades. Every day, the number of researchers and experts who believe that the use of automation and robotics in mines is inevitable for reasons of safety, speed in operations, access to high production and reduction of operation costs. The future of mines, regardless of the type and size, for technical and economic reasons, must somehow be equipped with an intelligent mining system, and automation and robotics are a bridge to reach this goal, not an obstacle for miners. It is a debt that the entry of technology into any industrial and mining field will require the creation and improvement of a set of requirements for this technology. Before the introduction of automation, mines must have a set of requirements at the required level of technology. The first step in the implementation of automation in open pit mines is to identify, determine and eva‎luate all these requirements and match the required conditions with the existing conditions. Determining this sensitive point of how much automation a mine has will help to draw a road map for the implementation of automation in open pit mines. In this regard, all the indicators and parameters affecting the automation capability of open pit mines have been identified and determined and the importance of each has been eva‎luated through the Delphi fuzzy hierarchical analysis method, and during the examination of the existing conditions in the mines of the Sangan iron ore complex, a method in It is presented to eva‎luate the automation capability in open pit mines. In this method, according to the eva‎luations, the automation capability of the Sangan iron ore mining complex was eva‎luated at 45% and based on the existing conditions in the Sangan iron ore mining complex, a road map was presented for the implementation of automation in this complex. This road map is planned according to two scenarios, the first scenario is based on the existing sanctions conditions and the second scenario is planned based on the fact that there will be no sanctions conditions.
