Expert Talk: An Inside Perspective on the Mining-tech Industry

Embedded algorithms supported by AI techniques then suggest decision options based on simulated scenarios that account for not only the primary process but also for the network of processes the equipment interacts with or influences. The idea is to constantly have a “finger on the pulse” of the operation to monitor, assess root causes, simulate possible scenarios, and propose corrective measures to keep the operation performing as best as possible under environmental (e.g., unexpected geology variations) and contextual variables (e.g., energy cost).
