Mining Magic: From First Principles to AI Enhancing the Engineering Experience
摘要
MiningMining is at a crossroads, facing challenges like lower ore gradesGrade, knowledge loss, net-zero goals, and the energy transitionEnergy transition. Engineers are the heroes in this story, using everything from keen hearing to detect bearing failures, to first-principles engineeringEngineering for calculating dilution factors, to statistical analysisAnalysis for process controlProcess control, and now, AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance human capabilities and speed up data analysisAnalysis. This presentation will cover the journey from traditional techniques to cutting-edge AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, highlighting how industry leaders are overcoming different operational challenges. The potential of AIArtificial Intelligence (AI) in miningMining is exciting, and real-world examples of how it is transforming the lives of plant professionals will be discussed here.
