Why data quality is the real AI challenge in the mining industry
Perspectivas
-
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in the mining industry. Predictive maintenance for critical equipment, energy optimization, improved metallurgical recovery, asset monitoring and process anomaly detection are just a few of the many applications with significant potential benefits.However, when an AI project fails to deliver the expected results, the problem rarely lies with the algorithms themselves.In our experience, the main obstacles are usually related to data quality, availability and structure. Even the most sophisticated models cannot produce reliable recommendations if the data they rely on is incomplete, inconsistent or difficult to use.Before we talk about artificial intelligence, we first need to talk about data.

09 mar 2017Energía Eléctrica y RenovablesAlthough new hydroelectric generating stations are still being built all around the world, and a number of projects for future generating stations are being studied, the vast majority of stations now in operation were built over 20 years ago, and some even date back more than 50 years. There are numerous factors that make refurbishing these generating stations inevitable, the most obvious being equipment wear, fouling of pipes and greater maintenance requirements.The challenge of refurbishing hydroelectric generating stations

Obstacles include limited access, measurement accuracy dependent on the instrument used, hard-to-reach areas, and the risk of overlooking certain measurements. As a result, a detailed survey can be a long and costly endeavour-not to mention that current plans are not always available!Everything you need to know about 3D laser scanning
