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.

10 jun 2024Energía Eléctrica y RenovablesIn today’s relentless pursuit of optimized production, industries have a wealth of data readily at hand as well as access to advanced analytical tools. However, these technological advances, while promising, can also include complexities that challenge operations across various industries. A recent survey conducted by GatePoint Research revealed that nearly 90% of executives in process industries are increasingly concerned about how complicated their operations are becoming. This is where control loop performance monitoring (CLPM) solutions come in. They offer valuable advantages and help overcome these challenges.Enhancing process optimization with control loop performance monitoring-

07 nov 2023Minería y metalurgiaWhen mining for metals such as copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and gold, it is often necessary to mine, process and store materials that could be at risk of exhibiting a phenomenon called “self-heating” or “spontaneous heating.” Self-heating materials present unique and serious risks to a mining operation; however, such risks can be appropriately mitigated if the self-heating behaviour of a material is properly understood by conducting characterization, or MASH, testing. BBA has an experienced team and a dedicated material testing laboratory ready to tackle any self-heating concern or engineering problem.Sulphide self-heating behaviours, risks, mitigation and prevention

31 may 2023"When I was young, I was really curious, and I wanted to understand everything. The first time I learned about natural resources was when I was watching Snow White. I thought it was fascinating that we could get diamonds out of the earth, and I wanted to learn more. That’s how I found out about engineering.Ingenious women – Lyne Ricard
