Agenda

Autonomous Operations is the gold standard and incorporates current industry trends such as digital transformations, Digital twins and autonomous assets with predictive maintenance. This session will show you how to develop and implement a plan, how to engage operations, how to apply technologies and what the solution may look like.

How Autonomous Drones Are Transforming Mining Operations Around The World

Is Mining Transformation Strategy Being Derailed At The Edge?

Zoom Breakout Sessions:

Zoom Breakout Session A:
Understanding The Benefits Of A Digital Twin In A Mining Digital Transformation

Zoom Breakout Session B:
Sustainable Mine To Mill – Digital Solutions Enabling End-to-end Integrated Simulation And Operational Workflow

An end to end Mine to Mill (M2M) value chain focus approach has proven through multiple examples worldwide to drive substantial mill productivity benefits. Yet despite the economic uplift realised through this holistic mining to processing approach, M2M projects typically involve intense efforts over a period of months and fail to become permanently embedded in everyday workflow. Advances in digital capability are changing this, creating the enabling technologies to efficiently undertake simulation and optimisation from the block model all the way through to the end of the processing circuit, and also to tailor the application of explosives energy to varying orebody properties to produce optimum fragmentation in a sustainable operational workflow.

Zoom Breakout Session C:
Decarbonising Mining Through Digital Mining Infrastructure

Making Digital A Reality: What It Actually Takes To Build A Digitally Connected Mine

There’s a lot of theory around what digitalisation should look like, but what are the steps to get there? Join ABB for a hands on presentation, where we will discuss our strategy and our progress to building one of the most digitally connected mines, here in Australia.

Orebody Knowledge To blasting Outcomes In Tomorrow’s Mine, Today

Roy Hill and Orica have been working in a close strategic partnership since 2017 aimed at delivering Roy Hill’s Smart Future Pit-Port vision of creating Tomorrow’s mine, today. This program leverages new technology and the application of innovative thinking to maximise efficiency to meet the needs of the future. To date, Roy Hill and Orica’s partnership has largely focussed on Smart Orebody, Smart Assets and Integrated and Intelligent systems. In particular the application of data science and machine learning to data from the geological model, autonomous drills, blasts, and the fleet management system to deliver Smart blasting. The companies have jointly collaborated to create and operationalise the technologies that enable the data-led application of explosives energy matched to enhanced orebody knowledge, targeting consistent and predictable blast outcomes that deliver sustainable profit improvement.

Regulating Autonomous Equipment In WA – The Journey To So Far

Moonshot Thinking: Making Space Mining A Reality

Digital Ore Tracking And Real World Applications

Join ABB as they run through a live demo of its digital mine planning system. In this session, ABB will simulate a real-life scenario of responding and adapting to unforeseen situations on the fly. As miners, we all know that things don’t always go as planned. How will the digitalisation of mining systems improve the way we respond to such unplanned events, and improve overall productivity?

Digital transformation, IIoT, Industry 4.0, Big Data, analytics, wireless sensors, digital twin, mobility, KPI, dashboard, wireless sensors and augmented reality, what do they all mean and what can they do for you? Join this virtual tour of Emerson Solutions Center in Singapore and experience how these digital technologies will transform the way you run and maintain your mine site(s).

Workshop B:

Accelerating The Development Of Autonomous Solutions Through Industry Collaborations

Like many sectors, the mining industry is being reimagined with robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet-of-Things transforming the mining value chain. The imperative for collaboration across the METS ecosystem to develop future technologies and solutions is more pronounced than ever. This panel will showcase how the world’s largest provider of explosives technology brought key industry stakeholders and partners together to develop a specific needs-driven solution that will improve both safety and productivity for mining operations.

Workshop C:

Digital Twins Within The Resources Sector: A Spatial Perspective

With industry starting on or already a way down a digital twin path, the presentation explores the use of spatial data as a key component to a digital twin.

Examining the form of which a digital using spatial datasets can form, concepts such as Level of Detail and spatial datasets are explained and applied to real word examples.

It is also described that even the basic of digital twins can be used to optimise plant performance, either through personnel time savings or using connectivity with smart sensors.
