• Workshop A: Experience How A Digital Mine Will Work For You
• Workshop B: Accelerating The Development Of Autonomous Solutions Through Industry Collaborations
• Workshop C: Digital Twins Within The Resources Sector: A Spatial Perspective

WORKSHOP A: EXPERIENCE HOW A DIGITAL MINE WILL WORK FOR YOU

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.
