Sentient Computing recently showcased the potential of immersive visualisation through Digital Twin technology in a presentation at the WA Mining Conference & Exhibition in October. These dynamic visualisations unlock a new level of insight and control by connecting users directly to their operational data.
At Sentient, we strongly support system integration to streamline processes, minimise manual intervention, reduce human error, and drive sustainable operational improvements.
Case Study: Digital Twin tackling safety and efficiency challenges
We recently worked with a major Australian mining company to successfully implement Sentient’s Digital Twin technology across multiple large-scale sites in an attempt to combat outdated documentation that left the business with safety vulnerabilities. Implementing a digital twin solution resulted in:
- A$3 Million Savings: Predictive maintenance and streamlined procedures significantly reduced operational costs and the time taken to obtain the right information by the right people at the right time.
- Enhanced Worker Safety: Potential risks were identified and mitigated using real-time insights.
- Optimised Production: Processes were fine-tuned, to maximise output and scalability.
Why Mining Companies are Embracing Digital Twins
Digital twins offer a wide range of advantages:
- Enhanced operational visibility: Allowing for real-time insights into every aspect of your operation, from equipment performance to material flow.
- Data-driven decision-making: This helps you to better make data-driven decisions which allow you to optimise efficiency and also reduce costs.
- Increased safety: Most likely the most important benefit. Digital twins allow you to identify potential hazards and implement preventive measures to safeguard workers.
- Accelerated innovation: Test new technologies and processes in a virtual environment before deploying them in the field.
The Future of Mining is Immersive
The mining sector is in the throes of evolution, thanks to Digital Twins and the powerful visualisations that compel stakeholders to act. By investing in this technology, mining companies consistently report boosted productivity, sustainable growth, and most importantly, sustainable growth.
