Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and digital integration have driven step changes across various industries. The minerals and energy resources industries are rapidly adopting these technologies as they become more digitally connected. The Internet of Things (IoT) is about the digital integration of the physical workplace with sensors, processing capabilities, software, and other technologies that connect and exchange data.
These technologies are critical for safe, efficient, and automated operations in isolated environments common to minerals and energy resources engineering. Our machine learning works focuses on the integration of AI technologies to industry workflows and discovering opportunities to surpass current physical limits.
Applications include digital core imaging and characterisation, automated seismic and core interpretation, subsurface characterisation, automation, computer vision of materials, data analytics, site monitoring & assessment, inertial measurement units, global navigation satellite systems, wireless communication technologies, and LIDAR 3D laser scanning in underground environments.
