MINING SOFTWARE economic benefits by ensuring data transparency across the entire mine value chain , according to Lapworth .
Rodrigo Calle , Vice President of Sustainability Solutions , said this same focus is given to its sustainability-focused portfolio .
“ Datamine has been at the forefront of this movement for several years , leading the way by incorporating a broad spectrum of solutions into our portfolio ,” he said . “ These encompass operational safety , environmental management , occupational health and ESG reporting .
“ Our commitment to sustainability underscores our dedication to not only meeting but exceeding the evolving demands of the mining industry , reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in its sustainable development .”
Revolutionising data processing
Since its inception in 2017 , Eclipse Mining Technologies has been dedicated to developing a comprehensive solution that addresses the most pressing data-related hurdles . This remit led to the development of the SourceOne ® Enterprise Knowledge Performance System , built for mining companies to leverage all their data and transform it into information that can aid all levels of decision makers in all parts of the mining value chain .
Its latest focus is on the “ transformative process ” required for such data to be used effectively by AI tools and for knowledge generation , with a schema included in the latest release designed specifically to tackle this .
The company told IM that SourceOne is differentiated from the rest of the solutions on the market in its ability to work at “ every data level ”, providing context to this data through the identification of its interrelationships and characteristics . This helps transform data into actionable information and knowledge used in all domains of the mining industry .
“ Specific applications like general mining packages , fleet management systems , or asset management systems can coexist with SourceOne , but only at the data level through their specific databases ,” the company explained .
In its current form , mining companies are unlikely to obtain the full value of AI without the
Eclipse says Knowledge Graphs are able to support specific AI applications , such as using machine learning in predictive maintenance and modelling
inputted data going through a cleaning process in advance – something that SourceOne EKPS provides .
“ Based on a domain ontology that describes how data coexists , concepts , categories , relationships and the rules governing these relationships , SourceOne provides a structured framework to model information , enabling machines to understand and interpret data ,” Eclipse said .
This could eventually enable the automated process improvement loop spoken about by many companies in this article , helping facilitate
