PI System as the foundation of Data Science platform for optimising mining processes
How we developed the platform for deployment of machine learning at Newcrest and the role of PI Systems within that architecture.Our presentation illustrates our successful project implement AI and IoT technologies at Australia’s largest underground, block cave mine to monitor and manage crushed ore bin levels. The soft sensor delivered a return in investment within the first three months of operation.
- The role of PI System in Newcrest IoT Edge platform architecture, as well as Enterprise Data Lake
- Using PI System data for near-real time data science models whose outputs are used in control strategy (Coarse Ore Bin Softsensor use case study )
- Using PI AF to monitor and report on bsuiness benefits of a runtime model - (Coarse Ore Bin Softsensor use case study)
