Orica: Breakthrough Mining Technologies Explained
The discussion centers around Orica's innovative products, the Integrated Extraction Simulator (IES) and Design for Outcome (DfO), showcasing the company's commitment to integrating advanced technology into mining operations. Angelo and Greg share their extensive backgrounds in the mining sector, highlighting their roles in advancing Orica's digital solutions to optimize the entire mining value chain, from exploration to processing.
Greg explains that the IES is a cloud-based platform designed for modeling and simulating mineral processing, which helps mining operations understand the impact of changes in plant feed on overall performance. This tool enables better decision-making by simulating various scenarios, from handling unexpected breakdowns to optimizing production blends. Angelo discusses DfO, which uses machine learning to classify rock into blastability domains, thus allowing for tailored drill and blast designs that match energy to rock hardness. This results in more efficient use of explosives, reduced costs, and improved consistency in blasting outcomes. Both technologies reflect Orica's vision of integrating software solutions to enhance productivity and sustainability in mining operations.
The conversation also delves into the practical application of these technologies, with both Angelo and Greg sharing stories of their experiences working with customers around the world. They emphasize the importance of collaboration and understanding client needs to successfully implement these advanced solutions. Looking ahead, they foresee continued advancements in data integration, workflow automation, and cross-industry collaborations, which will drive further efficiencies and innovations in mining operations over the next five years.
