Last year PETRA recently ran a series of webinars on mine value chain optimisation using digital twin models.
The webinars focused on digital twin models for geometallurgy, materials handling performance and drill & blast optimisation. Industry experts and academics joined CEO Dr Penny Stewart for a panel discussion about data quality and implementation of digital twin models.
Dr Alan Alan Tordoir, Drill & Blast lead at AngloAmerican and Dr Sarma Kanchibotla, Director at Seshat Consulting joined PETRA CEO, Dr Penny Stewart from PETRA.
Before the panel discussion Dr Penny Stewart presented a short demonstration and case study on MAXTAGeomet and MAXTADrill&Blast. MAXTA digital twin models use data from the entire value chain to learn how geology affects downstream processes, creating a new paradigm for prediction, simulation and optimisation of blasting, loading, crushing, grinding and recovery.
