The team at PETRA Data Science is delighted to announce that their engineered data science FORESTALL® downtime prediction algorithms have been named as a finalist in the Austmine 2017 Awards METS Innovation category.
“We believe it is our transdisciplinary approach to data science, that has enabled us to develop a solution that responds to the industry’s need for a platform agnostic approach to real-time downtime prediction”, said Dr Penny Stewart, Managing Director of PETRA Data Science.
Winners will be announced at Austmine’s biennial awards night on Tuesday 23rd May as part of the Austmine 2017: Mining’s Innovation Imperative conference in Perth.

Austmine is passionate about innovation and we are proud of the volume of Australian METS who export their innovative products and services to every mining nation in the world. I am looking forward to celebrating with all of our finalists and winners over in Perth later this month”, Christine said.
