Digital Twin Training
Geminum provides training to corporate teams in designing, delivering and supporting digital twins across the asset lifecycle.
The Journey to Autonomy - Part 1
Read time: ~3mins
The journey to industrial autonomy goes beyond automating a haul truck or changing a process control system from PID to MPC to AI. Autonomous operations are idealised for many reasons…
Ultimately, the time it takes to achieve autonomy will be driven by the speed at which the organisation can let go of the existing and replace it with the new.
Enhancing the Common Operating Picture with Digital Twins
Read time: ~30mins
COPs are far more than an emergency response tool. Situation Awareness enhances decision making, and humans rely more on goals than tasks to gain and regain SA. In modern organisations, our people mostly work collaboratively on goals and they spend most of their time focusing on achieving goals. A small section of our workforce focuses on situations, and all humans need to situate and adapt to changing situations as they arise. Moving from mode to mode, and multi-mode management, are the norm now. COPs should enable individual and collaborative goal directed and situation driven SA.
Digital twins and Theory of Constraints (TOC) in Mining
Read time: ~5mins
TOC is a philosophy that provides methodologies and ways of thinking to help miners focus on production constraints, and to exploit those constraints to maximise throughput. With a digital twin that utilises an always-on constraints model, users can identify and measure all of the constraints appearing and moving across value chains, and managers can prioritise changes to address those constraints, while continuously measuring and improving those changes.
Digital twins: Global outcomes from local data
Read time: ~3mins
We delve into the transformative potential of Digital Twins and how they bridge the gap between physical assets and digital realities. Our blog specifically examines Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) and demonstrates how a blend of local knowledge and global expertise can enhance operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Digital Twin Use Case: Visualisation Twin
Read time: ~7mins
The Visualisation Twin is a type of spatial digital twin that presents contextual, near real time, cross functional data to users. Visualisation Twins are often seen as “the” digital twin of a site, and are frequently associated with high fideilty spatial data such as 3D models, LIDAR, and photogrammetry. In this short summary, we present some of the key elements of a Visualisation Twin and provide advice on creating a valuable and viable Visualisation Twin in your organisation.
Digital Twins: The ultimate solution for enhancing Situation Awareness
Read time: ~5mins
Enhancing situation awareness is crucial for effective decision-making. Digital twins, combined with predictive AI, offer a powerful solution to navigate these volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments. They provide real-time, high-context visual information, reducing cognitive overload and enabling managers to better comprehend and project future scenarios, ultimately leading to safer and more efficient operations.
Embracing predictive technologies with digital twins
Read time: ~5mins
The world of digital technology is continuously evolving, and businesses across various sectors need to adapt in order to remain competitive. In this blog, we discuss the transformative power of digital twins and their ability to enable predictive technology adoption.
Interview with Alex Bertram - Digital Twins & AI in Mining: Demonstrating by doing
Watch time: ~29mins
The phrase "practical application" doesn't seem to be used often when discussing topics like Digital Twins and AI - especially when it comes to the mining industry. So, for this reason, practical and valuable applications of new mining technology rely heavily on pioneers to run ahead and lead the way for the rest of us by "Demonstrating by Doing”
Interview with Kabir Singh - Digital Twins & AI: What can mining expect in 2023?
Watch time: ~29mins
In just the first couple of months of 2023, there has been an explosion of AI and Industry 5.0 products in the market. We are seeing applications for almost all use case - but where do they sit within the unique mining industry?
Interview with Peter Corke - AI & Robotics in Mining: What can mining expect in 2023?
Watch time: ~30mins
As of March 2023, everywhere you look, everyone seems to be talking about AI. The topics of conversation seem to be either incredibly pessimistic, or overly optimistic. For this reason, we wanted to take a moment and ask Peter the question - what should we actually be expecting for 2023 and beyond?
Autonomy: the Journey from Experience to Prescription
Read time: ~3mins
The adoption of autonomous equipment is only one part of the equation. With ever-increasing economic, environmental and social pressures, autonomy in mining has quickly moved from a nice-to-have to a necessity for scaling and transformation.
