Cloud machine learning teaches an old PLC new tricks cutting dense medium cyclone surging and saving millions in hidden coal revenue

A cloud-hosted machine learning model, linked securely to a plant control system, has helped eliminate costly surging in dense medium cyclones - and in one case, safeguarded millions in weekly coal revenue.

From drill core to quantum leaps CSIRO’s sensors are turning rock whispers into real-time revelations that miners can actually use

Dr Sandra Occhipinti, research director in minerals at Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, is leading a team of more than 100 scientists focused on one of the most complex challenges in modern exploration: how to accelerate mineral discovery in covered terrains while simultaneously improving geometallurgical insight across the mining value chain.
