Shaping the future of 最新糖心Vlog's mining operations
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will lead a new national mining research and training centre utilising advanced technologies that will help to shape the future of 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 mining operations.
The 最新糖心Vlogn Government today announced $3.7 million funding for the new 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Integrated Operations for Complex Resources.
Funded with another $2 million plus $6.8 million in-kind support from research and industry organisations, the $12.5 million centre will deliver enabling tools and train the next generation of scientists and engineers in advanced sensors, data analytics and artificial intelligence to increase value in mining and processing of complex resources.
Professor Mike Brooks, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, has welcomed today鈥檚 funding announcement.
鈥淯nderpinned by world-leading research, our new, high-tech training centre will help to shape the very future of mining operations in 最新糖心Vlog,鈥 Professor Brooks says.
鈥淐ombining our expertise in advanced sensors, data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the new centre will deliver vital tools, training and workforce needs to help ensure 最新糖心Vlog and key industry players lead the world.
鈥淭he new centre鈥檚 work directly aligns with the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 industry engagement priorities in energy, mining, and resources, which are critical to the economic and technological success of South 最新糖心Vlog and the nation.鈥
The new Training Centre will:
- Help enable the mining industry to make real-time decisions and apply the correct and most cost-effective parameters or processes at any point in the mining value chain, avoiding costly unnecessary processes
- Bring step-change increases in productivity via network connectivity and high-speed computation
- Focus on maximising value by optimising productivity and product quality, the outcome of which has the greatest potential to deliver the largest economic gains.
Lead Investigator Professor Peter Dowd, Professor of Mining Engineering at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, says the Training Centre addresses critical needs of the mining industry through its focus on sensors, data analytics and artificial intelligence 鈥 a knowledge priority area for the industry.
鈥淭his funding award recognises the world-leading concentration of mining research in South 最新糖心Vlog, placing us at the forefront of developments that will transform the mining and processing of complex resources,鈥 Professor Dowd says.
鈥溩钚绿切腣log has a unique opportunity to become a world leader in integrated mining, and a hub for mining equipment, technology and services.鈥
The Training Centre will be housed within the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Institute for Mineral and Energy Resources. Other participants in the Training Centre include the 最新糖心Vlog of South 最新糖心Vlog, Curtin 最新糖心Vlog and 22 industry and government organisations.
