Overview

Stone Three Digital uses the newest deep learning technology to provide Smart Sensors for measuring real-time particle size on trucks and conveyor belts, as well as real-time flotation characteristics (froth and pulp properties such as bubble size and bubble speed). Further to Smart Sensor technology, the Stone Three Digital remote monitoring and diagnostic (RM&D) service aims to deliver actionable advisories to clients to improve their process productivity, based on data mining activities performed on process historian data and augmented by process expert interpretation.

The objective is to provide the client with quantifiable benefits by empowering their personnel and operations through RM&D services and technologies The RM&D service is provided by Stone Three Digital’s experienced professional services team which comprises of specialist process engineers with postgraduate data analytics training who work in close collaboration with site. Core to the service is the link between Stone Three Digital data analyses skills, process knowledge, and site interaction. The RM&D technology includes the use of a RM&D platform and advanced data analytics tools.

The RM&D service has provided tangible benefits to mining operations through, for example, automated flotation health notifications, oscillation detection and root cause analysis, control performance monitoring for prioritized instrumentation maintenance recommendations, and more.
