Problem
Mining operations face challenges in optimizing processes and reducing resource consumption due to a lack of real-time data on ore composition and characteristics. Traditional mineral analysis methods are often lab-based, time-consuming, and provide infrequent feedback, hindering timely adjustments to improve efficiency.
Solution
MinDet provides custom-built, AI-powered sensing devices that deliver real-time analysis of ore properties directly within mining operations. These devices utilize advanced imaging techniques and tailored AI algorithms to determine modal mineralogy, particle size distribution, and mineral liberation. By integrating with process historians, MinDet's technology enables data-driven decision-making, allowing for optimized process control, reduced energy and water usage, and enhanced operational efficiency. The company offers solutions for laboratory analysis, continuous slurry analysis in concentrators, and over-the-conveyor belt measurements.
