Automation

Imvelo recognises the transformative potential of integrated autonomous solutions in resource operations. By strategically deploying autonomous technologies, coupled with process re-design initiatives, Imvelo drives substantial value uplift across mine sites. By seamlessly integrating operational technologies, we achieve significant cost reductions and productivity enhancements, while prioritising the safety of personnel.

We work across the full suite of automation solutions in the areas of:

• Automation technology readiness planning
• Implementation, embedment and driving improvement of autonomous solutions at the operation
• Site operational technology evaluations and project management of required uplift/remediation to support autonomous systems
• Autonomy-as-a-service partnerships
• Remote operational technology support hub to ensure availability of base infrastructure (TROC)

Technology Remote Operating Centre (TROC)

The increased implementation of autonomous and digital solutions in mining environments requires an increased focus on operational technology to bring it to the levels of availability, reliability and focused maintenance practices that are required. Automation of a business process requires multi-tiered integrated applications and components. However, operational technology is not typically considered or included in asset management activities, which results in the introduction of instability in the system.

Imvelo’s Technology Remote Operating Centre seamlessly and remotely monitors, diagnoses, and manages operational technology assets to bolster productivity and safety across mine sites while reducing technology downtime through continuous improvement.

Resource Engineering

Processing the data from core samples into a block model to both assess an ore body’s economic viability, plus to ultimately develop detailed mine plans, is often slow, linear and suppresses variability. Using innovative scan data techniques, coupled with advanced mining and processing simulators, Imvelo’s Resource Engineering accelerates resource-to-reserve conversion through cutting edge data generation and optimisation techniques, in turn dramatically shortening the time to assess an asset’s economic viability, its mining and processing options, plus enabling advanced mining techniques at operations stage. Our capability in mine engineering supports our automation program in supporting mine operations with mine design and planning changes that are required to achieve the best outcomes from autonomous systems.
