Join us for a panel discussion with Mining Magazine and OSIsoft (now part of Aveva) that will discuss how mining companies have to contend with an unpredictable market and volatile commodities pricing.

This results in miners having to increase tonnage and reducing costs.

In pursuit of more stable results in their operations, mining companies hope to find support from AI-driven technologies to improve quality, increase tonnage throughput and even achieve autonomous operations.

But first, they must lay down the proper data foundation to take advantage of the many benefits that AI can offer.

In the webinar you will learn:

  • A simple definition of AI and the benefits of adopting it into your operations
  • AI maturity model
  • The anatomy of a successful AI project
  • Real-world examples and success stories
