If you’re heading to the UK Digitial Twin 2024 don’t forget to check out Rob’s workshop on designing digital twins. It’s sure to be enlightening!

With the Geminum Improvement Twin, miners can track the progress of BI projects from within the Twin. Where the improvement is associated with a piece of equipment, the Improvement Twin will measure the impact of the improvement project against the previous production losses. Additionally, the Improvement Twin can recommend improvement opportunities for equipment based on historic product losses. #digitaltwins #improvementtwin #businessimprovement

Navigating the complexities of digital twins in mining involves cutting through the hype to focus on practical applications on-site. A major challenge lies in understanding that twins mirror our physical systems —as these systems evolve, so does their twin, influencing their utility. Rather than fixating on the technology, think of twins in terms of Use Cases. Different stakeholders onsite can leverage a twin for various purposes simultaneously. Key validated use cases of the Improvement twin in mining include: - Identifying and tracking dynamic bottlenecks throughout the day is crucial for maximising existing system throughput. - Targeting initiatives to mitigate the largest cumulative production losses, thereby optimising throughput. - Aligning improvement budgets with production opportunities to enhance cost-effectiveness. - Enhancing maintenance productivity by adapting schedules based on unplanned downtime or production changes. - Facilitating rapid post-shutdown ramp-ups by pinpointing and addressing bottlenecks in near real-time. Discover how these applications of digital twins can drive operational efficiency and innovation in mining. #DigitalTwins #MiningInnovation #OperationalEfficiency #UseCases

With the Geminum Improvement Twin, miners gain a near real-time view of bottlenecks and constraints across mine site value chains. It includes a constraints model and tradeoff advisor to optimise ROI and/or minimise production losses. Process variability often renders plans sub-optimal in real time despite strategic alignment. The Improvement Twin highlights bottlenecks, measures production losses, and suggests improvements to enhance throughput. Teams can identify and prioritise local bottlenecks, improving collaboration and decision-making. It integrates live production data for informed improvement initiatives and facilitates proactive maintenance decisions during downtime. As specialists in digital twins for asset-intensive industries, we deliver tailored solutions for continuous operational improvement across all value chains." #digitaltwin #improvementtwin #businessimprovement

TOC (Theory of Constraints) is a powerful production flow methodology, though it's underutilised in mining due to high process variability. Traditionally, TOC implementations rely on old data and site-specific insights—making them far less effective. 🚀 Enter Digital Twins Our Improvement twin connects real-time data sources to bespoke data models, providing near real-time visibility into production losses across your value chains. It helps miners identify and prioritise system-level losses over local ones, enabling your BI team to make data-driven decisions. 💡 Why it Matters With our twin, you gain cumulative insights from pit to product, uncovering even small, systemic losses. Combined with TOC, this empowers you to design smarter upgrades, optimise capacity, and make every dollar count—without needing to be a TOC expert. 📈 Simple Implementation There is no need for AI or black boxes. You can host the twin yourself or let us support it, giving you the tools to reduce production losses and maximise ROI.

How do use cases unlock the power of digital twins? One of the biggest challenges in using digital twins is that as physical systems evolve, so do the twins themselves—and, with that, their potential applications. The best way to think about digital twins is through Use Cases, not just the technology behind them. Here are some key use cases of the Geminum Improvement Twin that we have validated with miners: - Tracking Real-Time Bottlenecks - Identify and track moving bottlenecks throughout the day to maximise throughput and separate local noise from global impact. - Maximising Throughput - Focus on cumulative production losses, not just the largest individual downtimes, to achieve greater throughput improvements. - Optimising Improvement Budgets - Allocate resources more effectively by linking costs to measurable production opportunities. - Boosting Maintenance Productivity - Re-plan work to utilise unplanned downtime and adjust to changes in production schedules. - Speeding Up Post-Shutdown Ramp-Ups - Identify bottlenecks in near real-time to quickly address and solve losses, driving faster ramp-ups.

Mining faces a constant challenge in minimising losses and maximising ROI, but tracking where and why these losses occur can be complex and time-consuming. Our Improvement Twin provides a game-changing solution. 🔍 Key Benefits: - Tracks production losses in real-time across your entire value chain - Identifies whether losses are local (specific to an area) or global (system-level) - Aggregates losses at the equipment, value chain, and site level vs. plan & capacity - Prioritises systemic production losses, reducing the focus on minor local disruptions - Brings small, hard-to-track losses into the light, enabling smarter budgeting and faster mitigation - Connects seamlessly with your BI tools for real-time insights into cost, progress, and ROI - Enhances capacity planning by highlighting gaps between planned and actual production across various areas By offering visibility from pit to product (and soon ore body to port), the Improvement Twin helps you prioritise the right improvements, maximise project ROI, and minimise production losses across your operations.

The Geminum Improvement Twin includes the Initiative Manager — a powerful addition that seamlessly connects production constraints with your existing BI/CI tools; our solution integrates smoothly, enabling bidirectional data flow for enhanced visibility and efficiency. 🔍 Key Features of the Initiative Manager:  ▶️ Easily flag and drill down into constraints and initiatives. Monitor stages, completion timelines, and forecasted savings directly within the twin. ▶️ Access and review current initiatives targeting constraints without delving into the BI tool — simplicity at its best! ▶️ View past improvements, including who enacted them, when, and their reported benefits, helping you learn from history. ▶️ Keep track of completed initiatives even after project dates, allowing for long-term reporting on improvements and loss aversions. ▶️ The twin recommends constraints for improvement based on configurable parameters, such as frequency and recent work orders, helping you stay ahead of potential issues. Transform your data into actionable insights with the Initiative Manager and take your BI/CI strategy to the next level. #DigitalTwin #BusinessImprovement #BI #CI #ContinuousImprovement #InitiativeManager

In an industry where seconds count, the Geminum Improvement Twin helps miners to continue delivering despite an acute and ongoing skills shortage. By leveraging advanced digital tools like the Improvement Twin, miners can make more informed decisions, optimise their resources, and keep production on track. Leveraging advanced technologies like the Geminum Improvement Twin will become crucial as the mining industry transitions and supports the world's energy transition. The twin isn’t just a static model; it evolves as your physical systems change, adapting to new challenges and opportunities. Rather than focusing on technology, think of the twin in terms of its practical applications or Use Cases.
