that ' s exactly what Plotlogic delivers with our innovative technology ,” said CEO and co-founder Dr Andrew Job .
" Mining is a critical industry , so we ' re passionate about helping make mining processes the best they can be , and we ' re thrilled to be supported by so many stakeholders who share our vision to make mining more sustainable ."
Founded in 2018 in Brisbane , Plotlogic helps mine operators increase output and reduce waste by identifying the location and material properties of every rock in their mine . By making the mining process more precise , Plotlogic ' s technology also has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions .
Innovation Endeavors Partner , Sam Smith- Eppsteiner , states that bringing a new data modality to bear allows Plotlogic to generate precise , real-time , and predictive ore body knowledge .
“ Early customer relationships underscore the value of such improved understanding : optimised operations , reduced carbon emissions and waste , and increased access to minerals critical to the energy transition like nickel , copper and manganese ,” she said . OreSense , Plotlogic ’ s first commercial product , combines LiDAR and hyperspectral imaging technology with advanced machine learning algorithms to deliver highly accurate ore characterisation in real time .
Many of the world ' s top mining companies , including BHP , Anglo American and Glencore , use OreSense to make better decisions , improve ore recovery , reduce dilution , and enhance environmental and social governance performance .
