Simulation Models as the Core of a Digital Twin for a Copper Ore Mine

Presentation Abstract for the 2024 ESI SimulationX User Forum

Dr. Torsten Hellmuth - Senior Key Expert, Product Management Mining, INNOMOTICS GmbH

"The transport line of a copper ore mine is about 13km long and consists of 12 belt conveyors. Each belt conveyor was modeled in SimulationX. The models run 24/7 in parallel with the real system and provide various data which, combined with the measured values of the belt conveyors, provide essential information and KPIs on the technical condition of the system as well as on the process quality.

The models are continuously scaled automatically to minimize possible deviations between the real belt conveyor and the model due to wear or temperature influences.

The digital twin, in particular the belt conveyor models and the scaling function developed together with ESI, are the subject of this presentation."
