Razor Labs, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) driven predictive maintenance solutions, has signed a subscription agreement with SIMEC Mining, a major industrial and mining operator in South Australia.
Building on the promising initial pilot phase, this partnership will see the continued deployment of Razor Labs’ DataMind AI predictive maintenance system across SIMEC’s critical assets.
“The initial stages of implementing DataMind AI have shown potential in enhancing our site’s operations,” SIMEC Mining chief engineering and reliability John Stewart said.
“By providing early warnings and actionable insights, we aim to prevent equipment failures before they occur, significantly reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. DataMind AI also helps us maintain a safer working environment by minimising the need for manual inspections in hazardous areas.
“We are optimistic about the continued benefits that this technology will deliver.”
SIMEC Mining innovation and technology manager Karl Reichenberg said the Datamind AI platform complements the company’s existing asset management, downtime detection and conditional monitoring systems and seamlessly integrates with its existing historian data.
