PT Bukit Teknologi Digital (BTech), a Delta Dunia Group subsidiary, has signed an agreement with the University of Queensland (UQ) in a bid to accelerate innovation and sustainability.
The collaboration will combine BTech’s advanced mining analytics with UQ’s leading research capabilities to develop a framework for asset health indicators to accurately determine the remaining useful life (RUL) of equipment components.
The research will be used to enhance Delta Dunia Group’s operational excellence and sustainability by reducing unplanned downtime and costly repairs.
To achieve this, the research will conduct a comprehensive analysis using data analytics, machine learning-based failure detection, component health indexing with key parameters, and the optimisation of RUL and component lifetime.
“We are excited to partner with The University of Queensland, one of the leading universities in Australia known for its world-class research expertise,” BTech president director Endang Veronica said.
“As a growing mining technology company, we are committed to investing in various innovations that enhance our end-to-end, cutting-edge solutions for our clients. This collaboration with UQ marks a milestone in our journey towards technological excellence in mining.
“By integrating pioneering research with our operational expertise, we are setting new industry standards for reliability and sustainability.”
The partnership highlights Delta Dunia Group’s commitment to deepening its Australian connections by expanding beyond business operations and focusing on collaborative research and development projects focused on sustainable practices and innovative advancements.
UQ Executive Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Architecture and Information Technology Sue Harrison said the university is thrilled to establish a research focused partnership with a mining company based in Indonesia.
“This partnership marks a significant step for the University of Queensland in fostering global innovation,” Harrison said.
“Advancing predictive maintenance is critical in optimising mining operations, and we are excited to partner with BTech in this research, which has the potential to drive new industry milestones.
“Together, we aim to deliver solutions that enhance equipment reliability while driving sustainable practices in the mining sector.”
