Augment Technologies leverages a physics engine powered by an AI algorithm to create a Muckpile Block Model that is continuously improved through a machine-learning process. The process uses vast amounts of blasting data to ensure that the model’s controlling parameters and simulated physics are as accurate as possible, resulting in a bespoke solution for each customer.
Augment Technologies co-founder and chairman, Greg Hardwich, says the partnership was setting a new industry standard in minimizing ore loss and dilution due to blast movement, bringing enormous efficiency to mining processes.
