A digital twin designed for automation of statutory emission reporting and a virtual model of a mining site for predictive maintenance are among the finalists in the Digital Twin category of the 2024 Australian IoT Awards.
The awards are the official awards program of IoT Alliance Australia, Australia’s peak industry body for Internet of Things (IoT), and IoT Hub.
The entries provide a snapshot of how IoT is being used to advance productivity, security and sustainability across Australian industry and government, from water and energy to manufacturing and government services.
Winners of IoT Awards categories will be announced over networking drinks and canapes at the culmination of the 2024 IoT Impact conference on June 13 at UTS in Sydney.
In its fifth year, the IoT Impact conference and exhibition will explore, debate and uncover how Australia organisations can achieve sustainability goals, achieve trust and implement IoT technologies to create a data smart Australia. Purchase tickets and see the IoT Impact Conference agenda here.
The Digital Twin Award finalists:
Digital Twinning Australia’s CCEmission360, a digital twin solution to resolve CapEx-OpEx-emissions impact trade-off
Digital Twinning Australia created a minimum viable product for a digital twin designed to enable automation of statutory emission reporting for an unnamed multinational client, through “precise determination of the ‘green’ content in ore tonnage”.
The project aims to govern the process from IoT live data collection to data analysis from more than 100 sources within a concentrator plant.
CCEmission360 also helps optimise the lifecycle of plant assets through real-time performance evaluations.
Newmont’s Lihir Operating Strategy Simulation
The Lihir LOS Simulation Tool for Newmont Mining has pioneered the use of digital twin technology in mining, creating a real-time, virtual model of the mining site.
A key aim is to improve efficiency and profitability of the Lihir gold mine, including by addressing the challenge of optimising mill throughput without being constrained by autoclave capacity.
Real-time data relating to machinery, environmental conditions and operational processes is collected and made available for analysis and application in the digital twin model to enable predictive maintenance and provide operational insights.
Using cloud computing and Kubernetes-based auto-scaling (KEDA), the infrastructure is designed to be scalable and cost-effective.
Thank you to all entrants
If your entry isn’t a finalist, that does not mean the judges thought it was without merit. Separating the nominations was not always straightforward. Thank you for giving the judges the opportunity to learn more about your achievements.
A special thank you to the award judges who brought valuable knowledge in key domains to the judging process.
We also thank IoT Skills Australia for making the 2024 IoT Awards possible though their sponsorship.
The IoT Impact conference will be held in Sydney on 13 June, 2024, at the Great Hall, UTS. Purchase tickets and see the IoT Impact Conference agenda here.
