Case Study: Ball Mill Monitoring

In mid-2024, DataMind AI was installed at an iron ore mining site in South Australia to monitor critical equipment, including the Ball Mill. Historically, the site’s Ball Mill experienced gearbox-related issues, leading to hours of costly unplanned downtime and creating a potentially hazardous environment for the site’s teams. Upon its installation, the DataMind AI system monitored the
asset’s health as it changed from alarm to critical, timely flagging the
impending failure and identifying its root cause.

The system’s insights prevented further damage, reduced safety risks, and ensured minimal interruption to production.
