Résumé
Success of the HDS™ technology in the pipeline sector has sparked interest in other resource industries, notably global mining entities interested in its use for monitoring of long-run conveyor systems. This project aims to develop the capability for autonomous identification of faulty conveyor components (idlers) through use of advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms to improve operating efficiencies and preclude the need for high-risk conveyor maintenance activities. The mining application presents several novel challenges including the nature of key events, ambient environment, and required spatial resolution and this project focuses on the R&D required to understand and overcome these challenges en route to a commercial solution.

Description
Success of the HDS™ technology in the pipeline sector has sparked interest in other resource industries, notably global mining entities interested in its use for monitoring of long-run conveyor systems. This project aims to develop the capability for autonomous identification of faulty conveyor components (idlers) through use of advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms to improve operating efficiencies and preclude the need for high-risk conveyor maintenance activities.

Description (French)
Le succès de la technologie HDS™ dans le secteur des pipelines a suscité l’intérêt d’autres industries de ressources, notamment des entités minières mondiales intéressées par son utilisation pour la surveillance des systèmes de convoyage à long terme. Ce projet vise à développer la capacité d’identification autonome des composants défectueux des convoyeurs (rouleaux) grâce à l’utilisation d’algorithmes avancés d’apprentissage automatique (ML) afin d’améliorer l’efficacité opérationnelle et d’exclure le besoin d’activités de maintenance des convoyeurs à haut risque. L’application minière présente plusieurs nouveaux défis, notamment la nature des évènements clés, l’environnement ambiant et la résolution spatiale requise. Ce projet se concentre sur la R-D nécessaire pour comprendre et surmonter ces défis en vue d’une solution commerciale.
