Uptake teams up with Symboticware

27/01/2020

US-based company Uptake has confirmed it has partnered with Symboticware to provide mining companies with an end-to-end integrated artificial intelligence (AI) and data science solution to increase the productivity of mobile mining equipment.

The joint solution combines Symboticware’s SymBot® device, which provides data capture from mining fleets, and Uptake’s Asset Performance Management (APM) software, Asset IO, which applies AI to surface predictive insights from the data.

The combination of the two, according to Uptake, arms users with:
  • Data-driven cost reductions: for an average medium-sized mining site, Asset IO can save as much as $2.5 million per year (approximately £1.9 million per year) in haul truck maintenance, fuel and tyre costs alone. Additionally, operator and fleet productivity is optimised with the help of benchmarking and informed decision-making;
  • Actionable insights for continuous improvement: Asset IO quickly turns data into actionable AI-driven insights. The software deploys AI models that are pre-trained to drive greater performance, reliability and availability of the mobile mining fleet; and
  • Greater visibility into assets: collect data from sensors, store time-stamped values in an internal database and seamlessly transmit data for AI analysis.
