How We Helped Newcrest Mining Maximize Efficiency and Profitability Across Processing Plants with Model Predictive Control

In pursuit of greater efficiency and profitability, Newcrest embarked on a multi-year Process Control & Analytics (PC&A) initiative in partnership with the Kalypso Industrial Data Science team. The forward-thinking PC&A framework strategically combined internal skill enhancement with external collaboration, empowering the deployment of cutting-edge technologies including AI and advanced process controls to revolutionize Newcrest's operations.

Newcrest engaged the Kalypso Industrial Data Science team to explore how Pavilion8® model predictive control (MPC) technology could be deployed in its process plants to achieve key targets. The joint efforts of the Newcrest and Kalypso teams yielded improvements that not only met but often more than doubled the initial targets set, delivering significant and ongoing economic and environmental benefits.

How we helped a major tire manufacturer make half a million more tires each year

Kalypso was brought in by the client to evaluate their tire production with the goal of reducing down time with the help of AI. We trained an algorithm to predict bad splices before they happen and prescribe pressure setting adjustments via the interface to the machine control system, programmatically bringing the splice within tolerance. Our work made it possible to make over half a million more tires every year.
