ABB has launched GMD Copilot, an AI-powered tool designed to improve the operational efficiency of gearless mill drives (GMDs). This innovative digital assistant enables operators to access real-time data, optimizing decision-making and predictive maintenance in mining operations .
Intelligent optimization with GMD Copilot
In the mineral processing industry, gearless mills play a critical role in crushing and separating valuable minerals from the remaining rock. These GMD drive systems have been recognized for their ability to eliminate unnecessary mechanical components, resulting in more efficient operations with lower carbon emissions.
Indeed, in a market like copper, which faces growing demand due to the transition to a low-emissions economy, optimizing mining processes becomes crucial.
Through GMD Connect, ABB’s cloud- based monitoring platform, GMD Copilot offers an intuitive interface that facilitates the efficient management of GMD systems . Users can quickly access technical documentation, maintenance recommendations, and operational guidelines, helping to prevent unplanned downtime and maximize equipment performance.
ABB moves toward more sustainable mining
By incorporating generative AI capabilities into critical industrial applications, we are responding to the growing need for faster and more efficient solutions for GMD system maintenance.
Commented Carlos Míguez Fernández, Global Product Manager for Gearless Mill Drive Services at ABB.
This advancement aligns with ABB’s efforts to drive more sustainable mining, contributing to a future where critical mineral resources are extracted more efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner.
