Abstract

ABSTRACTDigital Twins (DT) have become popular in various industries to solve complex problems. A true DT allows for bidirectional real-time data flows between the physical and virtual worlds.The term DT was often overused, leading to confusion about its capabilities therefore this paper provides a review of the current state of DT and its applications in the minerals industry. Existing literature shows a slow adoption of DTs in the minerals industry, which is largely due to challenges associated with geological unpredictability, legacy system integration, cost, skill gaps, cybersecurity, and lack of standards.Combining immersive visualisation with real-time spatial computer graphics could improve the usability and acceptance of DTs in the minerals industry which has been used successfully in training while underexplored for operational scenarios. The study concludes by highlighting the need for further research to understand the effectiveness of such an approach in mineral operations.KEYWORDS: Digital twinsmining and mineral processingIndustry 4.0internet of thingsdigitalisationsystem integrationextended realitycorporate Metaverse Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by University of Queensland.

矿业中的数字孪生——全面回顾
摘要数字孪生(digital Twins, DT)已广泛应用于各行业解决复杂问题。真正的DT允许物理世界和虚拟世界之间的双向实时数据流。DT这个术语经常被过度使用,导致对其功能的混淆,因此本文提供了DT的现状及其在矿物工业中的应用的回顾。现有文献显示,DTs在矿产行业的采用缓慢,这主要是由于与地质不可预测性、遗留系统集成、成本、技能差距、网络安全以及缺乏标准相关的挑战。将身临其境的可视化与实时空间计算机图形结合起来,可以提高矿物工业中dt的可用性和接受度,这种技术已成功地用于培训,但未充分探索用于业务情景。研究报告最后强调需要进一步研究,以了解这种方法在矿物作业中的有效性。关键词:数字孪生采矿与选矿工业4.0物联网数字化系统集成扩展现实企业元世界披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。本研究得到了昆士兰大学的支持。
