Analyzing historical mining data with Amazon Bedrock
The development of a new mine is a long process. Figures from S&P Global1 show that the average lead time is now extended to over 15 years from discovery to operations. To meet soaring demand for critical minerals, the mining industry is increasingly targeting previously mined or explored areas, and re-evaluating viability of these deposits […]
Accelerated chip verification using AWS EC2 F1 and VeriFire
The generative artificial intelligence (AI) transformation is driving unprecedented demand for chips that are required to train and run increasingly sophisticated machine learning (ML) models. In response, the semiconductor industry is designing advanced node chips that are more complex and have more transistors than ever before. For instance, the latest Nvidia Blackwell 4nm chip contains […]
The electrification revolution: Powering the mine of the future
The transition to net-zero is driving unprecedented demand for the critical minerals needed in everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines. Meeting this surging demand is leading the mining industry to a technological revolution of its own – an electrification revolution. Traditionally, mining operations have relied heavily on diesel-powered trucks, excavators, and mobile machinery to […]
How Polymathian uses Amazon ECS Anywhere to optimize underground mine production in near real time
The complexity inherent to operating a successful underground mine is easily missed by those who have never visited one—after all, the sprawling maze of tunnels and workings are hidden deep below the Earth’s surface. These mines are often located in geographically remote areas, making it difficult to get personnel and equipment onsite at short notice, […]
The Future of Mining is in the Cloud
Humanity has been shaped by the minerals and materials extracted from the Earth. Mining has transformed how we live while supporting an ever-increasing global population, and over centuries, the mining industry has met this increasing demand with fewer resources while becoming safer and more productive. That’s not to say the industry isn’t without controversy, and […]
