Project

Conveyor-system Digital Twin

A physics-and-data digital twin for conveyor predictive maintenance, energy efficiency and safer operation, developed with industry input.

Phemelo Selomane’s project is developing a digital twin of a mining conveyor using both physical and data-based models. The project is intended to support predictive maintenance, efficiency and safety and is being developed with Thungela as an industry partner.

Big ideas, a little mystery. We respect our students’ privacy while sharing their research. Until they choose to introduce themselves, we use illustrated avatars and purely fictional names, and keep their real names, faces and contact details private.
