PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Gold miner Newcrest Mining is looking to enhance the use of automation and artificial intelligence across its operations, announcing on Tuesday the creation of an Innovation and Digital Operations Center (IDOC) in India.

Newcrest has signed a collaboration agreement with information technology consultancy Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to create the IDOC, which will leverage off TCS’s global research and innovation networks to explore opportunities to improve activities across a range of Newcrest operations, including ore processing and techniques for predictive targeting.

“At Newcrest we are committed to being leaders in technology and innovation. We are always seeking out new ways to improve our operations,” said Newcrest MD and CEO Sandeep Biswas.

“We want to enhance and accelerate the way we use automation and artificial intelligence across our business to improve our returns to shareholders.”

“TCS will help us to fast-track our transformation towards our 2020 aspirations,” Biswas said, adding that the collaboration with TCS would build on the company’s existing digital platforms.
