TOMRA - Artificial Intelligence in Mining

TOMRA Mining say it is opening a new era in sorting with its latest innovation, OBTAIN™, which leverages Deep Learning to bring single-particle precision to high-throughput particle sorting.

The company’s experience with AI dates back to 1993, when its predecessor CommoDaS developed sensor-based sorters using AI in their image processing systems to identify particle properties. Over the years, sensor-based sorting technology has developed, and TOMRA has been using Machine Learning in its X-Ray Transmission (XRT) and Near-Infrared (NIR) sorters for the last 10 years.

AI is playing an increasingly important role in mineral sorting. Stefan Jürgensen, Software Team Leader at TOMRA Mining, explains how it has powered sensor-based sorting and how TOMRA’s revolutionary Deep Learning innovation is set to unlock new opportunities for mining operations.
