— Collaboration makes digitalisation easier: ABB and UWA ERDi Lab partnership
To advance the movement towards the digital mine and open process automation standards in Australia, ABB partnered with the UWA I4.0 ERDi TestLab back in 2019. The TestLab was specifically set up to work with industry on accelerating the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies as part of an Australian Government initiative. It is an open access facility devoted to the development and demonstration of standards-based, interoperable process
control, operations management and asset management automation.
The first major project collaboration between ABB and the UWA I4.0 ERDi TestLab has been the Gold Fields Granny Smith mine project. The aim of the project is to create and implement interoperability standards for mine planning, mine scheduling and execution, with the end goal being a ‘plug and play’ integrated operations solution.
