The Indonesian mining industry holding company, MIND ID, is utilising\nartificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen occupational safety within\nmining environments. This includes detecting indications of fatigue and\nmicrosleep in operators.<\/p>\n
This technology is part of MIND ID Group\u2019s broader AI implementation\naimed at improving safety, operational efficiency, and the reliability\nof the mining industry. AI is being applied across various stages of the\nmining value chain, from exploration and mining operations to mineral\nprocessing and energy management.<\/p>\n
MIND ID Deputy President Director, Dany Amrul Ichdan, stated that the\nuse of AI is directed towards enabling faster, more accurate, and\ndata-driven decision-making. According to him, the technology holds\nvalue when it can provide a direct impact on the security and\nreliability of operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe value of AI is not in the model itself. The value lies in safer\ndecisions, more reliable assets, better resource discovery, and lower\noperational impacts,\u201d said Dany during the Kadin Energy Insight Forum,\nas reported on Friday (11\/9\/2026).<\/p>\n
Currently, the MIND ID Group is using an AI-enabled fatigue\nmanagement system capable of providing early warnings for indications of\nfatigue and microsleep in operators. This system helps reduce the risk\nof workplace accidents while strengthening operational safety in the\nfield.<\/p>\n
The use of AI has also been expanded to the operational side through\nAI vision technology to monitor conveyor conditions and detect potential\ndisruptions early. This technology can identify several issues, such as\nbelt damage, unsuitable material sizes, and contamination that could\npotentially disrupt the production process.<\/p>\n
MIND ID Group is also developing machine learning technology to\noptimise smelter operations, including the management of the FeNi Rotary\nKiln. The application of this technology is aimed at increasing\noperational stability as well as the efficiency of the mineral\nprocessing process.<\/p>\n
At PT Bukit Asam (PTBA), the integration of digital systems that\nconnect operational data in real-time has helped improve work process\nefficiency and support the company\u2019s operational productivity. AI is\nalso being utilised in the exploration process through AI-enabled\ngeologging to improve the quality of drilling data and accelerate rock\ncore analysis.<\/p>\n
MIND ID is further developing an energy and emissions intelligence\nsystem that connects asset reliability data, process efficiency, fuel\nconsumption, and emissions into a single integrated system. This system\nis expected to help the company increase energy efficiency while\nsupporting sustainability targets.<\/p>\n
Dany stated that the digital transformation undertaken by MIND ID is\npart of a paradigm shift in the national mining industry. The company\u2019s\nfuture advantage will be determined not only by the size of mineral\nreserves but also by the ability to utilise data and technology to\nproduce safer, more efficient, and sustainable operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cMIND ID is moving from resource advantage towards intelligence\nadvantage. We want to ensure that the Indonesian mining industry enters\na more advanced era by leveraging technological capabilities to create\nsafer, more efficient, and sustainable operations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The use of AI demonstrates that technology is being positioned as a\nvital component in managing MIND ID\u2019s mining operations. Its\nimplementation is directed not only towards increasing productivity but\nalso towards strengthening occupational safety and ensuring the\nsustainability of operations.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/mind-id-utilises-ai-to-detect-fatigue-and-microsleep-in-mining-operators-1789106363", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
