Equipment Predictive Maintenance
AI monitoring of draglines, shovels, conveyors, crushers, and haulage trucks — predicting failures before they cause unplanned downtime and safety incidents.
Ore Grade Estimation
ML models integrating drill data, geophysical surveys, and laboratory assays to build real-time 3D grade models — optimising blast design and beneficiation.
Mine Safety AI
Computer vision for PPE compliance monitoring, gas sensor AI for early warning of methane/CO buildup, and worker location tracking for emergency response.
Fleet & Haul Road Optimisation
AI dispatch systems that route haul trucks optimally — minimising cycle time, reducing fuel consumption 10–15%, and improving shovel utilisation.
Case Study — Coal Mine Achieves 19% Productivity Gain
A Jharkhand coal mine deployed MNB Research's fleet optimisation and equipment maintenance AI — achieving 19% improvement in coal output per shift without additional equipment investment.
