Predictive Maintenance: Bridging the Data Gap in Global Mining


Listen Later

In this episode, we chat with Charlie Forrest, CEO of Dingo, an award-winning Enterprise Predictive Maintenance Software solution for the Mining industry, that helps reduce major component failures, improve the reliability of assets and safely boost production while decreasing maintenance costs

In this episode, we dig into what’s really holding maintenance teams back, from fragmented OEM systems and underused data to the challenge of turning early warnings into actual decisions on the ground. We also explore what Charlie is seeing across different operations, where AI is genuinely starting to move the needle, and what the best-run sites are doing differently when it comes to reliability

If you care about getting beyond dashboards and into real operational impact, this is a conversation worth paying attention to.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Many mining operations are inundated with data and dashboards but lack the time or tools to translate that information into actionable maintenance decisions.
  • Effective predictive maintenance requires combining fluid analysis, telemetry data, and visual inspections to build a comprehensive picture of asset health.
  • Successful sites like Newmont integrate maintenance as a core pillar of the business, breaking down silos between corporate strategy and on-the-ground operations.
  • The next evolution of the industry lies in better wireless sensor technology to eliminate common cable failures and leveraging AI for deeper, streamlined insights.
  • BEST MOMENTS

    "We've gone through this phase of collecting data and a lot of data over like 10 years, and now it's almost the opposite. Everyone's got too much data; they don't know what to do with it."

    "We're like that safety net or that safety blanket... if just one thing falls through the cracks, it could cost them millions."

    "The reality is that we sell into maintenance departments which aren't the most extroverted department... and you don't get many general managers or mine managers who actually come from maintenance. They usually come from production because production is king."

    "The two fundamentals in any SaaS business... is data and domain expertise. That will stand the test of time, and that's fundamentally what we have as a business.”
