INDUSTRIAL AI AND SIMULATION
The Experience of Operators Encoded in Software.
idoba brings critical operating decisions forward, giving mining and metals teams more time to investigate, compare options and act with greater confidence.
The Cost of Finding Out Too Late is High.
WHY TIME MATTERS
When constraints are recognised only after schedules are committed, or developing pot damage becomes obvious after it has progressed, the options to respond narrow.
Bringing evidence forward gives teams more time to investigate, compare, and act.
THE VALUE OF TIME
Move Critical Operating Decisions Earlier, While There is Still Time to Act.
Early intervention protects production and safety by reducing the number of costly and hazardous unplanned events.
ONE OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
Two Specialist Products Built to Support Your Operating Decisions.
idoba.sim and idoba.predict share one philosophy: move critical operating decisions earlier, while there is still time to act. Each product serves a different operating environment, decisions, and technology needs.
UNDERGROUND MINING SIMULATION
Stress-test The Weekly Schedule Before Execution.
idoba.sim models individual equipment, operating rules and underground interactions to compare how weekly schedule scenarios perform across a realistic range of outcomes. Identify constraints and interaction exposure earlier, improve confidence in planned tonnes and development, and test changes before crews, equipment and cost are committed.
ALUMINIUM SMELTER DIGITAL TWIN
Identify Cathode and Sidewall Failure Risks Earlier.
idoba.predict combines a pot-level digital twin with machine-learning models developed for specific cathode and sidewall failure modes. It analyses a smelter's existing operational and laboratory data pot by pot, giving engineers more time to investigate and intervene before damage progresses. This extends pot life, protects production and reduces the cost and safety exposure of unplanned failure.
Built Around The Decision.
Grounded in Operational Evidence.
HOW WE WORK
idoba starts with the operating decision, not the technology searching for a use case. Mining and metals specialists shape the operating logic, data relationships, outputs, and workflow. Their experience becomes repeatable through purpose-built software, while the people accountable for the outcome retain judgement and control.
Developed with Operating Expertise.
Specialists define the problem, operating logic and evidence the decision requires.
Implemented Around Your Operation.
Productised software is configured to the relevant site data, rules, conditions and workflows.
Supported Into Operational Use.
Outputs are validated and connected to existing decision cycles while the operation retains control.
Explore the Product Built to Support Your Critical Operating Decisions.
Use idoba.sim to stress-test weekly underground schedules before execution, or idoba.predict to identify cathode and sidewall failure risk earlier in aluminium reduction.
