“…Storing DT data on the server side also serves as a single point of truth for future developments which may utilise data in different ways such as performance analysis, maintenance, and continuous improvement of assets. A human-centred approach using real-time 3D graphics paired with immersive technologies such as VR, AR as well as MR shows the potential to improve the usability and acceptance level of DT in the minerals industry that is largely people-focused (Kizil et al 2001; Brune 2010; Stothard et al 2019; Xie et al 2019; Deryabin et al 2020; Huang et al 2022; Liu et al 2023). More understanding is still needed on the effectiveness of combining spatial visualisation and interaction with DTs in operational scenarios before the extra cost associated with adopting the 3D workflow can be justified.…”

Digital Twins (DT) have become popular in various industries to solve complex problems. A true DT allows for bidirectional real-time data flows between the physical and virtual worlds.The term DT was often overused, leading to confusion about its capabilities therefore this paper provides a review of the current state of DT and its applications in the minerals industry.Existing literature shows a slow adoption of DTs in the minerals industry, which is largely due to challenges associated with geological unpredictability, legacy system integration, cost, skill gaps, cybersecurity, and lack of standards.Combining immersive visualisation with real-time spatial computer graphics could improve the usability and acceptance of DTs in the minerals industry which has been used successfully in training while underexplored for operational scenarios. The study concludes by highlighting the need for further research to understand the effectiveness of such an approach in mineral operations.

“…Combined with the integrated perception of sensor data, such as machine vision, inertial measurement unit (IMU), and real‐time kinematics (RTK), the construction safety of unmanned bulldozers and autonomous excavators can be ensured (You et al, 2021; Zhang et al, 2021). Deryabina et al (2020) combined with DT to realize intelligent process control of mine construction, covering the collaborative construction process of various construction machinery (excavators, loaders, and mining cards). The research of DT in earthwork construction can improve safety and is considered to be promising.…”

The unstructured construction site with a complex and changeable environment brings challenges to human–machine interaction. In this study, the earthwork digital twin (DT) is proposed to realize accurate and real‐time perception, which can support the teleoperation of an automated bulldozer. The overall framework includes anterior‐time DT, real‐time DT, and posterior‐time DT, which integrates three‐dimensional modeling, edge detection, and blade trajectory algorithms. Multidimensional heterogeneous data in bulldozer teleoperation can be displayed in real‐time to ensure construction safety. Big data during teleoperation of the construction process can be collected, stored, and analyzed. The DT proposed in this study was successfully applied in a major construction project in China, and testing results show its universality, robustness, and advanced performance. The key technologies proposed in this study can be applied to solve the common problems in the construction industry, which is promising for future intelligent construction.

“…Ultimately, advancements in DT research can also contribute towards realising a future of industrial metaverse (Liu et al, 2023;Stothard, 2023) a hypothetical future iteration of the Internet as a collective, immersive and collaborative virtual space where people can work, entertain, trade as well as other things they could do in life using technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) to provide human-centred experiences which had also been used to deliver effective industrial training (Bise, 1997;Denby et al, 1998;Kerridge et al, 2003;Kizil et al, 2001;Schofield et al, 1994;Squelch, 1997) and human-centred cyber-physical systems (Brune, 2010;Deryabin et al, 2020;Huang et al, 2022;LeBlanc-Smith et al, 1998;Stothard et al, 2019;Xie et al, 2019).…”

Digital twins (DTs) are transforming business operations across industries through accurate replication of physical entities using the Internet of Things and big data analytics. Despite booming progress in the manufacturing, aerospace and buildings sectors, the adoption of DTs in the minerals industry has been slow, and integration with efficient visualisation and user interactions has not been fully optimised to achieve maximum fidelity and usability. One promising avenue for enhancing DT capabilities is the utilisation of extended reality (XR) technologies, which also hold great potential for realising an industrial metaverse where real-world business activities can be conducted in a virtual space. This article proposes a cost-effective and scalable approach to developing a DT with real-time monitoring and control capabilities for a ball mill operation, a widely used processing equipment in the minerals industry. The case study showcases two approaches with different levels of system integration by leveraging serious game development platforms, toolkits and workflows.
