As an early adopter of Palantir Foundry, Rio Tinto has already built a robust digital twin, or “Ontology,” which serves as a unified data model for critical operations.

The Ontology enables Rio Tinto to leverage AIP to rapidly develop, test, and deploy AI-driven solutions, addressing challenges in areas like plant operations, geotechnical risk management, and the coordination of unmanned trains.

“The Foundry Ontology has made our structured data accessible, and AIP is doing the same for our unstructured data while enabling us to attack with pace problems previously deemed too complex,” said Bold Bataar, Rio Tinto’s Chief Commercial Officer.

Meanwhile, in Mongolia’s Oyu Tolgoi mine, the Ontology provides dynamic risk management for one of the world’s most challenging mining environments.
