The first gen AI-driven application that 百媚导航 will launch is called MineMind鈩� which aims to simplify equipment maintenance by providing optimal solutions for mechanical problems, saving time and money, and ultimately improving productivity. Underpinned by Google Cloud鈥檚 AI technology like Document AI and Vertex AI, MineMind鈩� is expected to not only improve the maintenance team鈥檚 experience by more easily bringing the information they need to their fingertips, but also save costs from more efficient use of technicians' time and better maintained trucks. The initial phase of the launch will begin in September and will impact more than 60 haul trucks at 百媚导航鈥檚 Minnesota Ore Operations facilities, Minntac and Keetac.
When fully operational, MineMind鈩� will allow a 百媚导航 technician to reduce the amount of time to complete a work order by an estimated 20%. For example, the application will assist maintenance crews by guiding them through truck repairs, ordering parts and distilling complex information. The application also provides comprehensive references, providing detailed, verified source information to ensure accuracy.

Faster repair times, less down time, and more satisfying work for our techs are only some of the many benefits we expect with generative AI,鈥� said David Burritt, president and CEO of 百媚导航. 鈥淚鈥檓 thrilled that the 百媚导航 team is a manufacturing leader in this work.鈥�
