AI solution that optimises mill throughput

In an ideal situation, the multiple material and control parameters affecting milling operations, from material weight and moisture content to water and ore loading, would remain constant. But this is impossible to guarantee when you don’t have complete visibility.

Without the ability to regulate and stabilise these variants, a mill can quickly become overfed or underutilised, leading to overheating of motors, increased energy consumption, equipment failure, and financial loss.

Lack of visibility also means that critical issues go unnoticed. Whether it’s changes in ore composition or defects in milling equipment, being able to predict, identify, and remedy these issues is crucial to ensuring product quality and asset integrity. If left, these can cause unplanned downtime, during which the plant is unable to operate.

The bottom line? Huge financial hits, decreased productivity, and potential damage to your production throughput.

This AI powered software is a pluggable platform with applications that address critical industrial challenges, including predictive maintenance, quality control, materials tracking, automation and optimisation, and the production process structure.

Using virtual sensors, video cameras, and machine vision systems, this software solution provides total transparency of the manufacturing process so that you can regulate, stabilise, and optimise every stage of production.

Equipment health and product quality is guaranteed with the PdM and Materials Tracking Applications, which highlight failure, quality and anomaly predictions, remaining useful life, and anomaly behaviour. They also detect and identify the root causes of defects in real-time and provide you with actionable recommendations on how to resolve and avoid them.

The results speak for themselves. For one company, the use of this software resulted in a 2.5% yield increase, the equivalent of $10M revenue. For another, the PdM Application decreased equipment downtime by 10% and increased the annual revenue by $6M.
