Over the past decade, automation has swept through control rooms, transforming mineral processing plants’ operations. Advanced process control (APC), machine learning algorithms, and digital twins are slowly becoming mainstream tools.
Digital transformation is reshaping the mining and mineral processing industries, helping operations managers tackle challenges like improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and meeting sustainability goals.
At the heart of this transformation is the Automation Pyramid—a structured model that defines the hierarchy of technology systems, from field-level devices to enterprise-wide decision-making tools. By breaking down the complex layers of automation, the Automation Pyramid provides a roadmap for mining operations to adopt advanced technologies effectively and cohesively.
Excel: a lifeline or a liability? If you’ve spent any time in mineral processing, you’ve probably worked with Excel for process calculations. It’s flexible, familiar
Discover the Mining Automation Pyramid, a five-layer framework that explains how field devices, control systems, supervisory tools and enterprise solutions work together to drive smarter, more efficient mining operations
Process stability is a key driver to maximising production, enhancing safety and reducing waste.
In this article we are going to provide some background and insight into how you can achieve operational excellence by managing variability to optimise production.
Copper processing automation uses field instruments, control systems, plant data and advanced process control to keep every stage of a copper plant stable, from grinding and flotation to smelting and tankhouse refining. Mipac has done this work since 1997, starting with the copper concentrator and smelter at Mount Isa Mines in Queensland.
We know that process optimisation is a long game. As metallurgists and engineers, we’re in this for the long haul. We aim to build excellence
Mipac has been chosen, over several competitors, to deliver the plantwide process control system (PWCS) for Arafura Rare Earths Limited’s Nolans Project in the Northern Territory, solidifying Mipac’s reputation and ability to deliver next-generation projects.
