Control system upgrades in brownfield mineral processing plants are high‑stakes work, with legacy hardware, hidden risks and tight shutdown windows all threatening production and budgets. This guide cuts through the complexity with practical strategies operators can use to assess ageing systems, manage risk, plan phased implementations and bring teams along for a smoother transition to modern automation. It’s about modernising without causing mayhem on site.
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.
Leaching is a cornerstone of hydrometallurgical processing, particularly in copper and gold extraction. While the basic principle — using a solvent to dissolve valuable metals from ore — seems straightforward,
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
In copper electrorefining, performance optimisation is a must for maximum current efficiency, lower costs, and ensuring that cathode quality remains within specification. One of the

Discover how modern Asset Performance Management tools are changing the game for processing plants. This piece breaks down the latest APM solutions designed to be accessible for plant teams, empowering them to move from reactive maintenance to data-driven, predictive strategies that minimise downtime, boost equipment reliability and reduce costs. Emphasis is on real-world usability, streamlined data insights and practical benefits that help keep ore flowing smoothly through the plant.
