Mipac's software is trusted by Operations Managers and Metallurgists at:

Empower your frontline team with the MPA software suite for live visualisation of plant processes and timely management of production deviations

Manual monitoring methods don't provide the necessary visibility, reliability and responsiveness in mineral processing

With the MPA suite of apps, you can visualise plant processes in real-time, have timely detection of deviations and respond accurately to issues for improved production without uncertainty.

Empower your frontline team with the MPA software suite for live visualisation of plant processes and timely management of production deviations

Visualise plant processes live

With the Golden State Overview dashboard, you gain complete real-time visibility into every area of your mineral processing plant on a single screen. With this live view, you can immediately spot when a plant area is operating outside of the standard range.

Detect production deviations early

Once you’ve spotted that a plant area is operating outside the standard range, you can drill down using the Process Drivers to detect the specific process causing the deviation. This allows you to focus on the issue area on time.

Respond accurately to issues

You can configure actions for standard deviations and when an issue is detected, Digital TARP automatically recommends the correct action response to manage it. This allows the frontline teams to address the problems without waiting for directions in the next production meeting.

Save time with reporting

Production Reporting provides your team with integrated and pre-populated reports pulled from multiple data sources. This allows you to easily track and report production KPIs such as budget vs actual. 

Bring all of your plant's data together in one place with the MPA software suite

Choose the apps you’d like to get started with. Mipac will set up your MPA suite based on the plant processes and integrate it with your existing systems to get you up and running.

What our customers have to say about Mipac’s MPA suite of applications

James Sweeney, Project Metallrgust, Northern Star Resources Limited, Pogo Operations, Alaska
“I tried to calculate the benefit based on percent improvement in time savings, but it is not possible to divide by zero! With Logsheets, we no longer spend ANY time maintaining our Logsheet system.”
Mark Pliska
Processing Manager, Pogo Operations Alaska Northern Star Resources Limited
"Northern Star Resources Pogo worked with Mipac at Pogo on the digitisation of the operator logsheets into the MPA system and are extremely pleased with the results. Mipac went above and beyond to accommodate specific feature requests that were not yet included in MPA and were very helpful in putting the vision of the logsheets to paper (pardon the pun). Mipac’s quick responses and attention to detail have made the roll-out seamless, saving time for operations and the met team on a daily basis, while also allowing for the plant data to now be live-monitored by the team. The benefits from MPA were realised immediately."
Yuanbin Qin
Senior Metallurgist
Newmont Merian
"Working with Mipac was a real pleasure. We worked as a team and were able to achieve great results for our daily production reporting. We saw significant benefits with our reporting, data visualisation and data security. I would recommend Mipac to anyone."
Lyndah Brown, Process Improvement Manager, Ok Tedi
"Of the initial strategies we implemented, 67% of the actions served as key enablers for the current improvements. These results reflect three and a half years of dedicated work. I’m happy to say that the stable and automated operations leave us time now to actually concentrate on improvements, and that has been enhanced by the digital maturity that we’ve arrived at."

FAQs

Our solutions can be implemented in as little as two weeks.   

The implementation timeframe of our solutions can vary depending on several factors such as the complexity of the existing processes, which application is being deployed and whether there is existing infrastructure in place. If a like-for-like implementation is required, such as moving from Excel to MPA for the logsheet application, the implementation can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks once the base system is set up. For more complex projects, such as automating your production reporting, the timeline typically ranges from 12 to 16 weeks depending on the number of reports to be developed.

It’s important to note that the exact duration will depend on the specific requirements of each project.

If you don’t already have an MPA Server installed, we would require a virtual or physical server, ideally with Windows Server 2019. We would require administrator access to the server to install the pre-requisite software and configure MPA for connection to your plant data.

You will require an AVEVA PI historian with a PI AF (Asset Framework) server. If you don’t have AF setup yet Mipac can assist with this too. In order for MPA to connect to AVEVA PI, you require the PSA (PI System Access) licence. Mipac can support you with obtaining the licence, or you can liaise directly with your AVEVA account manager.

Working with your IT group, Mipac would also require a service account to access the PI Data Archive and PI AF Server.

No, it is not mandatory to have AVEVA PI to utilise our applications. While some of our applications do utilise AVEVA PI AF capabilities, we also offer integration options that allow direct connectivity to other common data sources within your operation. These can include your historian, control system, alarm database, or Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).

Our goal is to seamlessly integrate with your existing systems and provide flexible options for data integration. We encourage you to reach out to us to discuss how you can leverage MPA’s capabilities and explore the best solution that aligns with your specific requirements.

We understand that different customers have different support needs, which is why we offer two levels of support. Our standard support package is designed for customers who need basic support, while our premium support package is ideal for customers with more complex needs or customised solutions.

Standard support provides access to our knowledgeable support team for assistance with any software-related issues you may encounter. Standard support covers typical software application issues such as bugs and incidents. Standard support will be available during normal business hours.

Premium support offers access to expertise for complex issues that may require specialised knowledge supporting application or infrastructure problems. Premium support can be tailored to the size and complexity of the installed system and the desired response timeframe.
