Industrial Automation - its in our DNA

Tailored automation solutions: quality, value and customisation

We design our automation and control solutions with a dual focus on quality and value. Our approach is built on established design and development methodologies, carefully crafted to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.  

Recognising that each project is distinct, whether a comprehensive turnkey endeavour or minor system adjustments, we acknowledge the distinctive challenges inherent to various industries. As a result, we customise our solutions to align with their requirements and objectives precisely.  

Pioneering independent automation solutions across all platforms

As a leading independent automation solutions provider, we specialise in delivering best-in-class solutions across all major automation technology platforms.  

Working with any technology, operational environments, and incumbent infrastructure, our control systems engineers draw on our unmatched knowledge of third-party products, including Schneider Electric, Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Yokogawa and Inductive Automation. 

Selecting across leading vendors including Siemens, Schneider, Rockwell and Yokogawa

A focus on challenging resource environments

Operating within mine sites and processing operations is no walk in the park. High pressure, isolation, potential hazards, and continuous operation characterise these environments. In such demanding settings, there’s little room for error. This is why you require intelligent, dependable, automated control and safety solutions that guarantee reliability.  

With our extensive background in the mining, minerals and metals sector, Mipac delivers precisely what you require exactly when you need it—your assurance of control and safety in the most challenging resource environments.  

Industrial Automation in challenging environments

At Mipac our Industrial Automation teams specialise in:

Improve quality, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability with control systems designed to optimise your operations.

At Mipac, we recognise that the foundational layer of control systems, primarily PID controllers, serves as the bedrock for efficient operations in mineral processing, power plants, and various industrial processes.  

The journey towards operational excellence commences with the enhancement of these base layer controls. This journey involves crafting optimal control structures and fine-tuning them post-implementation, marking pivotal phases.  

Once the base layer controllers are finely optimised, the next strategic move is the implementation of an Advanced Process Control (APC) system. This advanced system is designed to propel your unit towards optimal operating points, enabling the maximisation of throughput, minimisation of energy consumption, consistency in product quality, or a tailored combination of these objectives.
