Optimizing Operations Across Your Mine
Sep 15, 2014
Extract more value at every stage of your mining operation. Our smart, safe and sustainable production solutions automate mines and processes to increase throughput and lower operating costs – from your extraction site through your processing plant.
Delivering Dependable, Flexible Control
Integrated Architecture™, based on the Logix platform, supports demanding, continuous, discrete and motion applications, while Intelligent Motor Control devices help protect assets and improve motor performance and energy efficiency.
Smart, Safe, Sustainable Production Solutions
Around the world, we are optimizing mining operations by:
• Increasing personnel safety with autonomous mining solutions and remote control and monitoring of equipment and processes
• Increasing mineral yield and minimizing process variability through advanced Model Predictive Control (MPC)
• Optimizing energy use and reducing mechanical equipment wear and tear
• Helping to ensure a cleaner, safer environment through continuous monitoring and automated reporting to comply with environmental standards
Mine-Wide Optimization: Extraction
Whether open pit or underground, continuous excavation requires relentless, dependable control and flexibility.
Mine-Wide Optimization: Transportation & Conveyance
Materials conveyance demands sturdy transport systems capable of traveling several meters – or several kilometers.
Our extraction solutions deliver dependable, flexible control.
Mine-Wide Optimization: Crushing and Grinding
Losing production time to equipment failure is not an option. Condition monitoring allows your crushing and grinding operation to establish predictive maintenance, real-time protection and application surveillance.
Mine-Wide Optimization: Leaching & Flotation
In leaching and flotation, maximum efficiency drives maximum return. The XT Extreme Environment helps lower maintenance costs while improving machine reliability
Mine-Wide Optimization: Control Room
Monitor and control your mine form the inside out with PlantPAx™ Process Automation System. PlantPAx allows you to continually configure and control your operation.
