PROCESS CONTROL integrating it with Mtell enables continuous analysis of process and condition-based data , empowering decision-makers to take proactive measures before failures occur . Mtell analyses historical and real-time data to predict equipment failures . Integrated with Emerson ' s AMS Device Manager and AMS Machine Works , it
delivers precise asset health predictions , minimising unplanned downtime .”
Seamless data exchange between platforms ensures that insights from one solution inform actions in the other , optimsing maintenance schedules , reducing unnecessary activities , and enhancing operational efficiency in mineral processing . “ The combined solution is flexible and scalable , addressing diverse industry needs , whether managing critical assets , entire sites , or multiple sites at an enterprise level . Mtell ' s analytics , coupled with AMS data acquisition sources , provide profound insights for informed , data-driven decisions in mineral processing .”
He concludes : “ The user-friendly interfaces of AMS software , enriched by Mtell ' s predictive insights , facilitates understanding and action . Together , these solutions empower mineral processing organizations to maximise asset reliability , reduce costs , bolster safety , and make informed decisions about critical assets .”
Weir acquires SentianAI
Weir Group recently acquired Sweden-based
SentianAI in a move that , it says , will accelerate its technology roadmap and expand its digital capability to provide enhanced productivity and sustainability offerings to customers . SentianAI is a developer of artificial intelligence-based solutions that optimise performance in minerals processing . Founded in 2016 , it is based in Malmö and has a team of software developers and data scientists .
The software that SentianAI develops uses advanced AI algorithms that continuously learn and adapt to the dynamic processes within a mine , providing continuous improvement and optimisation over time , Weir says . Jon Stanton , CEO of The Weir Group , said : “ Digital technology has an important role in helping address the challenges of declining ore grades , production efficiency and CO 2 emissions for our customers . SentianAI ’ s advanced software solutions complement and will bridge our Synertrex ® and Motion Metrics™ technologies well . Together , these will enable us to provide holistic performance monitoring and optimisation for smart , efficient and sustainable mining .”
IN 2023 , SentianAI and Xore Analyzers formed a strategic cooperation to combine XORE ’ s XRF analysers , which provide real-time data on metal content , with SentianAI ’ s machine-learning technology , which adapts to variations in ore properties . The pact , SentianAI says , could allow mining operations to improve their recovery rates and overall efficiency .
IM interviewed SentianAI Founder and CEO Martin Rugfelt in 2022 on its technology and approach . He said it already had a flotation project targeting increase of recovery rate but also the stabilisation of the circuit performance . It was also working on optimising a crushing and grinding circuit with the primary goal of an increase in throughput .
When asked how its approach differed to other AI approaches in industry he commented : “ A lot of the ‘ traditional ’ AI systems we see are actually AI toolkits / platforms that are sold on the basis that the customer can create AI logic that they need to solve specific problems without having to understand the detailed data science . Unfortunately , without knowledge of the underlying AI and data science , creating AI for complex systems eg control processes is very difficult . As a result , many ‘ traditional ’ AI systems are abandoned after purchase . Sentian has taken a different approach . Our SentianController is explicitly designed to optimise control of industrial processes , so when customers buy it , they already have the AI algorithms developed and tested for the complexity of control system optimisation . It is effectively a point solution that means you do not need a large data science team to build and run the AI solution .”
He added on the underlying technology : “ SentianAI has worked for many years to select
