How Metso increased plant stability through intelligent instruments and analytics

Sense-series sensors and vision feed APC in grinding and flotation. Less variability means more throughput and recovery.

Context

Manual adjustments to flotation resulted in variability and lost recovery. Operators struggled to maintain stable performance due to rapidly changing conditions.

Solution

Instrumented vision and analytics were integrated with APC systems to automate the control of key flotation parameters. The solution responds dynamically to visual and process indicators.

Results

The plant achieved higher throughput and recovery along with reduced variability. Automated adjustments improved consistency throughout the circuit.

Data Inputs

Cameras, acoustic sensors, process signals
