We transform real-time data into actionable insights using AVEVA PI System, historians, and visualisation tools. Our data analytics services enable predictive maintenance, root cause analysis, and performance optimisation. By integrating data sources and creating intuitive dashboards, we help clients make informed decisions to improve productivity and ROI in complex operations.
Process Optimisation
Mipac optimises mining processes through advanced control strategies, metallurgical accounting audits, and automation feasibility studies. We identify bottlenecks, enhance recovery rates, and reduce energy consumption. Our holistic approach combines process and automation expertise to deliver sustainable improvements aligned with client goals and budgets.
Asset Performance Management
Our APM solutions maximise uptime and minimise costs using predictive and prescriptive maintenance. Partnering with Aspen Mtell, we monitor asset health, optimise maintenance planning, and ensure compliance with safety standards. This reduces unplanned downtime and extends asset lifespans for mining and processing operations.
