Data & Analytics Platforms Software

AVEVA PI System (formerly OSIsoft PI System) is the dominant operations data management platform in heavy industry, deployed across 14,000+ sites in 127 countries. In mining, PI System serves as the system of record for all operational data — ingesting time-series data from process control systems, remote sensors, IIoT devices, and SCADA systems via hundreds of native connectivity options. Core components include PI Server (data archive and asset framework), PI Vision (browser-based visualisation dashboards), PI DataLink (Excel integration for ad-hoc analysis), Asset Analytics (streaming calculations), and Event Frames (contextual event capture for batch operations and shift reporting).

AVEVA Predictive Analytics uses machine learning to continuously monitor critical mining assets — crushers, mills, conveyors, pumps, and rotating equipment — learning normal operating patterns from PI System data and flagging anomalous behaviour before it results in unplanned downtime. The system builds digital profiles of healthy equipment operation and alerts maintenance teams when actual performance deviates from expected behaviour, providing lead time for planned intervention.

AVEVA Unified Operations Center (UOC) provides a comprehensive visualisation and situational awareness platform that integrates data from SCADA, PI System, ERP, and other business applications into a single enterprise-wide view. For mining, this means real-time visibility across extraction, processing, transport, and logistics — enabling collaborative decision-making and rapid response to operational events.

Geminex is Metso's metallurgical digital twin platform, launched in March 2022 and winner of the Mining Magazine 2022 Software Award. It combines operational data from plant sensors and external sources with Metso's proprietary HSC first-principle process models — dynamic simulations calibrated with live plant data and continuously refined by machine learning algorithms. Unlike purely data-driven approaches, Geminex uses mechanistic models of physical and chemical processes, meaning it can produce reliable predictions even in operating regimes not previously encountered.

Metso Metrics is a cloud-based predictive maintenance and asset optimisation platform built on the Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Cloud infrastructure and powered by Microsoft Azure. First launched in 2017 for aggregates and subsequently expanded to mining, it collects data from sensors embedded within Metso equipment — primary gyratory crushers, cone crushers, vibrating screens, and mills — and transmits it to the cloud for analysis.

MI Core is the foundational product of the Metallurgical Intelligence suite — a full plant digital twin that connects directly to source data systems and performs dynamic plant-wide mass and energy balance calculations every hour. The platform monitors inventory changes over time using machine learning, provides automated production reporting, tracks ESG emissions (Scope 1/2/3), and supports unlimited data source integration. MI Core V6 introduced parallel processing for 90% faster data import and 80% faster calculations.

MI Process Optimiser sits on top of MI Core, capturing data from millions of data points across the plant to identify optimum processing conditions using machine learning. The system handles time-lag dependencies (critical in minerals processing where cause and effect are often separated by hours), non-linear calculations, and multi-variable optimisation. It continuously learns plant operating patterns and compares theoretical optimal conditions against actual performance, quantifying the gap and recommending adjustments.

MineOne is a comprehensive digital platform that unifies data and workflows across the entire mining value chain. Rather than replacing existing systems, it integrates with third-party hardware and software — SCADA, PLCs, ERP, fleet management, CMMS — and presents a consolidated view through real-time 2D/3D dashboards, digital twins, and mobile field apps. Modules cover production management, fleet and asset tracking, workforce safety, environmental compliance, fuel management, and predictive maintenance.
