Metso Metrics Monitoring
About Metso Metrics Monitoring
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.
The platform is available at two service tiers: Level 1 provides online visibility into equipment health, performance dashboards, and automated alerts; Level 2 adds more extensive analytics with active support from Metso Performance Centers staffed by domain experts using advanced data analytics tools. More than 10 mines worldwide use Metrics with over 1,000 connected IIoT devices. Multiple deployments have demonstrated avoidance of hundreds of thousands of dollars in unplanned downtime costs.
Note that Metso Metrics is equipment-specific — it monitors Metso machinery only, not a general-purpose mining analytics platform. This makes it most relevant for operations already running Metso crushers and processing equipment.

AVEVA PI System
by AVEVA
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
by AVEVA
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
by AVEVA
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.
BeltMetrics Gen 2
by Motion Metrics
BeltMetrics Gen 2 provides continuous, non-contact particle size analysis on conveyor belts using stereo imaging and deep learning. It optimises crusher feed, detects empty belts indicating blocked chutes, measures transported material volume, and provides load profiling. As a critical mine-to-mill measurement point, BeltMetrics data in MetricsManager Pro closes the loop between blast fragmentation and processing plant feed.
