Metso
Global process technology and equipment company for minerals processing and metals refining, with digital twins and predictive maintenance analytics.
About Metso
Metso is a global leader in process technology, equipment, and services for the minerals processing, aggregates, and metals refining industries. The company was formed through the 2020 merger of Metso Minerals and Outotec, operated as Metso Outotec until rebranding to simply Metso in May 2023, and relocated its headquarters from Helsinki to Espoo in September 2023. With annual sales exceeding EUR 5 billion and operations in 50+ countries, Metso is one of the largest companies in the mining technology space.
In data and analytics, Metso offers digital solutions that leverage its deep domain expertise in minerals processing. The flagship Geminex digital twin combines real-time operational data with Metso's proprietary HSC Chemistry simulation models (20,000+ users worldwide) and machine learning, while the Metrics Monitoring platform provides cloud-based predictive maintenance for Metso equipment. Key mining clients include Dundee Precious Metals (Ada Tepe), Codelco (Gabriela Mistral), and Newmont (Lihir). Metso opened a Digital Design and Development Studio in Krakow, Poland in 2024 to accelerate software development.

Sorted alphabeticallyHSC Chemistry
by Metso
HSC Chemistry stands for H (enthalpy), S (entropy), and Cp (heat capacity). The software combines versatile chemical, thermodynamic, and mineral-processing features in a single package with 24 calculation modules connected to 12 integrated databases. Key modules include equilibrium calculations, heat and mass balance, Eh-pH diagrams, phase stability diagrams, and mineral processing simulation.
Metso Geminex
by Metso
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 Monitoring
by Metso
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.
