With increasing pressure on commodities producers to extract the most value from every ton of ore while keeping costs contained, coupled with the trend for improved environmental governance, mine & mill operators are looking to their data to show the way. Time Series AI can provide a path to achieve these goals at a fraction of the cost of new capital equipment or instrumentation.

Falkonry’s automate AI solution enables your existing team of metallurgists & maintenance engineers to discover, explain & predict behaviors using existing operational data, so that they can uncover high value use cases on their own.

Challenge

Avoid lost production from asset downtime

Challenge

Remotely monitor all the assets

Challenge

Increase mineral recovery and concentration

Use cases

Use Case
Use Case

Crusher

Use Case

Crusher

  • Problem

    Mills incur high cost in lost production due to preventive maintenance (PM) cycles.

  • Solution

    Use equipment signals to understand current equipment condition, & schedule maintenance only as-needed.

  • Benefits

    Increase mill production uptime by reducing unnecessary maintenance periods & converting preventive to predictive maintenance.

Use Case

Vertical mill

Use Case

Vertical mill

  • Problem

    Fluctuations in ore grade causes blockage in mill & results in work stoppage.

  • Solution

    Discover patterns in operational data associated with material variations & provide alerts.

  • Benefits

    Early warning allows suspect material to be tracked, grinding speed to be adjusted & downtime avoided.

Use Case

Ore grading

Use Case

Ore grading

  • Problem

    Concentration & recovery targets are missed as operators react to changes in incoming ore composition.

  • Solution

    Analyze data from composition assay to classify ore into groups. Correlate these groups to best operating conditions.

  • Benefits

    Proactively set process parameters to match incoming ore, increasing time that circuit operates on target.

What our customers say

“The Falkonry system was able to leverage existing time series data from our Sierra Gorda mining operations & in less than a few weeks we were generating valuable insights that can improve our operations. The intuitive end-user interface required little training & could easily be used by our own operations team.”

Takashi Onda

General Manager of Sierra Gorda Project, Sumitomo Corporation
