Mining Process Control & IoT Monitoring Systems Zimbabwe
Safety, efficiency, profit
Safety, efficiency and profitability on a mine depend on good processes working alongside high quality data.
Mines often rely on enormous amounts of manual data recording that is prone to human error and outright dishonesty and laziness.
Moreover, data is often stored in many different places in an inconsistent way, leading to information loss, and error resulting from
data not being consistent and standardised.
Effective process control is often limited by data availability and quality: Machine service-schedules are poorly timed, or reactive
rather than preventative. Different departments share a common power supply leading to an internal "tragedy of the commons"
Processes are manually controlled, leading to inconsistency in outcome.
The solution
Our mining SCADA product allows a large number of processes to be measured and controlled, giving senior management total
visibility on a mining operation. Data is aggregated We know that not
all processes can be automated, which is why we build custom data capture procedures that allow automated data to be
combined with manual data.
All data is aggregated using long range radio frequencies over distances of up to 5km. That means no cables for
trucks or people to accidentally damage.
We know that mining information can be sensitive. Our online system allows selective visibility depending on a user's role. This
means people only see on the system what is relevant to their task and nothing else.
Water
Water is central to almost every mining operation, from dewatering and process water
to dust suppression and tailings management. Our industrial water product addresses the
full life cycle of these real-world water problems.
That means measuring flow from every source (eg. borehole, dam, river, municipal) and
quantifying it accurately, monitoring pressure across the network, and tracking quality
parameters such as pH, conductivity and chlorination in real time.
And since water is not a stand-alone issue, our water systems speak to (and integrate
with) the rest of your process control and energy management.

Processes
Some types of mine are process-heavy.
Our gold elution clients, for example, use our SCADA system to maximise their gold production.
Ryzosens systems monitor and regulate flow rates, temperature, pressure and amps and volts
(during electrowinning).
But there's more. We can integrate manual systems with automated ones to make sure you get the best of both
worlds in a single reporting framework.
Gold is but one example. What are you mining and what are your core process control requirements? Get hold of us

Energy
Energy management on a mine has a few complexities.
We help you monitor different fuel types and use them to keep your operation running optimally
by load-balancing fuels as they're required. This means using mains, generator and solar
in the most intelligent way to make sure you don't spend more than you need to.
Keep track of which vehicles use the most fuel with our diesel-level sensors.
Accurately track energy consumption so you can pinpoint theft, inefficiency
and maintenance issues.
Whatever your needs, you'll be surprised what we can do for you.

Machines
Our environmental monitoring covers the ability to measure and operate machines.
With our control box you can turn on and off machines, tweak variable speed drives (VSDs),
adjust temperature controllers (PIDs) and even get maintenance alerts when the vibrational
signature of a machine changes.
Worried about diesel theft? Track the GPS coordinates and diesel consumption
of your vehicles and identify losses and unusual vehicle activity.
