What is ABB Ability™ MineOptimize?

ABB Ability™ MineOptimize in practice

World’s most cost-effective mines
Know more, do more, do better, together
Expertise at each stage of mining lifecycle
Engineering
The mining company Boliden had an ambitious plan for Garpenberg, one of the oldest mines in Sweden. In addition to expanding it, they also wanted to modernize it for the digital era

Systems
Our distributed control system integrates data from all critical functions, such as water management, crushers, conveyor belts, skip loading, concentrator and pumping stations into one seamless, efficient operation

Applications
A new smart ventilation system now recognizes the location of people and vehicles in the mine and delivers fresh air on demand, increasing safety and maximizing efficiency

Services
Round-the-clock remote monitoring services provide access to real time data about mission-critical equipment. Engineers now have the ability to make predictive maintenance decisions, before something goes wrong

Engineering
The mining company Vale had an ambitious plan in the Carajás mountains of northern Brazil. In addition to a major capacity expansion, build a sustainable mine of the future in the Amazon

Systems
Our integrated electrification and automation systems enables a truckless system transport the iron ore from mine into the process plant. With lower carbon emissions, reduced operating costs and greater safety than the truck-based

Applications
A new condition monitoring system now monitors the health of production, electrical and mechanical assets in the process plant, reducing maintenance costs while improve equipment reliability and reduce unplanned shut-downs

Services
A new ABB Service Center in Carajás with workshop, parts inventory and a remote diagnostic for monitoring and carrying out preventive actions. Being close-by site and taking action immediately avoid costly production interruptions

In the world disrupted by digital technologies, successful mining companies set the vision for the future and for empowering their employees. They combine operational excellence and innovation to quickly respond to and make the most of the changes. Together with our customers and partners like Microsoft, IBM and others, we apply proven solutions and constantly create new ones - to bring real improvements to people, help them develop new skills and discover better operational modes.
