How does dynamic set point optimisation enable mine operations to increase productivity?

Dynamic set point optimization (DSO) is a technique that uses advanced algorithms to continuously adjust the process control set points in real-time to maximize the efficiency and productivity of a mining operation. DSO enables mine operations to increase productivity in several ways:

  1. Optimized Equipment Performance: DSO can help optimize the performance of mining equipment by adjusting the process control set points based on real-time data from sensors and other sources. By optimizing the equipment performance, DSO can increase the throughput and efficiency of the mining operation, which leads to higher productivity.
  2. Improved Mineral Recovery: DSO can also help improve the recovery of minerals by adjusting the process control set points to maximize the extraction of valuable minerals from the ore. This can lead to higher yields and improved productivity.
  3. Reduced Energy Consumption: DSO can help reduce energy consumption by optimizing the process control set points to minimize the energy required to operate the mining equipment. By reducing energy consumption, mining operations can lower their costs and increase their profitability.
  4. Real-Time Monitoring: DSO enables real-time monitoring of the mining operation, which allows operators to identify and address issues quickly. This can help reduce downtime and improve the overall efficiency of the mining operation, which leads to higher productivity.

Overall, DSO enables mine operations to optimize their processes and improve their efficiency, which can lead to higher productivity and profitability. By continuously adjusting the process control set points based on real-time data, DSO can help mining operations achieve their production targets and maximize their return on investment.
