Weir Minerals and AVEVA have signed a digital business framework for strategic cooperation.
Weir Minerals will utilise the AVEVA PI System to collect, contextualise and analyse data streams, which will become the data foundation of its Synertrex digital ecosystem. Along with AVEVA Data Hub, a cloud-native hub for aggregating and contextualizing on-premises and remote data, this will offer the mining industry a unique solution for securely connecting mining operators with Weir Minerals as an OEM.
The business model will provide a variety of flexible integration solutions – from on-premises to cloud – that will make it easier for miners to integrate with the Weir Minerals’ Synertrex digital ecosystem. It uses a secure and simplified approach to access and share real-time and historical operations data.
These shared ecosystems will provide miners and Weir Minerals with full data transparency and an easy-to-access, real-time 360-degree view of all Synertrex-enabled equipment and processes. They will also be the basis of the further development of digital twins and predictive algorithms, which will provide decision-makers with recommended actions and real-time decision support. This will lead to less power and water consumption and extended equipment life.
