Mining Plant Advisory

Real-time operational intelligence for safer, smarter, and more efficient mining.

Overview

A global mining operator needed a unified **Plant Advisory System** to monitor critical equipment, detect process deviations, and reduce unplanned downtime. Mehtalogy became their **Technology Partner**, designing and building a scalable IIoT and analytics-driven advisory platform that integrates data from multiple sources and enables real-time decision-making.

Challenges

  • Disparate PLCs and devices across multiple mining lines
  • No unified visibility into asset health or plant conditions
  • High downtime due to late detection of anomalies
  • Need for secure, scalable, cloud-ready architecture
  • Demand for edge-level computing where connectivity is unreliable

Solution Delivered

Mehtalogy designed an end-to-end **Mining Plant Advisory Platform** powered by IIoT, edge services, and cloud-native microservices.

Unified IIoT Layer

Standardized data ingestion from PLCs, sensors, and industrial machinery using MQTT, OPC-UA, and industrial connectors.

Real-Time Advisory Engine

Intelligent rule engine to detect process deviations, predict issues, and alert operators in real time.

Edge + Cloud Architecture

Compute at edge for fast response; cloud for storage, analytics, and cross-site visibility.

Interactive Operator Dashboards

Live plant views, advisory notifications, KPIs, and compliance summaries.

High-Level Architecture

  • IIoT Edge Device Gateways
  • MQTT / OPC-UA data ingestion pipeline
  • Cloud microservices (Azure / AKS)
  • Time-series storage + analytics
  • Advisory rule engine and notifications
  • Operations dashboards for plant managers

Impact Delivered

↓ Downtime

Earlier anomaly detection reduced equipment failures.

↑ Operational Safety

Real-time warnings improved operator response time.

Unified Visibility

Complete plant overview across multiple mining lines.
