Ore Traceability
Know what each pile holds and which grade goes to the mill, from the tags read on your conveyors.
The problem it solves
Once the ore is in a pile, its grade is a guess.
Ore from several benches is stacked and reclaimed, and the mill only learns its grade from the assays, hours later.
When the assays miss the plan, nobody can say whether the pile, the tags or a belt scale is wrong.
1 · Read The tags read on each conveyor, from the benches to the mill.
2 · Stacked Each pile’s tonnes and grades, by its model.
3 · Opened A pile’s layers, the oldest first, coloured by grade.
4 · Reconciled The planned, estimated and assayed grades, day by day.
What it does
-
Your circuit, drawn
The sources, the crusher, the conveyors with their detector (RFID) and belt scale, the piles and the mill, read through your AVEVA CONNECT. Each pile shows its tonnes, average grade, model and how full it is.
-
Four pile models
FIFO, LIFO, full mix or layered, from a day. Try another model on a pile to see it replayed; nothing is saved until an administrator changes it.
-
Each pile in detail
Its layers, the oldest first, its composition by source and by tag, what goes out now, and its tonnes and grade at the end of each day.
-
The mill’s feed
The tonnes sent to the mill today, their rate now and their grade estimated from the tags, by source.
-
Accountability
By day or by week: the plan’s grade, the grade estimated from the tags, and the laboratory’s assays, with their differences.
-
What the replay noticed
A belt scale without tonnes, a detector without tags, a pile reclaimed while empty, a mill feed without assays. On request, the AI sums up the circuit in a few lines.
Who uses it
- Geologists and grade control teams who follow the ore from the benches.
- Metallurgists who reconcile the mill feed with the assays.
- Mine planners who compare what reached the mill with the plan.
