ABB's solution for metallurgical accounting offers a true and integrated solution for day-to-day and monthly production accounting in the mineral processing industry.
Knowledge Manager’s Metallurgical Accountant module is a full production accounting add-on, developed to solve the specific requirements of the mineral processing industry.
Metallurgical Accountant transforms accumulated process data, as flow rates and assays, into coherent information, ready for production reporting and performance indication. Developed by Algosys, Metallurgical Accountant ensures full coherency of available data while improving data quality through a reconciliation process of mass balancing. The reconciliation is handled by Bilmat, Algosys’ powerful mass balancing engine. Once coherency is achieved with Metallurgical Accountant, the data becomes difficult to dispute.
With Metallurgical Accountant, every source of data in a plant is used, validated and improved, and contributes added value to published information. Measurements that are often acquired at high costs with on-line sensors and analyzers, or sophisticated laboratory equipment are used to their full extent.
Knowledge Manager with the Metallurgical Accountant module is an innovative solution which fulfills the requirements of coherent and fluid information flows throughout large and modern operations.
Accessing the high value information contained in Metallurgical Accountant is very simple. Authorized personnel can access metallurgical accounting reports, production reports, mass balance results, performance indicators, etc. These can also be automatically e-mailed to the decision makers of the organization. Authorized users can drill down into each of the results to consult the data hierarchy, the calculations and the input data that produced the particular result.
The strength of Metallurgical Accountant in a Knowledge Manager environment is the full and true integration of all production and laboratory data: a single user interface, a single database, a single configuration tool, and so on. Through integration, contextual information is derived and maintained, enriching the overall value of collected data to present relevant and meaningful information.
With Knowledge Manager’s Metallurgical Accountant module, metallurgical accounting and production reporting effort is reduced from several hours, or days, to minutes. Information reliability and availability is maximized.
