ABB helps mining and materials operations improve site efficiency, optimize mine-to-mill performance, and gain greater operational visibility. With a phased approach designed around production continuity, you can improve performance while minimizing disruption and risk.
In the Garpenberg mine, ABB worked with Boliden to implement a range of smart, digital solutions. Hundreds of motors, drives, and other pieces of equipment have been digitally connected. A central control room coordinates all activity remotely and efficiently, while big data analysis streamlines efficiency and helps predict maintenance
