Schneider Electric, through its EcoStruxure™ Industrial IoT platform, provides integrated solutions for energy management and safety in mining operations. At Anglo American’s mining sites in South Africa, Schneider’s smart power distribution and remote monitoring systems enable centralized energy management and fault prediction, effectively minimizing downtime risks.
Siemens, on the other hand, leverages its SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system and Minesight digital twin platform to deliver end-to-end digitalized control for mining and cement production lines. At Lafarge Cement, Siemens’ automation solutions improved kiln temperature precision and optimized energy performance, resulting in more stable clinker quality and about 6% lower energy consumption.
