Smart Automation in the Mining and Cement Processing Industry

ABB Drive Systems and Energy Optimization Empowering Industrial Upgrades

ABB has long been a major player in the mining and cement sectors, providing comprehensive solutions in electrification, drive systems, and process automation. Its ACS880 variable speed drives and Gearless Mill Drive (GMD) technology are widely used in ore crushing and grinding applications. For example, at Codelco’s copper mine in Chile, ABB’s GMD system increased grinding efficiency by 10% and significantly reduced maintenance costs.

In the cement industry, ABB’s Ability™ Expert Optimizer is applied to kiln control and combustion optimization. By using real-time data analytics, it helps plants reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Plants equipped with the system have reported a 3–5% reduction in energy use and around a 4% decrease in CO₂ emissions.

Schneider Electric and Siemens: Building Intelligent Mining and Cement Operations

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.

Rockwell Automation: Data-Driven Intelligence in Mining and Cement Plants

Rockwell Automation’s PlantPAx® Distributed Control System (DCS) and FactoryTalk® Analytics platform are widely adopted in both mining and cement manufacturing for equipment monitoring, process optimization, and maintenance management. In a large-scale iron ore project in Australia, Rockwell’s automation system enabled intelligent scheduling of mining trucks and conveyor systems, increasing equipment utilization by more than 15%.

In the cement industry, Rockwell collaborated with Holcim to deploy a digital plant solution that leveraged real-time analytics to reduce production variability and implement predictive maintenance — achieving an average 12% reduction in annual maintenance costs.
