Performance Center for mining Outputs - Three levels of insight

Three service levels

Performance Centers - Hubs for all remote digital services

Connecting equipment, processes, people, and technology, our new Performance Centers feature:   

  • State-of-the-art facilities custom-built for collaboration
  • The highest level of applied cybersecurity
  • The capabilities to complement and amplify the performance of other Metso services and products

Our ability to provide reliable proactive services and to resolve issues efficiently is based on connecting our team of experts. It all comes together with three levels of support: 

Tier 1 support - Local support and field services

Connected equipment for optimized Life Cycle Services

Technical support teams and field service engineers close to our customers are available to resolve your issues and to deliver on-site services if required.

Tier 2 support - Performance centers

Measure, monitor, optimize critical data and KPI’s

Equipment, process, and technology engineers monitor your real-time data. They identify trends, derive insights, and alert the team when issues arise. At that time, they can provide immediate remote assistance for speedy problem analysis and resolution.

Tier 3 support - Global network

Building smart equipment and benchmark from the ever-increasing global connected installed base

Our global network of reliability engineers, field service, and equipment experts benchmark issues and will support long-term solution development.

Crusher overloading detected

Challenge

The customer was at risk for severe bushing damage fo their crusher due to high power overload events.

Solution

Analysis showed power draw set points were out of range.  The customer was instructed to revert back to recommended parameter values.

Result

The customer onsite team followed the given instructions and costly damage to the bushing was averted.

Early detection of a hydraulic problem

Challenge

A hydraulic leak was progressively getting worse and approaching a point where the equipment would have to be brought to a complete stop.

Solution

The leak was detected by predictive analytics prior to being detected by the local control system.  The customer was given instructions on how to solve the issue.

Result

The onsite team followed the instructions and fices issue without causing additional downtime.

Monitoring helped present foundation damage

Challenge

One corner of the customer's crusher showed abnormal vibration amplitude and frequency.

Solution

The customer was instructed to inspect the crusher based on abnormal measurements.

Result

The crusher was shut down for inspection and an issue with the installation was confirmed.  Due to the early detection, costly and time-consuming foundation damage was prevented and rectified saving costs.

Cloth failure detection

Challenge

A hole in the cloth was detected which was causing premature wear due to slurry leakage.

Solution

The hole was detected by a remote service engineer through data analysis and the finding was communicated to the customer

Result

The customer inspected the filter and confirmed the finding.  Because of the early detection, premature wear was limited/avoided and unplanned downtime was reduced.

Courier accuracy and reliability improved

Challenge

The customer's production performance was heavily dependent on the accuracy and availability of their Courier.

Solution

Metso Metrics for the Courier was integrated with a larger analyzer LCS to establish continuous and holistic support.

Result

The Courier availability was 97-99% for more than 24 months, increased recovery* based on accurate online data.

*Achieving a recovery increase of e.g. 0.5% can result in an additional profit of 3.5MUSD

(example based on assumed copper processing with a production throughput of 1000t/h, a head grade of 1%, a market price of 3.5USD/lb, a recovery rate of 85%, and AISC 2USD/lb)
