Example

A Data-driven Performance Analytics engagement at a crushing operation identified opportunities to improve crusher efficiency and reduce downstream energy consumption. Continuous monitoring, analysis, and optimization recommendations helped the customer capture approximately USD 238,000 in value over six months while establishing a sustained improvement program.

Frequently asked questions

Process performance analytics uses operational data, analytical methods and process expertise to identify performance gaps, bottlenecks and opportunities to improve throughput, recovery and efficiency.

It is a continuous, expert-led service that combines analytics, remote monitoring and Metso process and equipment expertise to identify and prioritize operational improvement opportunities.

Performance losses can be associated with the way equipment is operated, interactions between assets, process bottlenecks or operation outside an effective range. Analytics helps reveal patterns that are difficult to see from individual measurements alone.

Condition monitoring focuses on equipment condition and potential failures. Data-driven Performance Analytics evaluates how equipment is used in operation and how effectively it contributes to the performance of the wider process.

Data-driven Performance Analytics identifies and prioritizes performance improvement opportunities through advanced analytics and expert interpretation. Advanced Process Control automatically adjusts process operation in real time to maintain performance within defined objectives and constraints. Together, they create a continuous improvement cycle: Data-driven Performance Analytics helps identify where performance can be improved, while Advanced Process Control helps capture and sustain those improvements in day-to-day operation.

Together, they help mineral processing operations improve throughput, recovery, energy efficiency, and overall process performance.

It is a continuous expert-led service that combines analytics, remote or on-site performance monitoring and Metso expertise.

Operational data is analyzed together with process context and equipment knowledge to compare actual performance, identify gaps and determine where changes could improve results. Agentic AI is used to identify anomalies and improvement opportunities quickly from large volumes of operational data.

The service can support improvements in areas such as throughput, recovery, energy efficiency, equipment use and sustained process performance, depending on the process and identified opportunity.

The initial service scope includes selected process islands such as crushing, grinding, filtration and analyzers and is gradually extended to cover the entire minerals processing and metals refining flowsheet.

The service continuously monitors performance, communicates prioritized recommendations and follows progress over time, helping operations turn individual findings into sustained improvements.
