1.5% Copper Recovery Increase

With Seeq, Caserones' mine is providing its engineers with a holistic view of their operations and the means to meet mineral recovery targets by monitoring particle size and grinding activities. As a result, the plant increased copper recovery by 1.5% and provided a more consistent effluent, which facilitated the recovery of water in more than 1500 tons per hour.

Reporting time reduced by 95%

Alcoa used Seeq to standardize reporting, cutting report creation time from three weeks to just two hours and significantly improving report accuracy. This new approach to reporting also helped Alcoa's engineers gain autonomy to create alerts, notifications, and advanced models without IT support.

$1M saved per avoided incident

Glass coating lines run at extremely high speeds, making the data noisy and difficult to interpret when unexpected downtime occurs. Guardian Glass used Seeq to pinpoint when and why these issues were happening, then reported the findings and made corrections before any bad product or unplanned downtime occurred. As a result, the team now saves $1M per avoided incident.

Boliden at Conneqt 2023

The most energy-intensive step in a mineral concentration plant is grinding, in some cases 40% – 50% of the total site consumption. Optimizing the grinding operations has the most impact in power consumption and mill throughput. Seeq was used to perform analysis of the mill power utilization to identify the potential and then the performance of a new advanced process control system.
