PES: An Innovative Approach to Process Control Systems (and Energy Management) for Mining
Mining Metals and Minerals competency center
● Workforce crisis● Skills shortage
● Minerals scarcity● Extreme mining● Grade decline
Key Trends in Mining
In mining, energy can be up to 40% of the total cost of its supplies
By 2013, the demand for mining engineers is
expected to exceed supply by
Talent Strategy Advisors
Implications of Trends and Needs●Less funds available●Reduced workforce (less resources to develop in-house solutions or no core activities)
●Need to produce more with less●Minimize design time●Optimize project cost●Operating cost reduction●Maintenance cost reduction

Concurrent Engineering● Facilitate communication about design enhancements and process adjustments
● Delegate sections of PROCESS to various stakeholders, not sections of CODE
● Tear down barriers between Maintenance and Engineering departments to get up and running fast
● Several users can work on the same libraries and applications simultaneously from different work stations
● Check-in and check-out features are managed by the system and the user is always informed about the status of the applications
Single Distributed Configuration
Object Oriented
An integrated object offers consistent functionality throughout the system
The model is open and extensible so engineers can build their own objects if needed
The system takes care of the application lifecycle, managing the changes needed throughout the plant life
Ensures consistency across your system and drives operational efficiency
Object Oriented
●Dedicated Libraries●Control Devices
● Drives, motor starters, power meters, energy consumption, etc.
●Process control ● Signal conditioning, process loop,
sequence logic, motor control, etc.
● Users can modify and/or create their own libraries
● With diagnostic and maintenance information for operators and maintenance staff
●User guides, maintenance procedures, etc.
Dedicated Process Libraries
Built-in Energy Efficiency
● Real-time power consumption
● Dedicated libraries and application templates to help reduce energy waste
● Built-in “idle state” services for equipment that can be triggered based on stoppages or other process statuses
● Combined production and energy data to generate predictive maintenance alerts for equipment to reduce energy use and downtime
