Griffin Open Systems

Mining & minerals

Artificial intelligence applied to modeling and optimization of a rotary kiln can be aimed at higher product quality and production rate, lower emissions, better slagging management, or a combination of those objectives.

Several AI methods are used together so the combustion and chemistry of a particular kiln can be learned and represented well enough for optimization and real-time control. The system makes small changes to the operating parameters available to the crew, on a regular cycle, in service of objectives that are defined over the long term. Expert knowledge can be written in the Griffin AI Toolkit® so it works with the AI, and so unusual conditions are handled inside accepted practice. The point is confidence that control will not wander outside what the operation will allow.

The Griffin AI Toolkit advantage

Mining and minerals producers get a no-code interface with tools to model and analyze the process they have, and to close the loop in real time without reprogramming PLC logic. The solution scales, so a plant of any size and any level of automation can use automated control and the benefit of AI optimization.
