Mining Process Intelligence

Engineer the process.
Build the intelligence.

Audvex combines metallurgical, chemical and process engineering thinking with purpose-built software — helping mines see losses sooner, reconcile performance faster and turn plant data into operating decisions.

A different consulting model

From plant-floor observation to a system that keeps learning from the operation.

Traditional consulting often ends with a report. Audvex is built to go further: understand the circuit, identify the decision gaps, connect the data and build the software layer that keeps the improvement visible after the engagement ends.

The result is a practical bridge between engineering, production, maintenance and management — without forcing mines into generic tools that do not reflect their operating reality.

Plant floor → decision room

Make process performance visible.

Audvex can start with the engineering question — where are we losing tonnes, metal, time or control? — and then build the monitoring, workflow and decision-support layer around the answer.

Engineering capabilities

Consulting services designed to become digital systems.

Start with a process problem. Keep software development at the core of the solution where it creates lasting operational value.

01 / Process

Plant Performance Audits

Review throughput, recovery, stability, constraints and operating practices across the processing plant to identify improvement opportunities.

02 / Accounting

Metallurgical Accounting

Digitise feed, product, concentrate, tailings, grades, tonnages and recoveries with auditable metal movement and reconciliation logic.

03 / Reconciliation

Mass & Metal Balancing

Build circuit-level mass balance models and exception reporting that make measurement gaps and reconciliation issues visible.

04 / Performance

Plant KPI Dashboards

Operational views for throughput, grade, recovery, yield, utilisation, availability and consumption against target.

05 / Operations

Digital Shift Logbooks

Replace fragmented paper and spreadsheet reporting with structured operator, supervisor and metallurgical shift workflows.

06 / Reliability

Production Loss Analysis

Classify downtime and process losses, quantify impact and connect recurring losses to equipment, conditions and operational events.

07 / Optimisation

Recovery & Yield Optimisation

Analyse relationships between ore characteristics, plant parameters and metallurgical results to focus improvement work.

08 / Utilities

Water, Reagent & Energy Intelligence

Track specific consumption, losses and abnormal usage against tonnes treated and metallurgical performance.

09 / Integration

Process Data Integration

Connect PLC/SCADA, laboratory, historian, maintenance, production and spreadsheet data into one decision layer.

10 / Ore

Mine-to-Mill Analytics

Relate ore feed and variability to crushing, grinding, throughput and downstream metallurgical performance.

11 / Control

Operating Window Monitoring

Define preferred process ranges and flag excursions before they become sustained production or recovery losses.

12 / Build

Custom Mining Software

Purpose-built applications for mine-specific workflows, calculations and reporting — online, LAN or offline where required.

The software backbone

Not another dashboard. An operational intelligence layer.

The strongest Audvex proposition is the connection between engineering insight and a system the site can use every shift. Build around the mine’s process, data availability and connectivity reality.

How Audvex enters a mine

Engineering first. Software where it earns its place.

Each engagement should be capable of standing on engineering value alone — with digitisation added where it improves repeatability, visibility and decision speed.

01

Discover the operating problem

Interview metallurgical and operating teams, walk the plant, map current reporting and identify where decisions are delayed or data is unreliable.

02

Establish the engineering model

Define the balances, KPIs, operating windows, loss categories and calculation logic needed to describe performance correctly.

03

Build the digital layer

Develop dashboards, logbooks, alerts, workflows and integrations around the real plant and the site’s infrastructure constraints.

04

Operate, learn and improve

Use the system to expose recurring losses, verify improvements and refine the operating model as more data becomes available.

Product direction

Turn consulting capability into repeatable mining modules.

These can sit beside the existing Audvex asset, inventory and maintenance platform while remaining configurable by commodity, flowsheet and site.
