Metals & Mining
Ever-increasing global growth is driving demand for metals which requires new levels of productivity and efficiency. Our solutions improve asset reliability, integrate data and optimize mineral processing for safer, more sustainable mining operations.
Heavy mobile equipment (HME) failures significantly impact the mining value chain, leading to costly shutdowns, health and safety risks, and significant losses.
AspenTech’s prescriptive maintenance solution can monitor haul fleets, excavators and other HME, providing actionable, real-time insights and identifying failures before they occur—often with weeks or even months of advance notice.
