First-Principle Digital Twin and Advanced Process Control Integration in Mining Applications

This presentation will explore the synergy between high-fidelity simulation and advanced control technologies within the minerals and metals sector. The session provides a foundational refresher on Digital Twin architectures and the core principles of Advanced Process Control (APC).

Attendees will learn how digital twins are utilised throughout a greenfield mining project from virtual commissioning and DCS verification to simulation-based operator training. Honeywell will also show the integration of first-principle models with APC platforms to estimate unmeasured variables, enrich real-time process predictions, and speed up the commissioning process of advanced control applications. 

Lastly, they will explore a practical roadmap for implementation detailing the specific design requirements and stages necessary to build a world-class digital mine.
