Circuit, Concentrator and Enterprise. The Circuit tier covers one control or sensing module on one grinding or flotation circuit. Concentrator covers the whole plant. Enterprise is for multi-site mining groups. Annual prepay carries a 15 to 20% discount and outcome components are available on recovery, energy, water and reagents.
Floor pricing is protected. Discounts are traded for term length and a published case study.
Land on one workflow with a measured baseline. Expand by circuit, area, concentrator and autonomy level. Outcome components are available on recovery, energy, water and reagents. Annual prepay carries a 15 to 20% discount.
Comminution or flotation control, or grade sensing, for one circuit. For concentrators validating ROI on the wedge.
The whole plant: crush and grind, float and reagent, separate and classify, thicken and dewater, grade and froth, throughput and recovery, circuit and takt, robotic handling and the twin.
Multi-site mining groups standardising on Orebex, with custom ore, mineralogy and recovery models.

We do not publish savings percentages because we have not measured any yet. These are the inputs a plant brings to the pilot baseline, and the outputs the pilot measures.
A run engine that produces this record on every shift, on every circuit you license.
Concentrator Orchestrator · Pulled the shift plan from the concentrator MES: copper porphyry blend B-14, P80 target 150 µm, concentrate grade at or above 25% Cu, recovery target per the geometallurgy model, energy and water budgets. Locked the operating envelope for the blend.
Concentrator Twin · Simulated 32 candidate grind, air and reagent schemes on the as-run twin for the hardening blend, ranked on predicted recovery, concentrate grade, kWh per tonne and water per tonne. Two candidates breached the thickener bed limit and were discarded.
Crush-and-Grind · SAG-1 feed trimmed 3% and cyclone water raised as load and power signatures read a harder feed. P80 from the particle-size analyzer held at 148 µm against the 150 µm target; mill power stayed inside the energy budget.
Grade-and-Froth · Twelve froth cameras and the online XRF on rougher bank 2 fused at the edge. Froth stability on cells 3 and 4 fell as the blend hardened; predicted recovery drifted 0.4 points below plan. Early warning published to the control agents.
Concentrator Orchestrator · Scheme #7 raises collector dose 6% on rougher bank 2, above the standing reagent scheme. Reagent-scheme changes stay supervised on this blend, so the step was held for the shift metallurgist and approved at 07:19:44.
Float-and-Reagent · Approved collector dose applied with an air trim of 4% down on cells 3 and 4 inside the envelope. Froth stability recovered within eight minutes; predicted recovery returned to plan with concentrate grade read at 25.6% Cu.
Separate-and-Classify · One cyclone brought online in cluster 1 as feed density rose with the hardness change, holding overflow size and circulating load inside the plan.
Thicken-and-Dewater · Tailings thickener TH-2 flocculant dose trimmed as bed pressure rose; underflow density held and overflow clarity stayed inside the water-recovery target.
Throughput-and-Recovery · Whole-plant targets recomputed for the hardened blend: feed rate, P80, air and reagent targets handed to the control agents with recovery, grade, energy and water inside the budget. The losing candidates and their scores are in the run record.
Quality-and-Conformance · Concentrate lot C-20931 released: genealogy written (blend, grind record, reagent and air moves, froth and grade reads, approvals, dewatering record, assays as they land) and dispositioned against the concentrate spec with cited evidence for the metallurgist's sign-off.
Copper, gold, lithium, nickel and zinc, iron ore and rare earths. Most plants pick one circuit and one wedge, prove the number, then expand.
Porphyry copper concentrators with instrumented SAG and ball circuits and rougher banks. Frothix and Floatex on the rougher bank where a recovery point is already counted in metal.
Gold flotation and gravity circuits where a recovery point is worth the most per tonne. Frothix on the flotation bank first, Grindex on the mill as the energy case lands.
Spodumene concentrators ramping on variable feed. Oretwin to rehearse blends and schemes before the shift, Floatex on reagent control.
Sulphide flotation with tight concentrate specifications and depressant chemistry. Floatex and Frothix on the cleaner bank with the metallurgist's approval gates.
Grinding, classification and magnetic or gravity separation where energy per tonne dominates. Grindex first, then the classification and dewatering agents in the Concentrator tier.
Orebex writes to production equipment. Every capability is scoped, every write is policy-checked against the operating envelope, and every action is written to an append-only audit log the plant owns.

One policy model, one audit trail, one benchmark across every circuit in every concentrator, with the ore, mineralogy and recovery models kept private to each site.
The questions processing managers, metallurgists and sustainability leads ask in the first meeting.
Yes, but only within an explicit tag allow-list with per-tag rate and magnitude limits, inside the operating envelope for the blend, and only at the autonomy level your plant has set. Design partners start in shadow mode, where Orebex writes nothing. Reagent-scheme changes stay supervised by a named metallurgist until the ore type is characterised.
Control returns to the APC or DCS last known-good state. Orebex is a supervisory layer on top of the control systems and interlocks you already run, never a replacement for them, so an outage degrades the circuit to its current way of running, not to a stop. The edge is designed to run fail-safe through a network outage.
Advisory recommendations start from the twin and the shift plan in the first weeks. Froth, grade, recovery and grind-response prediction improve as circuit history and assay-labelled outcomes accumulate per ore type. The compute plan sizes training at 2,000 to 8,000 GPU-hours per commodity model family once partner data exists, a design target.
Only if you choose cloud training. Ore-body data, geometallurgy models, reagent schemes, process models and recovery records are isolated per tenant and never used to train another customer's models. A fully on-prem deployment at the plant edge is available for remote and IP-sensitive sites, and federated learning across sites is planned and waits on data-rights agreements.
You are, the same as with any control strategy, which is why every write is policy-checked, bounded, logged and reversible, and why anything above your risk threshold waits for a named approver. The audit log records the request, the evidence, the envelope applied and the human decision.
A paid pilot of 90 to 120 days on one grinding or flotation circuit, scoped to a single wedge with a success metric written into the order form: recovery gain, energy per tonne saved, water reduction or reagent per tonne. The first weeks baseline recovery, energy and water in shadow mode from your own assays and meters.
Start with one grinding or flotation circuit and one measurable baseline. A paid pilot on froth-vision recovery control, grind-size energy or reagent dosing shows the number before you commit further.
