Energy, efficiency & intelligence
Turning real-time process behaviour into measurable savings and predictable throughput
Tacmin.ai monitors energy use, material flow, production rates, and process behaviour in real time, exposing waste, bottlenecks, and cost leakage as they develop. With every stage of your operation visible, inefficiencies can be corrected early, process variability stabilises, and leaders gain the evidence they need to optimise performance without compromising safety, quality, or compliance. The result is sharper throughput, tighter control of inputs, and a reliable pathway to stable, predictable operational efficiency across mining, processing, and supporting infrastructure.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
Energy Intelligence
From hidden inefficiencies to measurable cost and carbon reductions
Why it matters | Most operations underestimate how much energy is being lost through inefficiency. Haulage fleets burn more than the plan requires, processing circuits drift from optimal load, pumps and utilities run harder than needed, and baseload creep goes unnoticed. Without a clear, integrated picture of energy behaviour, costs rise and emissions targets slip out of reach. |
Our focus | We consolidate telemetry, SCADA signals, load profiles, circuit behaviour, pumping performance, ventilation demand, and site utilities into one continuous energy view. This exposes spikes, baseload deviations, load–process mismatches, and chronic overconsumption patterns well before they escalate into cost or carbon penalties. |
Outcome | Cleaner, more efficient operations with reduced energy spend and a defensible pathway to emissions reduction. Energy decisions become evidence-based, operational settings become disciplined, and the business gains a measurable return through cost and carbon performance. |
Process Flow Clarity
Understanding how material really moves through your operation
Why it matters | Bottlenecks seldom appear as single failures. They form through subtle timing delays, inconsistent feed rates, blending issues, circuit imbalance, and misalignment between mining and processing. These quiet inefficiencies compound, reducing throughput and increasing variability long before anyone sees a major stoppage. |
Our focus | We map real material movement from loading points through conveyors, crushers, screens, stockpiles, bins, and mills. By analysing interaction under different operating conditions, Tacmin.ai reveals where flow stalls, queues form, or process circuits fall out of sync with mining output — exposing the true drivers of hidden performance loss. |
Outcome | A smoother, balanced production flow with reduced variability and more predictable output. Operations gain stability, planners gain confidence, and throughput rises on the strength of disciplined, evidence-backed flow management. |
Operational Efficiency Control
Real-time visibility that keeps losses minor, controlled, and recoverable
Why it matters | Small, unseen inefficiencies compound into major operational losses. Recycled material loops, excessive recirculation, unstable throughput, idle peaks, and unnecessary rework gradually erode performance. Without real-time visibility, leaders react too late, systems drift out of balance, and efficiency becomes luck rather than control. |
Our focus | We integrate production data, operator behaviour, runtime patterns, process interactions, and equipment performance into a unified efficiency layer. Tacmin.ai exposes early warning signs — where losses are forming, how systems respond under load, and which behaviours are driving instability — giving leaders the clarity to intervene before small issues become costly problems. |
Outcome | A steady, controlled operation with fewer losses, faster recovery, and predictable performance. Energy, material flow, and equipment behaviour remain balanced, allowing the entire system to run with deliberate, measurable efficiency. |
Performance & Cost Assurance
Independent verification that your operation is running at its true potential
Why it matters | Reported averages and end-of-shift summaries often hide the real drivers of performance. Hour-to-hour variability, unverified delays, unstable circuits, energy drift, and subtle cost leakage go unnoticed. Decisions are made on partial information, upgrades become difficult to justify, and leaders lose clarity on whether the operation is performing at its commercial potential. |
Our focus | We independently verify throughput, energy efficiency, process stability, fleet behaviour, and cost performance against expected conditions. Tacmin.ai quantifies operational losses, isolates cost leakage, and presents a defensible evidence base for executives, owners, and engineers assessing redesigns, optimisation pathways, or investment decisions. |
Outcome | Transparent performance, reduced cost leakage, and a commercially sound foundation for future improvements. Leaders gain the assurance needed to act confidently — with clear evidence showing where value is created, protected, or lost. |
OUTCOME: Lower energy costs, cleaner operations, smoother production flow, and a stable efficiency profile that keeps your operation predictable and financially controlled.
Outsourcing digital control to Tacmin.ai
Some clients prefer to run their own digital oversight, others outsource it entirely, and many take a blended path. Tacmin.ai supports all three through a flexible managed service model. Data from the mine is securely streamed to Tacmin.ai’s Remote Operations Centre, where it is monitored, reconciled, and benchmarked in real time. Whether fully managed by our team, shared with client personnel, or set up as a pilot before transfer, this approach provides immediate access to structured digital oversight without the cost of building on-site infrastructure.
Fully Managed Oversight
Best for organisations seeking turnkey digital oversight and rapid deployment.
Collaborative Oversight
Best for clients building digital capacity but wanting assurance on high-risk areas.
Pilot-to-Transfer Model
Best for clients planning long-term in-house control but needing a structured transition.
