The Weir Group outlined a push to use AI and digital twins to lift mining plant throughput by narrowing conservative operating margins.
NEXT intelligent solutions target comminution and mill-circuit performance using physics-based models recalibrated with site-specific operating data.
The digital twin platform integrates IoT, sensor, maintenance, and processing data to support predictive maintenance and scenario simulation across circuits.
Management positioned the technology as complementary to Advanced Process Control, with AI operating on a longer horizon and GenAI used to explain outputs.
Weir cited 120 monitored sites, over 1,000 connected assets, and over 700 actionable cases annually from NEXT telemetry and field service tools.
