Problems We Solve in Throughput Stabilization

01

The Challenge

Minor shifts in hardness, float size, or oxygen efficiency can trigger major performance losses. Most plants detect the impact only after recovery has already suffered.

02

Our Approach

NTWIST connects real-time process signals with predictive models to flag instability across grinding, flotation, and energy use. Operators get early warnings and guidance to correct drift before it cuts into throughput or recovery.

From Drift to Stability → Automatically

From Drift to Stability → Automatically

NTWIST uses predictive monitoring and adaptive feedback to catch early signs of circuit instability - so you stay ahead of variability, not behind it.

01

Early Drift Detection

Spot trends like load, feed rates, and torque changes in real time - before they impact throughput or recovery.

02

Flotation Feedback Loops

Enhance flotation performance with real-time AI-powered froth image analysis, air rate modeling, and reagent benchmarks.

03

Adaptive Control Recommendations

Tune setpoints, reagent dosing, and flow rates with model-backed recommendations - just before things spiral.

04

Real-Time Performance Benchmarks

Compare performance metrics against similar circuits to detect anomalies and set realistic targets.

05

Soft Sensors for Hard Data

Close data gaps with virtual sensors that reveal hidden issues - no new hardware required.

06

Seamless System Integration

Link SCADA, DCS, Historian, PI, and lab systems into a unified feedback layer - built for retrofitting.

 
Stay Stable. Stay Ahead.

Stay Stable. Stay Ahead.

NTWIST detects variability before your team sees it - helping you stabilize performance without overcorrecting.

Unstable grinding and flotation processes lead to drift, energy waste, and lost recovery. NTWIST monitors real-time signals to detect early signs of process disruption and recommends corrective actions before they impact output.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

NTWIST detects early signs of drift and variability, then recommends corrective actions across grinding, flotation, and feed rate - all before performance takes a hit.

No. NTWIST uses soft sensors to infer performance gaps where instrumentation is limited. We work with what you have - no new hardware required.

Most sites see 10–20% better grind compliance, reduced downtime, and measurable recovery gains tied to more stable operation.

Not at all. NTWIST surfaces insights and recommendations - your operators stay in control. We support decision-making, not override it.

Yes. By stabilizing process conditions, energy and reagent use naturally decrease - often leading to measurable cost savings.

NTWIST integrates with SCADA, DCS, OSIsoft PI, PLCs, and most plant historians. It’s built for compatibility, not disruption.

Most plants are up and running within 60–90 days. We focus on lightweight integration and fast time to value.
