In order to boost productivity, the mining industry needs to continuously improve the systems for extracting and refining minerals. This requires cutting-edge modular solutions. The durable automation components
from Festo have proven themselves in operation and are designed for the extreme requirements of the mining industry. Maximum plant availability
and safety for people and the environment are also paramount.

The manual operation of remote decentralised plants such as rainwater retention basins is costly in terms of both time and money. Travel to the location, actuate or inspect the system, travel back to the offi ce: all of this takes time and is not very productive. The answer is energy-autonomous automation using photovoltaics while operation and monitoring take place in a central control room.

Safety equipment in process plants aims to reduce the hazards presented by a plant for people, the environment and property to the lowest possible, acceptable level. Depending on the potential hazards, plants are assigned a Safety Integrity Level (SIL1 to SIL4). SIL1 represents the lowest risk and SIL4 the highest acceptable risk with catastrophic consequences.
