Process Optimisation Agent

Purpose

The purpose of Process Optimisation Agent is to continuously tune mill and plant parameters, including feed, grinding, and reagents, using reinforcement learning to boost recovery and reduce energy use in mining operations.

Primary users

The primary user is not specified in the provided information. The agent is associated with the M&R team and is intended for use in a mining context.

Where it fits (process/stage/trigger)

Process Optimisation Agent fits into ongoing mill and plant operational optimisation, where parameters need to be continuously adjusted to improve recovery and energy performance.

Key capabilities / workflow

Process Optimisation Agent analyzes the process context, tunes operating parameters such as feed, grinding, and reagents through reinforcement learning, checks whether performance improves, and iterates when further optimisation is needed.

Inputs
