Metso and Rockwell Automation announced a partnership to deliver an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform that connects, monitors and performs analytics for Metso’s equipment and services. The IIoT platform is designed to help improve efficiency and profitability for mining and aggregates customers.
The digital solution will collect and store data from Metso’s equipment, including both new equipment and machines already in operation globally. The solution will provide predictive analytics and preventive maintenance, and facilitate remote asset monitoring by Metso and its customers.
The IIoT solution is built on the Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Cloud platform powered by Microsoft Azure. Rockwell Automation and Microsoft partner on solutions required for industrial digital transformation, with the Metso solution one of the results of that partnership.
Metso began working with Rockwell Automation on a pilot program in 2015, remotely monitoring an African-based mining crusher from a location in Wisconsin. Metso was able to use the data collected to help identify opportunities for improvements in machine performance. Metso then set up a Digital Program in 2016 to increase the company’s digital capabilities, which is critical to the future of minerals processing and flow control.
