02Why?

Copper plants hold additional production potential, hidden across the data they already have.

The money concentrates in a small number of problems - but finding them means connecting systems that were never designed to talk to each other.

Every one of these is measurable and recoverable - once the evidence sits in one place instead of five.

  1. 01

    Recovery. copper lost to flotation tails as feed grade, grinding P80/PSD and mineralogy change

  2. 02

    Throughput. crushers and mills run below potential against the binding constraint - hard or coarse ore, SAG limits, flotation residence

  3. 03

    Concentrate grade & payables. grade, by-product credits and penalty elements not balanced to net payable value

  4. 04

    Reagents. sub-optimal selection, recipe and dosing for the feed - over- or under-dosing across ore types

  5. 05

    Reliability & maintenance. bad actors on mills, pumps, crushers and flotation; reline timing, spares and approval delays

03How it works

One loop, run continuously.

Not a one-off diagnostic. Subatix runs the same loop your best engineers would - across all of the data, all of the time.

01

Connect

Connects the data you already have - historian, CMMS, MES, LIMS, shift logs, even email chains - and enriches it with operational context.

02

Find

Searches across every source for losses and uplift opportunities, and translates each one into recoverable dollars.

02FC-3 recovery window drifting off pH target$0.71M

Recommend

Domain modules turn findings into prioritized actions - every claim linked to the records behind it.

Primary · root cause58%

Lubrication-film breakdown on pinion bearing B-101 under sustained high-tonnage load drives temperature excursions and accelerated wear. Consistent across 5 work orders and vibration-trend history.

Act

Your team decides and executes. The system tracks outcomes, updates as new data lands, and keeps learning your plant.

Ranked hypotheses

Every finding carries competing explanations with explicit confidence - never a single unexplained verdict.

Evidence chain

Each claim is traced to source records and timestamps. Auditable by any engineer, not a black box.

Action & recovery

Findings end in a corrective action with an owner and a recovery value - ready to approve, assign, or dismiss.
