Mining & Cement Automation Solutions by Area: Maximize Uptime and Cut Energy per Ton

Unlock crusher to kiln potential with field-proven control architectures and dedicated high-torque, dust-tough, regenerative functions for continuous quarry-to-silo operations.

How ABB Automation in the Mining and Cement Processing Industry Works

Automation in the mining and cement processing industry works by integrating electrical, control and digital technologies into one platform—ABB’s approach typifies this. ABB Ability™ System 800xA acts as the “single window” that ties together:

Smart mining equipment – gearless mill drives, bucket-wheel excavators, hoists and conveyors run with AC 800M / AC 800M Hi controllers and variable-speed drives, giving operators remote, co-ordinated control of extraction, haulage and crushing while cutting energy up to 70 %.

Real-time data loop – thousands of field sensors stream temperature, power, vibration and throughput data; ABB Ability™ apps perform predictive analytics and automatically tune set-points for kilns, mills or flotation cells, raising yield and machine availability.


Process & energy optimisation – Expert Optimizer APC continuously adjusts kiln feed, fuel ratio and cooler speed, trimming specific heat energy by ~8 % and boosting alternative-fuel usage to 50 % in cement plants; similar APC is applied to SAG-mill speed and flotation airflow in concentrators.
Unified electrical & automation package – medium-/low-voltage drives, MCC and motors are engineered together with the control logic, eliminating islands of automation and enabling “ventilation-on-demand” or truckless conveyor strategies that lower OPEX and Scope-1 emissions.

Adherence to pollution and waste management regulations

the Mining and Cement Processing Industry is one of the biggest contributors to man-made CO2 emissions, and the processes used can create hazardous by products that need to be disposed of safely.

What is Automation in the Mining and Cement Processing Industry?

Mining Sector

Blasting and hauling limestone, iron ore and clay from open-pit or underground quarries to feed downstream plants.

Crushing & Grinding

Primary crushers, SAG and ball mills reduce run-of-mine rock to <75 µm raw meal, cutting power use with variable-speed drives.

Pyro-Processing

Rotary kilns at 1,450 °C sinter raw meal into clinker—precise burner control saves fuel and limits NOx/CO₂ emissions.

Cement Finish & Dispatch

Vertical mills grind clinker with gypsum to ASTM or EN-grade cement, then stored in silos and packed for ready-mix and pre-cast markets.
