Weir says NEXT digital twins, AI narrow processing plant operating margins
  • The Weir Group outlined a push to use AI and digital twins to lift mining plant throughput by narrowing conservative operating margins.
  • NEXT intelligent solutions target comminution and mill-circuit performance using physics-based models recalibrated with site-specific operating data.
  • Digital twin platform integrates IoT, sensor, maintenance, and processing data to support predictive maintenance and scenario simulation across circuits.
  • Management positioned the technology as complementary to Advanced Process Control, with AI operating on a longer horizon and GenAI used to explain outputs.
  • Weir cited 120 monitored sites, over 1,000 connected assets, and over 700 actionable cases annually from NEXT telemetry and field service tools.
