Continuous Mining

SIMINE^CIS CONT combines our solutions for the individual process steps in continuous opencast mining into an overall system offering maximum availability. Our recipe for success is to bring together leading electro technical products with process technology expertise linked via perfectly matched interfaces, thereby providing the basis for excavating more material with less wear and tear on machinery and thus optimizing operating costs

Water Solutions

From the treatment technology to process automation and controls, Siemens provides turnkey water solutions for your mine. Engineering, commissioning and performance-based contracts are a few of the value-added services we provide. A single-source provider assists in the coordination effort and accelerates the time line from projects creation through to start-up.

Power Solutions

Optimized power supply and quality are the keys to safety and stability. Secure power supply is one of the prerequisites for successful plant operation. Our solutions are designed to meet the requirements of the industry and the high demands with respect to operator safety and operational reliability.

Turnkey packages

Siemens offers you a range of different turnkey levels to suit your needs, from turnkey implementation of the electrical section to complete delivery of machines, vehicles and systems - including life-cycle management and equipment for the secondary processes.

Production Management

Production Management makes the entire mining process transparent from excavation to ore processing. At the same time, it facilitates vertical information flow from production control level to the ERP system. Network solutions from Siemens provide both the infrastructure for exchanging data in the field and high-performance data highways for linking the areas together.

Security Systems

Security Systems provided by Siemens take plant security as well as data security into account. Thus, providing a complete security system for your employees, equipment and information.

Service and Maintenance

The maintenance of your plant is a substantial cost factor. But even though it accounts for up to 40% of ongoing operating costs, it is the only alternative to unplanned downtime. That makes it even more crucial to optimize maintenance processes – for the performance of your equipment and your mine.

Discontinuous Mining

SIMINE^CIS DICONT optimizes the individual process steps in discontinuous mining and the entire process chain. Modules of this overall solution are proven solutions with innovative features for draglines, shovels, trucks and conveyor belts. Individualized matching of these modules to one another produces synergies for more performance, security and availability of all equipment.

Minewinder

The performance of underground mines depends critically on the capability of the hoisting equipment. The aim is to increase this capability without endangering the safety of persons during the transport in the shaft.

Benefication Plant

Being competitive in this case means increasing output while at the same time reducing wear and tear and costs for service and repairs. Solutions from Siemens allow you to meet all these requirements.
