From pit to plant to kiln: AI that keeps metals and mining running
Aging fleets, remote sites, and energy-intensive kiln operations leave no room for generic AI that needs months to learn your operation. IRIS Foundry arrives pre-trained on metals, mining, and cement, connecting SCADA, historians, fleet management, and kiln control systems, so your team gets from raw signal to corrective action in weeks, not quarters.
AI-powered solutions built for every operation in metals and mining
Generic AI wasn't built for the scale of a pit, the wear on a mill, or the heat of a kiln burning zone. IRIS Foundry closes that gap with domain intelligence built around fixed and mobile mining equipment and cement processing lines, so insight doesn't wait for a data science team to catch up.

From aging fleets to energy-intensive kilns, IRIS Foundry addresses the real operational pressures in metals, mining, and cement.
Safety across pit, plant, and kiln
Monitor safety-critical conditions across the pit, mill, and rotary kiln in real time, helping teams catch high-risk events, from gear vibration to gas leaks, before they escalate into incidents.
Recovery, grade, and clinker quality
Catch deviations against target recovery, concentrate grade, and clinker quality in real time, using AI models trained on your ore body and kiln process data, not generic defect libraries.
Asset reliability for fleet and kiln equipment
Predict failures on crushers, mills, drag lines, haul trucks, and rotary kilns before they force an unplanned shutdown or safety event.
Soft sensors and advanced process control
Fill instrumentation gaps, from cement fineness to free lime, and stabilize comminution, grinding, and kiln burning zones with AI-based soft sensors, extending visibility without new hardware.
Fragmented operational data
IRIS Foundry unifies SCADA, historians, fleet management, and ERP data into one governed, real-time view across pit, plant, and kiln, replacing the manual reconciliation that slows root cause analysis.
Skills gaps and workforce
AI copilots and guided work instructions put process expertise, from kiln operations to fleet maintenance, in front of every operator, so tools fit existing workflows instead of fighting them.
AI outcomes in production, not in demos
Impact of SymphonyAI's AI-driven asset health and process optimization for a 350 ton-per-hour cement plant, including a 50% reduction in safety incidents and a 4%+ increase in throughput.
Pre-built industrial agents included with IRIS Foundry and IRIS Flows, ready to deploy across pit, mill, and kiln operations.
Use cases across metals and mining operations
From predictive maintenance to kiln optimization, IRIS Foundry, Forge, and Flows apply one unified data foundation to the use cases that matter most in metals, mining, and cement.

Predictive asset intelligence
Predict failures on crushers, mills, rotating equipment, and rotary kilns with remaining-useful-life modeling, and automate maintenance dispatch before assets fail.
Process optimization and digital twin
Optimize comminution, flotation, and grinding circuits, model kiln burning-zone and clinker performance, and get closed-loop setpoint advisories for real-time throughput gains.
Quality and grade intelligence
Forecast in-process grade, recovery, and clinker quality issues, run statistical process control alerts, and trace off-spec root causes with lab and process genealogy integration.
Cement kiln and clinker optimization
Estimate cement fineness and free lime online with AI-based soft sensors, cut kiln NOx emissions, and reduce unplanned incidents with digital twin monitoring and automated cause analysis.
Energy and emissions intelligence
Optimize energy use across grinding, smelting, and kiln circuits, track Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and manage peak demand across the site.
Industrial DataOps
Unify OT and IT data across sites into a single namespace with 100+ connectors, and build a Cortex graph purpose-built for metals, mining, and cement operations.
Agentic operations with IRIS Flows
Run autonomous agents from anomaly to root cause to work order, auto-respond to safety deviations, and coordinate multi-agent maintenance scheduling with a human always in the loop.
AI copilot for pit, plant, and kiln operations
Ask natural-language questions over pit, plant, and kiln data, capture operator advisories and shift handover reports, and search SOPs instantly.
Resources for metals and mining operations
Case studies and data sheets built for metals and mining teams.
One platform: IRIS Foundry, Forge, and Flows
One unified data foundation, one way to build new AI applications, and one layer of agentic execution, built to work together across your plant.
