CONCEPTUAL PROCESS VISUALISATION
01 / THE TECHNOLOGY
Constraint intelligence
for mineral processing.
A changing plant.
A clearer perspective.
A busy plant is not always a plant using its available capacity well.
DYNMICA brings utilisation and dominant constraints into view. Follow the plant-wide picture, investigate individual areas and understand how the limiting stage changes with operating conditions.
Use that perspective to focus the next conversation: an operating adjustment, a control improvement, a maintenance intervention or an engineering investigation.
Locate the constraint.
Identify which area is limiting the plant and how often that constraint moves.
Focus the response.
Connect the performance discussion to a specific area, operating condition and next investigation.
THE QUESTION BEHIND THE NUMBER
Better than yesterday.
But how close to possible?
Relative improvement and capacity utilisation answer different questions. A useful plant review needs both.
Explore the differencePERFORMANCE TREND
Did the change help?
Compare variability, throughput or another agreed measure before and after an intervention, accounting for changed operating conditions.
“Are we operating better?”CAPACITY PERSPECTIVE
What limits us now?
Compare the operating point with a defined limit. Then ask whether the limit, the available feed or another part of the circuit sets the pace.
“Where should we focus next?”05 / PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
A little more
perspective.

with the Innovation X team.
What does utilisation tell us?
It places operation in the context of a defined performance limit. The basis matters: capacity assumptions, operating state and the process boundary should be clear before comparing periods or areas.
How is this different from a throughput trend?
A throughput trend shows what happened. A constraint view adds the context needed to investigate why the plant was limited and which area merits attention.
Is the interactive lab connected to a plant?
No. It is an illustrative model with fixed scenario capacities. It demonstrates how a limiting stage can move; it is not a live DYNMICA installation or a prediction of your plant’s performance.
Does DYNMICA replace process control?
The offering presented here focuses on constraint visibility and utilisation. Control changes, optimisation objectives and any write-back requirements should be separately scoped and validated for the site.
What should we bring to an initial discussion?
A high-level flowsheet, the performance question you want to answer, the operating limits you already use and an overview of available data are useful starting points. Detailed requirements follow the agreed scope.
How does the view stay relevant as the plant changes?
Revisit the process hierarchy, limits and operating assumptions when equipment or objectives change. DYNMICA support includes maintenance and coaching to help teams use the implementation.
