Aeterna Automation develops neural-network smart instruments and advanced process control for mineral processing operations — helping plants produce more, responsibly, without adding risk to the people or the process.
Every mineral processing plant carries a gap between where it runs today and where physics says it could run. That gap shows up as conservative mill load, off-spec product, wasted energy, and tonnes that never became revenue.
Closing that gap doesn't require a rip-and-replace. It requires better information arriving at the right moment — giving the controller and the operator the head start they need to act, not react.
That is what Aeterna builds: camera-based smart instruments that see the process a few minutes before the DCS does, paired with model predictive control that uses that lead time to hold the circuit at its true optimum.
We come in through the data — plant historians, lab assays, shift logs — before we ever touch a setpoint. A digital twin of your specific circuit is built and validated against your history. You see the twin tracking your plant before anything goes live.
Smart instruments commission in days, not quarters. MPC goes online in operator-advice mode first, then closed-loop on your terms. Operators stay in command; Aeterna holds the limit.
We measure what we promise. If the +1–3% throughput gain and the 3–8% energy reduction don't show up in your numbers, we want to know why.
Our company profile covers who we are, what we build, the circuits we work on, sample results, and how an engagement runs — start to finish. Suitable for sharing with your GM, board, or procurement team.
