The President of our country visited the Digital Control Center of the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Plant
Uzbekistan
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev inspected the operations of the Digital Control Center established at the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Plant.
This center plays a key role in coordinating production processes at the plant's first, second, and third copper processing plants, improving efficiency, and ensuring continuous monitoring.
Using modern digital control systems, large monitoring screens, video surveillance, and Siemens PCS 7 and AVEVA PI Vision platforms, crushing, flotation, thickening, filtration, reagent and process water supply processes, as well as workshop and transport system operations, are monitored in real time.
In other words, this center serves as the "brain" of the plant: over twenty thousand pieces of equipment are connected to a unified information system. Smart cameras provide initial monitoring, and artificial intelligence automatically detects abnormal situations. This enables rapid data analysis and decision-making.
While reviewing the center's operations, the President emphasized the significant potential of artificial intelligence for improving efficiency, particularly in the mining and metallurgy industries. Particular attention was paid to the need for widespread adoption of modern resource-saving technologies to ensure the rational use of water resources.
Here, the head of state was presented with plans for the further digitalization of the plant's production and technological processes.
As noted, all stages—from ore extraction in the quarry to the manufacture of finished products—are being consistently digitalized. Over the next five years, it is planned to widely implement artificial intelligence-based solutions at every stage.
Information was also provided on the progress of digitalization of deposits based on geological and survey data accumulated over eighty years. In particular, the "Digital Mine" system allows for the precise determination of mining operations on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
Artificial intelligence is used to monitor the condition of quarry roads, and the tire pressure and temperature of dump trucks are monitored using sensors. Thanks to such continuous monitoring, tire service life has been increased by 14 percent.
It was emphasized that training specialists with a thorough understanding of modern technologies, as well as training staff in new work methods and digital solutions, remains a priority.
Particular attention was also paid to expanding patenting activities. The need to patent scientific and technological solutions applied at every stage of the factory's operations, strengthen cooperation with authorized organizations in this area, and identify promising innovation areas was emphasized.
As noted, a new patent means a new technology, a new production area, and new markets. Given that our country's rich raw material base opens up vast opportunities for entering global markets, the goal has been set to develop clear approaches to determining which promising areas and the volume of new patents that can be obtained by 2026.
