Mining companies are constantly searching for solutions to help them improve productivity to deal with challenges like increasing processing costs and declining ore grades. To holistically address these challenges, Metso has set up a new Performance Solutions unit dedicated to delivering and sustaining performance improvements and measurable business results. The unit, said Metso, creates tailored solutions combining products and services from across the full Metso portfolio, targeted to meet each customer’s individual production and effi ciency objectives. “Performance Solutions are based on in-depth engineering studies and data analysis, which we utilize to identify our customer’s improvement opportunities. Agreed enhancements are then implemented at the customer site and sustained long-term, through continuous monitoring and proactive services,” said Mikko Keto, president of Metso’s Minerals Services and Pumps business areas. Metso said Performance Solutions builds on the success of its Life Cycle Services offering, which has more than 350 active contracts globally. Taking that concept one step further, with Performance Solutions, Metso is focusing on achieving and sustaining agreed-upon improvements, such as increased throughput or energy efficiency, for its customers. “We will offer our customers more options for sustained performance optimization and deepen our partnership by taking a more active role in providing them business outcomes, not just equipment or services,” said Keto.
