Mining plant automation and industrial data
Control system integration, telemetry, and time-series historian work for mining plants and remote infrastructure across Southern Africa.
Typical challenges
- •Remote pumps and plants where the cellular or radio link drops for hours
- •High-volume process data that overwhelms legacy archives
- •Integration between plant control and enterprise reporting
How LCT helps
- ✓PLC/SCADA projects for process areas and utilities
- ✓Telemetry and gateway architectures for remote assets
- ✓TDengine Historian for high-ingest industrial time-series
Frequently asked questions
Does LCT work on both plant and infrastructure systems?
Yes — process areas, utilities, water circuits, and remote monitoring for supporting infrastructure.
How do you monitor remote sites where the link is unreliable?
By assuming the link will drop. Gateways buffer locally and forward when the connection returns, so a lost cellular or radio window becomes a gap that fills itself rather than data you never see. Control stays in the PLC so the site keeps running regardless of the link.
What if our current historian cannot keep up with the data volume?
That is a common reason mines start looking. When ingest rates or retention limits force you to thin out tags or shorten history, you lose the record you need for downtime and quality investigations. TDengine Historian is built for high-ingest industrial time-series, so the decision about what to keep becomes an engineering one rather than a licensing one.
Let’s talk about the plant and the remote sites
Tell us about the process plant, the remote pumps and infrastructure, and the radio or cellular paths that fail first. We will propose an approach for the control and telemetry work.
