Digitalised grinding plants in mining
Digital transformation in mining: maximum efficiency through intelligent vertical roller mills
Digitalisation is also revolutionising the mining industry and innovative grinding technologies are at the heart of this development. Modern vertical roller mills with intelligent, data-based control systems enable unprecedented operational efficiency. The use of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as sensor monitoring, artificial intelligence (AI) and preventive maintenance, minimises downtimes, maximises the availability of the mill and significantly reduces operating costs. Our Gebr. Pfeiffer service team will advise you on all details.
GPlink: Real-time data for maximum process reliability
With GPlink, the digital monitoring module from Pfeiffer, you can keep an eye on your vertical roller mills at all times. Our smart system collects and stores sensor data, can be used for in-depth data analysis and predictive process control. A 24/7 remote access solution gives you mobile access to operating data, drastically reducing downtime.
- real-time data analysis for proactive and predictive maintenance
- optimised process monitoring with continuous sensor detection
- direct support from the service team for fast troubleshooting

GPpro: Intelligente maintenance management for maximum availability
Predictive maintenance is a decisive factor for efficient mill control. GPpro, the advanced maintenance system from Pfeiffer, flexibly adapts to the current operating conditions and enables predictable, targeted maintenance measures.
- advanced sensor technology for more precise condition monitoring
- AI-supported data analysis for predicting maintenance requirements
- automated reports for targeted error prevention
The result: lower maintenance costs, fewer unplanned downtimes and a longer service life for the system.

AI-supported process optimisation: How to exploit the full potential of your vertical roller mill
Artificial intelligence takes the optimisation of your grinding plant to a new level. While experienced operators can already control many parameters, AI analyses an enormous number of variables simultaneously to determine the ideal operating values. The first industrial applications already show that the combination of AI and smart process control can exploit the full performance potential of mills. Let's talk about the potential that you can derive from this for your mining company.
Take advantage of these and other AI benefits for your mining plant:
- reduced specific energy consumption through optimized grinding parameters
- increased production capacity through intelligent adaptation of operating conditions
- dynamic process control for maximum efficiency
