KnowledgeScape® is unique in the world of real-time expert control systems because it is designed to control and optimize industrial processes using an integrated toolset of powerful artificial intelligent components. This integrated toolset contains a flexible expert control system that allows both crisp and fuzzy rules, on-line adaptive and competitive neural network models, and genetic algorithms for real-time optimization of the process. In addition to its use to optimize mineral processing plants it is also designed to embed intelligence into any piece of complex processing equipment. Typical benefits from the application KnowledgeScape® in mineral-processing applications are:

• 4 – 8% improvement in plant production,
• 1 – 3% increase quality control,
• 2 – 10% improvement in energy costs, and
• 2 – 10% decrease in reagents or other consumables.

These benefits are achieved by integrating advanced, artificially-intelligent tools into a single application that is focused on economic optimization.
