Coming Soon

Advanced process control software built for ownership, flexibility, and scale.

Smart APC is a modular, extendable, hardware-independent advanced process control platform being built to give control engineers real ownership of their systems. From milling, flotation, and leaching to broader plant-wide optimization, Smart APC is designed to be accessible, cutting edge, and ready to grow with operational needs.

Modular Deploy the capabilities you need and expand over time.
Hardware Independent Built to work across control environments without locking users in.
Engineer Accessible Made for control engineers who need practical ownership and flexibility.
Platform Vision

APC software that engineers can own, extend, and evolve

Our goal is to transform the industry by making advanced process control more open, more practical, and more adaptable. Smart APC is being built so users are not boxed into rigid architectures or dependent on closed vendor ecosystems every time their needs change.

Modular architecture

Start with the functions you need today and add new capability as your plant and control strategy mature.

Extendable by design

Support future growth, customization, and evolving process requirements without rebuilding from scratch.

Cutting-edge foundation

Built to support modern APC workflows, clearer visibility, and stronger long-term maintainability.

Accessible to engineers

Designed so control engineers can understand, manage, and improve their own systems with confidence.

Applications

From milling to flotation to leaching and far beyond

Smart APC is being developed to support a broad range of process areas across mining, mineral processing, and other advanced industrial operations where stability, recovery, throughput, and responsiveness matter.

Industrial mill in a mineral processing plant

Milling and grinding

Improve circuit stability, reduce variability, and support more consistent performance across grinding operations.

Ore moving on a conveyor belt in a mining operation

Feed and material handling

Coordinate upstream systems, material flow, and feed response to strengthen downstream control performance.

Mineral processing plant with crushing and conveying equipment

Flotation, leaching, and downstream recovery

Extend advanced control into recovery-critical areas where tighter process behavior and clearer insight create value.

Process Coverage

Built to grow with the plant

Smart APC is intended to support both focused use cases and broader plant-wide deployment, enabling teams to extend capability as operational needs expand.

Milling and grinding circuits
Flotation circuits
Leaching systems
Crushing and screening
Conveying and feed control
Thickening and clarification
Reagent and water systems
Plant-wide coordination and optimization
Licensing Tiers

Flexible access paths for engineers, universities, and industry

Smart APC licensing tiers are coming soon. The goal is to make the platform accessible to control engineers at every stage, from learning and prototyping through evaluation and commercial deployment.

Coming Soon

Free Tier

Users will be able to start with the Smart APC control platform for free, including core building blocks for practical control development and learning.

What’s included Basic control modules such as PID controllers, maths blocks, and logic.
Who it’s for Control engineers, developers, and teams wanting to get started quickly.
Why it matters Makes advanced process control more accessible without a heavy entry barrier.
Positioning A practical starting point for building, testing, and learning on the platform.
Coming Soon

University Tier

Users will be able to register a university email and supporting documentation to access a full version of Smart APC for non-commercial projects.

Access model Registration with university email plus supporting documentation.
Usage scope Full software access for teaching, research, and other non-commercial projects.
Who it’s for Students, researchers, and academic departments working on APC-related projects.
Purpose Encourage learning, innovation, and wider adoption among future control engineers.
Coming Soon

Evaluation Tier

The Evaluation Tier will provide a full, limited-time licence for 90 days, allowing teams to properly assess Smart APC in their own environment.

Licence type Full-featured evaluation licence.
Duration 90 days.
Who it’s for Plants, engineering teams, and decision-makers assessing fit before purchase.
Goal Give users enough time to evaluate the platform on real use cases.
Coming Soon

Commercial Tier

The Commercial Tier will provide a full commercial single-use licence per purchase, supporting production deployment of Smart APC in operational environments.

Licence type Full commercial single-use licence per purchase.
Who it’s for Industrial users deploying Smart APC in live plant applications.
Deployment focus Intended for commercial production use with full platform capability.
Outcome A clear path from evaluation into long-term operational ownership.
Why Smart APC

A different model for advanced process control

Smart APC is being built around the belief that users should own their systems, understand their capability, and be able to extend that capability as the process demands.

1

Own the system

Give users direct understanding and control of the platform they rely on every day.

2

Adapt as needed

Extend functionality over time instead of being locked into a fixed, rigid implementation.

3

Stay hardware independent

Support flexibility across environments without unnecessary dependence on one vendor stack.

4

Scale capability

Move from a single control problem to broader process transformation on your own terms.

Smart APC is coming soon

A new approach to advanced process control is on the way — modular, extendable, hardware independent, and built to make powerful APC capability accessible to more control engineers.
