System is completely digital, sees no boundaries in DCS,
and can use data from anywhere in the mill to adjust opera-
tional parameters anywhere else in the mill.
The process of integrating the VisioFroth ™ system and
its control software OCS-4D© with Buick Mill’s specific
requirements to create the Digital One expert system high-
lights the flexibility, modularity, and robustness of the setup
and will help pave the way for further improvements.
It has already been shown with Buick Mill and Brushy
Creek Mill that VisioFroth ™ and Digital One can interface
effectively with both Rockwell DCS and Emerson DeltaV
DCS, the two most dominant DCS systems in the mining
industry. Digital One provides a universal digital expert
control system at each of the Doe Run mill sites. Digital
One can be a powerful enterprise expert control and oper-
ating system with considerable flexibility for milling and
flotation mineral processing plants in the mining industry.
