AI-Powered Engineering for Mineral Processing Plant Design

OreNova enhances study phase engineering by integrating artificial intelligence into mechanical design workflows. The company provides services including equipment calculations, document generation, and materials of construction selection, enabling faster, more accurate, and fully auditable study deliverables. Additional automation capabilities are being developed and will be released progressively to expand OreNova’s AI driven engineering platform.

OreNova is well suited to all mineral processing projects, with particular value delivered during the study phase where timelines are tight, accuracy is critical, and multiple revisions or trade-off studies may be required.

The company’s AI-driven automation platform is especially effective on projects involving frequent flow-sheet updates or significant design iterations, enabling engineering teams to deliver consistent, auditable, and high-quality outcomes in reduced timeframes.

Major time savings are typically achieved on large-scale projects, where OreNova’s automation significantly reduces the engineering hours required for complex mechanical design tasks.

OreNova operates as a contract-based engineering partner, delivering defined scopes of work within assigned engineering hours. Proprietary AI software generates the initial deliverables, which are then reviewed and validated by two engineers, including a principal engineer with more than 35 years of mineral processing experience. This approach ensures both speed and technical integrity, with deliverables typically provided within five business days.

OreNova’s pricing model is designed to align with standard EPCM budgeting and cost-tracking frameworks. Work is billed on an hourly basis in line with traditional engineering practices, while AI-driven efficiency enables firms to achieve the same results at a lower overall cost than manual workflows. This approach provides tangible value while maintaining financial transparency and full compatibility with existing systems.

OreNova delivers highly accurate engineering outputs supported by a rigorous internal verification process. The company recognises that experienced engineering oversight is essential to ensure the quality and integrity of all documentation. The final deliverable is produced to the highest level of accuracy achievable based on the inputs provided, ensuring precision, reliability, and confidence in every study outcome.

OreNova is designed to complement existing engineering processes. The system integrates seamlessly with standard software tools and delivers outputs in familiar formats, ensuring an easy transition and minimal disruption to project teams. OreNova’s AI platform can also be tailored to align with each firm’s documentation standards and workflows, providing a customised solution that fits seamlessly within established engineering practices.

Yes. Confidentiality and data security are fundamental to OreNova’s operations. Client data is never used for AI model training without explicit written consent. However, we are open to collaborating with engineering firms that wish to develop custom AI tools tailored to their internal workflows, ensuring privacy is preserved at all times.

Simply reach out with a brief project scope or study outline. OreNova can arrange an introductory meeting to discuss the requirements in detail and ensure full alignment before proceeding. Following this, our team will define the engineering hours and provide a tailored engagement plan. Once confirmed, OreNova’s automation workflows can begin generating deliverables within days.
