Know the energy per tonne at the crusher, the mill and the belt.

Mining runs on throughput and power. A mill running under-loaded or a conveyor running empty still burns energy. Kernopy ties every kWh to the tonnes it moved.

One moment on site

The data was there. Nobody could use it in time.

Today Found weeks later

Ore hardness changed overnight. The mill draws full power but throughput is down 12%. The shift report says production was normal.

With Kernopy Found in minutes

Kernopy shows kWh per tonne climbing in real time, so the feed blend changes before lunch instead of after the monthly review.

Live view

A reading on top. What it draws underneath.

Each stage shows a live value from its controller and the power it draws right now. Mill is drifting, so it is highlighted. Values are simulated.

What gets measured

Numbers your team argues about today, measured instead.

Example figures for a mid-sized site. Kernopy calculates yours from your own controllers and meters.

What we read

Signals your systems already produce.

Kernopy reads them from the controllers, meters and building systems you already run. Nothing gets replaced. Each signal gets one name and one meaning, then flows into every dashboard, alert and report.

kWh per tonne by circuit

Crushing, grinding and flotation on the same unit.

Idle and empty running

Belts, pumps and trucks that run without moving ore.

Remote sites keep their data

Edge buffers readings when the site link drops.

Bring one line or one plant room. Leave with its data working.

Send us the machines, controllers and building systems you want to start with. In the first session we map them, connect a pilot and show energy, efficiency and downtime as live numbers.
