Industries / Heavy industrial

Heavy processes, run with precision.

Steel, cement, metals and mining run on large, hazardous assets and hard-won operator experience. Mentis keeps that experience on the floor and makes it available to every shift.

The challenge

What makes heavy industrial hard.

Common problems we hear from operations, maintenance and training leaders.

01 — Asset reliability

Asset reliability

Unplanned stops of kilns, furnaces and crushers are hugely costly.

02 — Harsh conditions

Harsh conditions

Heat, dust and heavy equipment make inspection dangerous.

03 — Experience gap

Experience gap

Process know-how takes years to build and is hard to pass on.

How Mentis helps

Three agents at work in heavy industrial.

Each agent is trained on your documents, machines and experts — and runs where you choose, including fully on-premise.

Maintenance & Operations Agent

Process and asset know-how, on demand.

Operators and maintenance crews ask about kilns, furnaces, mills and conveyors, and get answers from process data, manuals and past breakdowns.

L&D Agent

Pass on decades of process experience.

The agent turns experienced operators' knowledge into courses on process control, safe operation and maintenance — and retrains crews on new equipment.

  • Process operation courses from expert input
  • Safety and isolation training
  • Retraining for new equipment and methods

Vision Agent

Eyes on the hottest, dustiest jobs.

The agent catalogues inspections and verifies critical activities — guards, isolations, wear and PPE — reducing the time people spend in hazardous zones.

  • Photo-verified inspections of wear parts
  • Guarding and isolation checks
  • PPE and danger-zone monitoring
