Stevin Rock – How Integrated Monitoring Cut Water and Energy Waste

Introduction

Water and energy consumption play a critical role in large-scale mining and crushing operations. Limited visibility into utility usage often leads to inefficiencies, wastage, and higher operational costs. Stevin Rock required a centralized approach to monitor and control water and energy consumption across its crushing operations. To address this, Stevin Rock partnered with Covansys Technologies to implement an integrated water and energy monitoring solution. The system enabled real-time visibility into utility consumption and supported data-driven initiatives to reduce waste and improve sustainability.
