Process IQ recently opened a new office in Toronto, Canada to accommodate rapid growth in the process automation and digital transformation in the mining and minerals processing industry. Process IQ focuses on delivering process optimisation to the mining and mineral processing industry to help with increasing throughout recovery and efficiency.

In addition to the corporate headquarters in Perth, Australia, the new office will be led by Julian Knight, recently appointed as Managing Director Process IQ Canada. “The decision to expand our presence into Canada was a logical step in our business growth strategy,” said Pieter Strobos, Business Director. “We had considerable interest from mining companies this region. Timing was everything as the opportunity came to appoint Julian Knight to head the operation with his recent relocation to Toronto with his young family.”

“I have seen the Process IQ brand pass my desk often over the years” states Knight. “I understand the solutions that Process IQ offers and worked with a lot of their technology before and I really believe in them. The solution can be brought online very quickly and add enormous value to clients. We live in a world where global industries can be controlled remotely, however the mining industry is still lagging in this regard and I see massive opportunities to improve this with automation. Process IQ is an innovative company that makes a real difference in productivity on the ground.”

The company’s solutions include its Value Invention Process (VIP) Platform, which brings together technology, equipment, systems and processes within the mineral processing sector through data management; VIP Platform comprises hardware and software facilities that assist and support applications for mining clients using the internet or on-site network to connect devices and equipment.
