The products are also currently being used for projects by a growing number of process areas throughout general industry. CSense Process+ was developed by Crusader Systems to fulfil a need for maintaining process plant base layer control systems.

Initial development work began at Impala Mineral Processes UG2 concentrator in Rustenburg. After a successful evaluation, the CSense Process+ is to be installed on all of the plants at the mineral processes complex.

Maintenance engineer from the Chrome International plant in Newcastle, Erich Holm, outlined the cost savings that were achieved at their plant as a direct result of installing the system. They discovered that their control problems could be identified and rectified quickly. With optimised control, they would be able to realise cost savings of R200 000 p.a. and reductions in downtime of at least R300 000 p.a.
