Predict individual roller failure and eliminate the need for batch changeouts and eliminate belt damage on the conveyor shuttle that feeds multiple bins.
Wireless condition monitoring solutions
Smart-Idler – a solution to monitor conveyor rollers and predict their failure. The sensor replaces laborious routine inspections of rollers with a wireless and automated condition monitoring system that monitors roller properties such as temperature and vibration. Data collected helps identify and predict roller failure and thereby to avoid expensive downtimes.
Did you know what happens without Smart rollers installed?
Smart Rollers communicate wirelessly. The system automatically alerts an operator of any unusual idler conditions. It provides information in real time that may be used to make intelligent targeted decisions about idler maintenance schedules and inventory management. The system can be integrated with existing analytics and control platforms, and data historians.
Asset Wear Monitoring is an innovative wireless asset abrasive wear condition monitoring system, which intelligently predicts and reports failure in pipework, bins, chutes and wear plates located in harsh environments and exposed to abrasive industrial slurries or other production materials.
Wear Monitoring system will wirelessly monitor condition of all pipes in your processing circuit, cyclones, tailings lines, HDP, ceramic lined steel pipe, chutes, bins and hoppers. Any asset that transports abrasive material can be monitored to minimize critical failures and your operation risk.
The xBud™ is a highly agnostic wireless data acquisition and condition monitoring device coupled with a phone app for easy deployment. It allows a great deal of flexibility in its use and capability.
It measures and records baseline vibrating and angular conditions, automates anomaly/exception detection and sends the data to external software and control systems.
The 24/7 autonomous Vibration Analysis device BearingBud™ will allow you to detect any anomalies and send data through the gateway to the safety of the control room to alert the maintenance team to the exact location where action is required.
The key benefits of BearingBud™ wireless bearing condition monitoring are quick magnetic installation and early defect detection, allowing maintenance or repair to be scheduled when signs of impending failure are detected and preventing unscheduled conveyor downtime.
A wireless Inclinometer for Underground Longwall equipment automation. The Inclinometer represents a significant cost and deployment efficiency for Longwall operators seeking to obtain spatial information for their Longwall horizon control systems.
Monitor linear or oscillatory excitation. Synchronise devices on each side to detect any out of sync movement, indicating an issue.
ShakerBud™ gives you an insight into the condition of your shakers and screens, allowing you to reduce downtime and expenses by doing the right maintenance at the appropriate time.
Use as a simple pump cavitation detection system. Program the device to alert on anomaly or divergence from a standard deviation.
Case Studies with wireless condition monitoring and other technologies
Predict individual roller failure, eliminate the need for inspection personnel, avoid illegal statutory temperature breaches and increase conveyor reliability and personnel safety. All rollers are now monitored 24/7 and leading indicators of failure are reported to maintenance personnel in real time.
The implementation of the Mill Liner Wear Monitoring System in SAG mill liners showcases the transformative impact of data-driven maintenance strategies in the mining industry. By accurately predicting and managing liner wear, End-user not only improved operational efficiency and reduced costs but also ensured a safer work environment.
Monitor 35mm internal wear lining of the conveyor feed and reject bin. Eliminated inspections monthly over life of asset. Eliminated Unplanned Outage due to failure. Streamlined maintenance planning, ordering and fabrication.
Monitor 90deg sweeping bend 315mm SDR11 HDPE. The results were both safety and cost beneficial. Eliminated need for inspections. Eliminated Personnel exposure to working at heights. Eliminated Personnel exposure inside the operating plant. Eliminated Unplanned Outage due to failure.
The results from abrasive wear monitoring were extremely positive, providing improvements and cost savings in several areas. No production loss due to unplanned downtime. Zero environmental incidents. Improved community and public relations due to greatly reduced risk of environmental impact.
The introduction of xBud, a digital automation solution for underground Longwall machinery, has revolutionized the monitoring of Longwall Panline angular measurements. Developed in collaboration with Glencore Coal, xBud is the world’s first plug and play data acquisition device designed specifically for longwall machinery.
