While traditional monitoring methods in mining focus on established practices, they often lack the agility needed for today's rapidly evolving business demands, such as digital transformation, sustainability, and heightened safety requirements. I-MOST is designed to address these new imperatives by leveraging advanced technologies like real-time data analytics, predictive maintenance, and automation. Our platform offers precise, proactive monitoring that not only enhances operational efficiency but also supports compliance with emerging environmental standards. I-MOST is positioned to transform monitoring by offering unparalleled responsiveness, scalability, and adaptability, providing mining operators with a clear competitive advantage:
• Increased plant availability,
• Reduced environmental impact,
• Lower operating costs,
• Reduced labor resources,
• And increased “green” credentials.
The system currently integrates directly onto any control system and maps any available parameters through secure protocols to a centralized and secure database in the cloud. A single piece of hardware with minimal space requirements is required.
As an example on one product range (ie compression crushers), IMOST is able to monitor the following condition aspects:
• Crusher Gap Calibration
• Hydraulic System Health Status
• Crusher Heat Generation
• Crusher Efficiency
• Power Curve
• Wear Factor
• Out of Threshold Alarms
• Real time Operating Parameters' Visualizations
• Spares Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Prediction
• Crush Failure Predictions
• Customer Support
• Spares Inventory Planning
• Advise Client on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (Availability, Performance, and Quality)
• Enhanced Productivity
• Enhanced Client Relationship
• Quicker Intervention to Failures
• Guide Troubleshooting activities (provide insights to root causes)
• Identify Equipment Design Improvement Areas
• Monitor Production and Costs
• Manage Staff & Operational Inefficiencies
• Cross Reference Plants and Equipment
• Access to the operation through online portal, anytime and anywhere
• Optimize Production
• Reduce Operating Costs
• Reduce Unplanned Downtime
• Reduce Health and Safety Incidents
• Plan Maintenance
• Manage inventory levels
• Enhanced production output
