Successful deployments
Jaw crusher at 840 m depth, 181 RPM. Two outer race bearing defects detected at an early stage. Planned maintenance instead of emergency shutdown.
Bently Nevada sensor connected to the PLC. Vibration threshold stops the crusher before catastrophic failure. Repair cost reduced by 80%.
Fleet of jaw and cone crushers. Artesis e-MCM detected defects without stopping production. 13 failures prevented, $270,000 saved in the first year.
