Live Conveyor System Publication in Chile's Financial Daily
The future of conveyor belt monitoring is already in operation.
LIVE CONVEYOR delivers real-time visibility into the status of conveyor belts, enabling early detection of anomalies and anticipation of events that could impact safety, asset availability, and operational continuity.
Real Success Story: SPGO together with PPI in Codelco's DMH
The true test of any Mining 4.0 technology lies in its real-world results. A prime example of this is our work with Precision Pulley & Idler (PPI) on the installation of LIVE CONVEYOR on the Overland enclosed conveyor belt at Codelco's Ministro Hales Division (DMH) .
This project incorporated smart sensors to achieve continuous visibility into the conveyor belt's operational status. The results were immediate.
The system generated automatic alerts (via the platform, email, and phone notifications) that allowed for the timely identification and replacement of the component. This early detection prevented a major failure and unscheduled downtime, optimizing maintenance management and strengthening operational safety.
The discovery: Thanks to this technology, it was possible to detect early on a temperature increase in a roller with a stuck bearing failure, which reached high temperatures.
Towards a more efficient and safe Mining 4.0
LIVE CONVEYOR represents the ultimate solution for smart mining. By transforming real-time monitoring and advanced analytics into timely decisions, we are driving the development of systems that protect and secure the industry's key strategic assets.
The experience gained at DMH and the validation by the CNP confirm the enormous potential of this technology to build a more predictive, safe, and efficient mining industry.
