Effective stockpile management is essential to mine productivity, but stacker-reclaimers are often susceptible to periodic mechanical failures that, if not detected early enough, could cause unplanned downtime and lost productivity. Emerson works with mining operations to provide online and wireless condition monitoring systems that quickly expose elevating machinery stress, capture valuable data and integrate it all into a common software interface to enhance stacker-reclaimer operation.
You collect data from many machines, but having a single location where the data comes together and identifying troublemakers quickly would be more efficient. The process is simplified in AMS Machine Works because creating a database and configuring devices, allow the user to get started quickly and start identifying problems. AMS Machine Works combines predictive maintenance techniques with comprehensive analysis tools to provide easy and accurate assessment of the machinery health in the facility.
The new AMS Machine Works v1.7 is now available. See Features below for what’s new.
