Wi-care Premiere: Ultralow Speed Wireless Vibration Monitoring in Mining Industry
Mining industry processes involve a lot of critical, ultralow speed machinery. Condition monitoring is fundamental on such assets as the consequences of a failure may quickly become catastrophic: Safety issues, exponential repair cost, unexpected shutdown time...
Vibration analysis is worldwide recognized as a best practice on ultralow speed assets. But safety and environment issues related to mining & extraction transform wired data collection (manual or online) in a real nightmare.
The opportunity of wireless vibration monitoring is obvious but the challenge is different : collecting reliable data on ultralow speed machinery (< 15 rpm) requires long acquisition time, usually non compatible with wireless solutions due to high power consumption.
Wi-care patented technology solves this problem, combining a high quality of data (noise floor < 10-6 g's) with a long battery life (5 years/1 acquisition every 15 minutes).
This is not lab testing or engineering calculation! This is real life results from several Wi-care units running every day on mining sites worldwide.
