Digital monitoring and automation for crushers and screens can help improve the performance and longevity of crushers used in mining operations.

The Sandvik Digital Assistant (SAM) has been developed in line with the concept of a proactive user journey, to provide instant support for various steps in the relationship between the customer and the original-equipment manufacturer, says Sandvik Rock Processing digital product manager Ali Jumaa. SAM combines a range of tools, information and guidance, acting as an always-on digital assistant for daily operations.

“For instance, maintenance and site managers can track their equipment’s performance in real-time from the convenience of a laptop, tablet or mobile phone,” he explains. “At the same time, the mine’s purchasing department can access the SAM web shop to find the correct part numbers, create shopping lists and submit orders.”

Service technicians use SAM to find up-to-date documentation and manuals for equipment, while operators can find ways to increase operational uptime and availability. Operating data from the crusher is collected by sensors and transmitted through a gateway into cloud storage, where it can be analysed and utilised in a range of calculations, algorithms and models.

“The data and analysis allow customers to finetune their performance, while developing more effective predictive maintenance and ensuring no unplanned stoppages,” says Jumaa. “SAM provides customers with real-time insight into their operations supported by fact based recommended actions that inform the most appropriate operating and maintenance strategies.”

The SAM system represents data visually to the user, allowing customers to quickly visualise how long the crusher has been operational or has been idling, for instance. The platform’s interface is also intuitive and user-friendly, adds Jumaa, eliminating the need for extensive training.
