Case Study

In addressing the challenge of monitoring critical mining equipment in harsh conditions, a multinational mining, metals, and petroleum company partnered with Nanoprecise Sci Corp to implement a remote condition monitoring solution. The Nanoprecise team installed battery-powered wireless sensors on various equipment sets. Upon installation, these sensors immediately began sensing and transmitting data to our secure  Machine Health Analytics platform, using an encrypted network, seamlessly integrating Edge and Cloud computing. The platform then swiftly conducted data analysis with the help of advanced AI + Physics-based algorithms. 

The advanced solution detected and responded to a Stage 4 unbalance, a critical fault mode, by notifying reliability teams and facilitating immediate corrective actions. This dynamic approach to predictive maintenance not only enabled the timely identification of anomalies but also facilitated corrective measures to ensure swift resolution. 

The outcome was significant – over 12 hours of downtime saved and an impressive 20X Return on Investment (RoI). This success story highlights the transformative impact of Nanoprecise Sci Corp’s tailored solutions, showcasing enhanced reliability and substantial cost savings in mining operations. This implementation showcased the efficacy of our cutting-edge solution in enhancing operational reliability for the mining industry, particularly in navigating challenging and unpredictable working environments.
