Mining

Client: Open-pit Mining Operation

Challenge:

The mining company dealt with critical equipment running in harsh, high-load conditions, leading to accelerated wear and frequent breakdowns. Maintenance was largely reactive, and the spares inventory was unoptimized, affecting overall productivity.

Solution:

ITXH deployed its AMI platform to implement a condition-based maintenance approach using vibration, temperature, and runtime data. Failure analytics were used to track root causes and refine scheduling strategies for field teams. The platform is also integrated with their spares management system.

Results:

  • 25% reduction in maintenance expenditure through optimized scheduling.
  • Extended useful life of assets by over two years in several key categories.
  • Significant safety improvements through proactive failure detection.
