Reduce downtime by detecting anomalies in real time

Prevent costly failures in critical industrial environments

In the mining industry, operational continuity depends on a precise logistics chain - every link must function seamlessly. One of the most critical components is the crusher, which reduces excavated material into particles suitable for further processing. A malfunction in this system can cause significant slowdowns or even complete shutdowns, leading to major financial losses. Traditional monitoring methods, which rely on manual particle size checks, often fall short of ensuring effective, real-time oversight.

A digital vision-based solution for continuous monitoring

Explorai has developed an artificial intelligence solution using advanced computer vision to address this issue. The system analyzes, in real time, the size of each rock as it exits the crusher on the conveyor. It compares these measurements against expected thresholds and immediately issues alerts when significan deviations are detected. This enables operations to quickly identify any anomalies in the crushing process - potential indicators of mechanical or operational failures - before they escalate.

Proactive monitoring for operational reliability

With automated anomaly detection now in place, the customer benefits from a continuous monitoring system that is far more responsive than manual spot checks. The solution enables early detection of performance deviations, significantly lowering the risk of major breakdowns. By identifying anomalies before they cause critical damage, the company enhances operational stability and reduces maintenance and repair costs.

Towards predictive maintenance in the mining sector

This project represents a shift toward smarter, more proactive equipment management in mining. By combining computer vision with artificial intelligence, the solution provides unmatched visibility into crusher operations while integrating seamlessly with existing workflows. It positions the customer as a pioneer in the adoption of advanced technologies - strengthening resilience and setting new standards for operational performance in the mining industry.
