Problem
Mining operations face significant risks from detached Ground Engaging Tools (GETs) entering crushing circuits, which can cause severe equipment damage and operational downtime. Additionally, unmonitored wear on bucket ear bushings leads to premature component failure and unplanned maintenance, impacting overall equipment availability and lifespan.
Solution
SISTRAT provides a wireless, real-time monitoring system designed to mitigate these operational risks in the mining sector. The SiGET solution detects and alerts operators to detached GETs, preventing them from entering crushing zones through immediate notifications sent to the operator's cabin and control dispatch. Concurrently, the BWear system monitors the wear levels of bucket ear bushings, enabling predictive maintenance scheduling to optimize component lifespan and avoid unscheduled equipment stoppages. These autonomous, wireless sensor solutions offer straightforward installation and data access via mobile applications and cloud platforms, enhancing operational efficiency and equipment reliability.
Target Audience
SISTRAT's primary customers are mining companies and heavy equipment operators seeking to improve operational safety and equipment maintenance through real-time monitoring solutions.
