Bradken SmartLiner

Optimize fixed plant assets wear management with real-time information, less downtime , and operational risks while improving sustainability and safety.

Wear control in fixed plant assets using conventional monitoring techniques entails physical assessment that is dangerous and time consuming. Effective, precise, and secure wear management systems have never been more important. The Bradken SmartLiner system rises to these challenges directly.

Bradken SmartLiner with remote real-time electronic wear sensors with monitoring and forecasting capabilities changes the way operators can monitor their assets. Using real-time data and accurate end-of-life wear estimations, it allows for the scheduling of maintenance, which minimizes unplanned downtime and operational hazards while supporting sustainability goals with unnecessary change outs.

Improved Sustainability: SmartLiner enables liner replacement to be done in a planned manner at the most appropriate time thus minimizing wastage. It reduces the transport and manufacturing processes which support operational sustainability goals.

Reduced Maintenance: SmartLiner supports efficient planning of maintenance and reduces the chances of having an unplanned downtime with the help of Bradken Insite® analytics and wear reports. It delivers visual real-time information on enabled assets on site.

Increased Efficiency: The real-time data feed from SmartLiner reduces and can eliminate the time that is needed for the manual inspection of the stockpile bins and the inaccessible chute wear liners. This is a result of the system being able to be fitted to metallic or ceramic liner chute.

Improved Safety: Operators can monitor wear levels remotely , removing them from hazardous onsite locations and improves inspection efficiencyof dangerous areas such as chutes and hoppers. This minimizes risks that are related to confined spaces, hot environments, and heights on structures and other buildings.

More Accuracy and Dependability with Sensors: Bradken’s SmartLiner system, which is fitted with electric wear sensors, incorporates the latest wear sensors into Bradken liners. These wear detection sensors are designed to accurately measure lining wear sensor thickness. Every sensor constantly observes the wear surface and delivers information on the wear condition of the mining chute liners, including ceramic liner chutes. This technology makes maintenance decisions to be made based on accurate and updated information hence improving the overall system management wear. Bradken’s SmartLiner sensors provide valuable information on the liners’ remaining useful life, enhancing productivity and wear management processes.

Integration of Data with Gateway and Receiver: Bradken’s SmartLiner gateway and receiver system provides reliable communication between wear sensors and the Bradken cloud. Every gateway can accommodate data from up to 100 sensors in various assets, making it possible to have full coverage of a site. The gateway collects wear data from the sensors and then transmits the data to the Bradken cloud in real-time. This setup makes it possible to access data from any connected device and hence monitor and analyze data in real time. Additional gateways can be added to expand coverage so that every area of your operation receives the benefits of Bradken’s SmartLiner’s sophisticated wear analysis.

Easy to use and holistic data presentation tool: The Bradken Insite® interface takes raw wear data and delivers it in an easy to read visual dashboard. This user-friendly platform enables the operators to monitor the real-time data through the 2D and 3D heat maps and gain a clear picture of the wear pattern of all the assets. It allows users to switch between the different views, zoom into the high-wear areas, and study the wear surface conditions and the wear surface pattern design. It also offers wear prediction in terms of the useful life in mm and percentage of the useful life left on the asset. The interface has features for filtering and exporting data such as a Bill of Material for procurement to enhance maintenance planning and resource management. This approach makes it easy to manage wear and enables the operation to be efficient.
