Mining: conveyor belt monitoring

Challenge

Belt tears and splice wear lead to unplanned downtime. Visual inspections are infrequent, subjective and require stopping the conveyor.

Solution

Industrial cameras and laser scanners above the belt. AI detects belt surface and splice defects and pinpoints them on the belt. The system keeps a belt map and an event log and, on a critical event, sends a stop signal to the control system.

Technologies

Machine vision
Laser profile scanning
On-site server at the customer
Integration with process control systems

Result

The belt is monitored continuously, with no stoppages for inspection.
The defect history is objective.
A basis for condition-based maintenance is now in place.
The system operates reliably under vibration and dust.

Status

Pilot completed.

Also applicable to

Belt monitoring is also applicable in the chemical industry and building materials production.
