Hexagon HxGN MineOperate Asset Health software

Software platform tackles machine failure before it happens, extending equipment life

HEXAGON’s Mining division has introduced HxGN MineOperate Asset Health, a platform of servers and data-loggers designed to extend the life of mining equipment by helping maintenance and operations staff to identify machine health trends in real time and empowering them to improve efficiencies and minimize equipment downtime.

Asset Health addresses concerns such as unplanned equipment failures, visibility of equipment health, and provides analytics to make smart decisions in real time. By solving these issues and addressing potential failures before they happen, Asset Health can increase production via equipment uptime and lower maintenance costs, say Hexagon.

 

‘The integration of health products with our fleet-management system (FMS) will help customers to not only improve equipment performance, but also equipment availability and productivity,’ explained Marcelo Romero, senior product portfolio manager. ‘Offering an integrated solution enables Maintenance, Operations, and Planning to continuously improve the processes between their teams.’
 
Integrating with FMS on a common hardware platform that efficiently uses networking and server resources provides customers with a standard Hexagon solution for the life of their site and simplifies Asset Health installation for existing FMS customers.

Asset Health can be used to connect OEM-agnostic platforms for onboard data logging, telemetry and messaging. On-board alerts can be synchronized with the office, dispatch, reliability engineering, and maintenance centres.

‘Customers will now have unprecedented insight into their equipment fleets and will know when to take action,’ added Mr Romero.

Future development will see Asset Health implement analytics with machine learning models. This level of predictive maintenance will allow repair engineers to plan for and prevent downtime and lost revenue.

Hexagon are a global leader in digital solutions that create Autonomous Connected Ecosystems (ACE), a state where data is connected seamlessly through the convergence of the physical world with the digital, and intelligence is built in to all processes.

The company’s industry-specific solutions leverage domain expertise in sensor technologies, software and data orchestration to create Smart Digital Realities that improve productivity and quality across manufacturing, infrastructure, safety and mobility applications.
