Modular says its MineCare 3 solution eliminates the need for onsite server infrastructure,
making it
especially attractive for small mines and mining contractors as a subscription-based platform that
allows
the system to be turned on and off and moved between sites with ease. It can be used as a stand-alone
application or combined with Modular’s DISPATCH Fleet Management System.
Understanding Modular Mining Systems has unveiled its
third-generation Maintenance Management
solution, MineCare 3. First introduced in
2003, MineCare, according to the Tucson,
Arizona, USA-based company, was designed
from the start to provide fleet operators
with the information and tools needed
to monitor fleet health in real time. The
MineCare 3 solution builds upon this foundation
with new features, benefits and
capabilities, including:
• Cloud-based deployment for simplified
installation, upgrades and management.
• Geographic map view for heightened
mine visibility in real time.
• Advanced, intelligent data collection,
monitoring and analytics capabilities.
• Real-time visual equipment health tracking.
• Component-level problem detection and
alarms.
• Multi-equipment trending to predict
potential failures and assist in proactive
planning.
• Streamlined, user-configurable dashboards
for at-a-glance information.
According to Modular, MineCare 3’s advanced
cloud computing, data monitoring,
and analytics capabilities help resolve
equipment issues quickly by predicting
specific failure modes before they occur
and enabling a condition-based maintenance
approach.
Users can specify continuous or conditional
data-monitoring options via dynamic,
user-configurable dashboards, in support
of specific maintenance management
goals, and then perform predictive trending
for early detection of abnormal behavior,
rates of change, and parameters outside of
normal operating ranges.
These capabilities also minimize interruption
to daily workflows and deploy
application updates to multiple devices
simultaneously.
Modular noted that the introduction of a
cloud-based, Software as a Service (SaaS)
subscription configuration, eliminates IT
infrastructure investments, improves data
storage efficiency, and simplifies installation,
upgrades, and management.
MineCare 3 can deploy as a standalone
application or it can integrate with Modular’s
DISPATCH Fleet Management system (FMS).
