To optimise the use of heavy cleaning machines in surface mining, we have developed an simple and cost efficient measurement system. The system measures the height of muck built-up at critical positions, such as at conveyor belt head stations.
The height of muck built-up is measured by means of a radar sensor. Due to this, it is also suited to measure in very dusty environments.
The sensor values are continuously captured and verified by means of our Smart Sensor Interface. In case that the measured values exceed a freely adjustable threshold, an arbitrary number of persons can be notified via SMS or E-Mail.
The Smart Sensor Interface uses GPRS-based transmission to send the notifications, so that no cable or W-LAN connection is required. That way, also distant and inaccessible places can be monitored.
- Dust resistant measurements due to radar sensors.
- Height measurements with 1 Hz.
- Measurement accuracy of 1 cm.
- Numerous interfaces allow the use of various sensors.
- Complex on-site data evaluation is possible.
- Storage of large amounts of data.
- GPRS-based messaging system.
- Notification of arbitrary numbers of persons via SMS or E-Mail.
- Remote access to data and for system configuration.
