Achieved 70% Reduction in downtime of conveyor failures with Ripik AI conveyor belt monitoring system. This ensured smoother operations, minimized downtime, and delivered significant cost savings.
Existing conveyor monitoring systems were inadequate, relying heavily on manual inspection, which was time-consuming, inconsistent, and unable to cover the entire belt effectively. Maintenance practices depended on constant human observation, often lacking attentiveness and leading to a reactive approach. This resulted in unexpected breakdowns and increased downtime.
Loose materials like bricks, scrap metal, and other debris often enter the material stream, causing repeated impact and abrasion on conveyors, chutes, and screens. This accelerates wear, increases the risk of equipment failure, and leads to frequent maintenance and unplanned downtime.
Gradual issues like scratches, cracks, and surface wear on conveyor belts often go unnoticed during routine checks, eventually leading to unexpected conveyor breakdowns and costly downtime.
Conveyor sway, often caused by misalignment, uneven loading, or worn-out rollers, leads to uneven belt wear, material spillage, and a higher risk of failures. If not corrected, it results in premature damage, safety risks, and costly downtime.
Misalignment and prolonged non-opening of pipe conveyors disrupt material flow, leading to blockages, increased wear, and unexpected plant shutdowns.
Over 100 potential foreign object failures were prevented in the first 3 months by shifting from delayed anomaly responses to instant notifications and proactive alerts.
Downtime from conveyor failures was reduced by 70% by shifting from reactive maintenance to predictive analytics, enabling proactive maintenance that automatically stops operations upon detecting foreign particles, preventing further damage.
