Sensitive Inspection automates Vale’s Lift Line routes

Lift Lines are pieces of safety equipment that complies with Brazilian standard NR-35, which is essential for Vale’s teams working at height. Line inspection is considered a CAR activity (critical activity requirement). On the Vitória-Minas Railroad (Estrada de Ferro Vitória-Minas (EFVM)), which currently has 88 lift lines, the process was poorly automated, generating more exposure… Continue reading Sensitive Inspection automates Vale’s Lift Line routes

Dynamox’s solution identifies bearing housing defect 

The Dynamox solution was responsible for the early identification of a defect in the bearing housings of a modular vibrating screen.     Located at a client’s plant in Antônio Dias – MG, the vibrating screen is considered a critical asset for the production process and is therefore monitored by Dynamox’s wireless system.   At the end of… Continue reading Dynamox’s solution identifies bearing housing defect 

Dynamox’s sensors identify failures in a conveyor belt pulley side frame

Dynamox’s technology once again proved effective in detecting failures in advance. This time, in identifying a problem in the pulley side frame, a complex component to analyze, in Vale‘s conveyor belts. Understand the process that led to problem identification and maintenance:  The following images show the Spectral Envelope graphs, including the circular waveform, before and… Continue reading Dynamox’s sensors identify failures in a conveyor belt pulley side frame

Complete guide to Predictive Maintenance

Predictive maintenance, according to the Brazilian law NBR5462, is “maintenance that ensures the monitoring of assets, based on the systematic application of analysis techniques. Using centralized supervision or sampling methods, it aims to minimize preventive maintenance to a minimum and reduce corrective maintenance”. It is a strategy applied mainly to predict and avoid failures in… Continue reading Complete guide to Predictive Maintenance
