Real-time Filtration Analytics and Automatic Reporting

One of Roxia’s European customers with a long history in international mining and mineral processing decided to start an IIoT project together with us. The installation of the Roxia Malibu^TM solution for a single hose pump in a gold mine located in Turkey enabled automatic reporting and filtration analytics in real-time.

The preliminary idea was to monitor pump performance and health, as it was a critical piece of equipment in gold processing. Roxia supplied all necessary hardware including a wide set of instrumentation, such as vibration, temperature, and pressure sensors. Those sensors were connected to the new Roxia SmartCube™ edge device, which analyses the data and transmits it to the Roxia Malibu Cloud system. The system and its customized user interface provided a good overview of the pump’s current status, performance, and maintenance needs – all in real-time, without the need to change any existing control infrastructure on site. The gained data is presented in a user-friendly format and the system can be accessed with a normal web browser or mobile phone.

The latest upgrade was concerning the fourth filter press used in the gold concentrate dewatering process. The project started at that time when due to the COVID-19 pandemic, traveling was restricted. But because the customer environment was already well known to our Roxia Automation Engineers, the new SmartCube installation was fully completed by the customer’s Automation Engineers, and it was done within one hour of work.
