Capacity Assurance

The MineCare system is a maintenance software tool designed to

minimize maintenance response time, increase planning efficiency,
provide critical failure analysis information, and report key
performance indicators (KPIs) to maintenance personnel in real
time. The system provides end users with the tools necessary to
turn Data into Information and Information into Action.

Reliability Centered Maintenance

relies on the ability to gather,
store, and analyze detailed data.
Through a detailed Failure Mode
and Effect Analysis (FMEA),
maintenance engineers are able
to identify failure modes, cause,
effect, severity, and recommended
actions. MineCare data enables
policies and procedures to be
developed based on the severity
of the potential outcome, and
ultimately an accurate FMEA. More
importantly, once failure modes and effects have been
identified, users are able to determine abnormal conditions and
initiate procedures proactively rather than reactively handling
failures. Capacity Assurance is achieved by identifying weak links
and establishing policies that minimize failures in those areas.
Modular introduced the mining industry to Real-Time Maintenance Management in 2004, and
continues to evolve the MineCare solution as the industry realizes the benefits and opportunities
that real-time data, predictive data, and failure analysis data collection provide. MineCare v2.0
incorporates many improvements to every area of the maintenance management process,
providing the information and tools necessary for a mine maintenance organization to react,
track, document, research, and resolve ongoing and future mobile equipment issues.

Maintenance efficiency requires a knowledge of repair procedures and equipment health indicators, coupled with
an understanding of production goals set by the mine. Reliability requires a commitment to research, analysis,
process, and failure elimination. The MineCare system allows maintenance personnel to store and standardize pro-
cedures, while providing the data needed to prevent failures that result in excess and unplanned spending when
components do not achieve their expected life.

Real-Time Diagnostics
Diagnose issues prior to dispatching technicians to the field.
Stop equipment units before they incur excessive damage.
Event Generation, Monitoring, and Documenting functions
enable proactive prevention of equipment failure using OEM
troubleshooting recommendations or site-specific thresholds.
Reports can also be provided prior to Planned Maintenance,
ensuring that each machine’s monitoring system is
prepared to monitor equipment health during the following
production period.

Time Tracking
Track and document specifics surrounding equipment status
events rather than just tracking and documenting information
The Real-Time Monitoring Utility provides a remote view of
about machine generated events. Perform root cause analysis, equipment vital signs information.
improving specific KPIs for MTTR and MTBF that have
historically been tracked and reported from the fleet
management system.

Other Advanced Features

Alarm notifications and vital signs snapshots can be
controlled directly from the Event Handling utility. This
includes audible alarms, automatic e-mails, event source,
system, subsystem, sensor fault detection, potential
cause, troubleshooting steps, recommended actions, and
additional information settings for OEM Events. Maintenance
personnel can also export real-time monitoring, snapshot,
or trending data into a CSV file for further analysis.

Unparalleled OEM Interfaces

MineCare is the only system available with plug-and-play
interfaces to the majority of mining equipment manufacturers.
It is the only real-time maintenance monitoring system
that can be deployed on many types of mining machinery
with little preparation, allowing maintenance departments
to quickly monitor and prevent avoidable maintenance costs.
