Mining: fixed processing plant

Nisthora for mining: fixed processing plant.

Crushers, screens, conveyors and mills work under some of the hardest conditions in industry. Nisthora watches their readings, records every stop with its reason, and warns which asset needs maintenance soon.

The challenge

What gets in the way.

Hard wear

Liners, bearings, belts and gearboxes wear fast.

One stop stops the chain

If the primary crusher or main conveyor stops, the plant stops.

Remote and dusty

Assets are hard to reach and hard to inspect by eye.

On your shop floor

What Nisthora connects to and measures.

Machines

  • Primary and secondary crushers
  • Screens
  • Belt conveyors
  • Ball and SAG mills
  • Pumps and cyclones
  • Thickeners

Readings

  • Throughput (tonnes per hour)
  • Motor current and power
  • Bearing temperature and vibration
  • Belt speed and alignment
  • Mill load
  • Run / stop state

Typical stop reasons

  • Crusher blockage
  • Belt fault
  • Liner change
  • Planned maintenance
  • Feed shortage
  • Power interruption

These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.

Records

Records for every stop and reading

Every stop is logged with its reason, and every reading is kept in history for review.

A day with Nisthora

The main conveyor's drive bearing temperature rises over a week. The maintenance forecast shows the days left, and the bearing is changed in the planned weekly stop.

Example for illustration.

How Nisthora helps

Built for plants like yours.

Live status of every asset

Running, stopped or offline, with its key readings, live on one screen.

Maintenance forecast

Which asset needs maintenance in the next 30 days, how many days are left, and why.

Anomaly detection

Flags readings that are not normal for that asset, even inside the limits.

Alerts

Limits on any reading, sent in-app, by email, SMS, push or webhook, with escalation.

Downtime analysis

Every stop with its reason and length, and a Pareto of the biggest causes.

Root cause and fishbone

Find why a problem keeps coming back, and prove the fix.

Energy

Power use per asset and per area.

Works with your controllers

OPC UA, Modbus, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, MQTT and HTTP.
