Solidmesh - Industrial Automation
Automation's Diesel Engine Monitoring Gateway Deployment
Solidmesh Automation successfully deployed diesel engine monitoring gateways at two mining operations: a Gold Mine in Namibia and a Manganese Mine in South Africa.
- • Gateway Installation: Installing the gateways on the diesel-powered earthmoving machines.
- • Configuration and Setup: Configuring the gateways to transmit engine data wirelessly over cellular and Wi-Fi networks using the MQTT protocol.
- • Testing and Validation: Thoroughly testing the gateways to ensure proper data transmission and reception.
- • Integration with MQTT Broker: Integrating the gateway networks with an off-site MQTT broker for data handling and analysis.
Key achievements of the project:
Remote Engine Performance Monitoring:
The deployed gateways provided real-time data on engine parameters, allowing for remote monitoring and analysis.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency:
By monitoring engine performance, mining operations could identify areas for improvement, leading to increased efficiency and reduced downtime.
Condition Monitoring:
Remote monitoring of engine data helped to identify potential issues before they escalated, contributing to a safer operating environment.
Automation's involvement in a Dewatering Solution for DRC Mine
Automation successfully implemented an advanced control system for a copper mine. A comprehensive, multi-million USD de-watering solution for a large open pit copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was needed to reduce the risk of flooding the pit.
Automation's Textile Factory Revitalisation
Solidmesh Automation successfully modernized two aging textile machines for a leading South African textile factory. The factory, which operates a complete textile manufacturing process from raw cotton to finished garments, faced challenges due to the obsolescence of electronic control cards in their older equipment.
