Asset Health Analyzer (AHA)
Asset Performance Analyzer (APA)
In the high-stakes world of mining, operational efficiency and equipment reliability are critical to success. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by the industry, Rithmik Solutions proudly introduces a comprehensive suite designed to transform the way you manage and optimize your assets: the AI-powered Asset Health Analyzer (AHA) and Asset Performance Analyzer (APA).
Asset Health Analyzer (AHA) is our base AI-driven predictive maintenance solution. Designed to increase equipment availability and lower maintenance costs, AHA also reduces fuel burn by up to 15%. At the heart of AHA is its ability to capture deviations from normal operation and identify failure mode signatures from equipment.
One of the standout features of AHA is its compatibility with your existing data collection systems and reporting platforms. This means you can gain valuable insights without the need for additional screens or the hassle of replacing your current infrastructure. AHA works seamlessly with any brand of mining mobile equipment, and it doesn’t require any added sensors or hardware. The result? A smoother integration process and immediate, actionable insights.
AHA provides earlier and more accurate alarms without the need for threshold-setting, ensuring that you can address issues before they become costly problems. By offering performance comparisons across equipment types, brands, models, and geographies, AHA helps you understand and benchmark the performance of your entire fleet. Moreover, it identifies operator behaviors that may be causing equipment issues and highlights instances where mechanics are not addressing the root causes of equipment failures.
Why AHA Matters
In the mining industry, companies typically spend a staggering 20% to 50% of their annual operating budgets on equipment repair. This significant expenditure highlights the critical need for effective predictive maintenance solutions. AHA addresses this need by preventing costly repairs and extending the lifespan of your equipment, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Elevate Your Operations with the Asset Performance Analyzer (APA)
Building on the robust capabilities of AHA, Asset Performance Analyzer (APA) offers advanced AI-driven solutions for optimizing productivity and efficiency. APA is designed to take your operations to the next level by enhancing fuel efficiency, improving load management, and monitoring environmental impacts, operator performance, and equipment health.
APA identifies inefficiencies and allows operators to optimize fuel burn by operating within the design envelope, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. By ensuring payload system accuracy, APA reduces loading variability and helps achieve target payloads consistently. Environmental monitoring is another key feature, enabling quick identification and intervention in cases of poor road conditions, spill rock, and other constraints that can disrupt production cycles.
Operator performance is critical to the success of mining operations. APA benchmarks and monitors performance across specific haul cycles and fleets, providing valuable data to inform coaching and supervisor feedback. Additionally, APA tracks the health impacts of equipment on productivity, offering insights into both single equipment and interactions between multiple pieces of equipment.
The Business Impact of APA
Factors like poor maintenance, suboptimal equipment use, and lack of real-time data analysis contribute to mining productivity losses. With APA, expect a 10-20% improvement in unitary production cost ($/ton hauled).
The Unique Advantages of APA
APA is not just about identifying issues; it’s about understanding the broader business impact. Poor asset health translates to reduced productivity, and APA provides the context needed to make informed decisions. It differentiates between asset health, environmental, and operator-driven issues, ensuring that you can address the total input variables to achieve optimal output.
High-fidelity data is crucial for generating accurate insights, and Rithmik excels in this area. Our robust data cleansing models can handle typically unusable data, including fractured and inconsistent temporal data or disconnected sources. This capability sets us apart from competitors who rely on low-frequency sample points.
The Next Step: Transforming Insights into Action
With the insights provided by AHA and APA, you can identify and solve inefficiencies, making informed decisions that enhance productivity. Our solutions are vendor and equipment-agnostic for input, and their output can integrate seamlessly with your existing tools, ensuring flexible and comprehensive solutions.
