Metso Outotec is expanding its cloud-based Metrics monitoring-system portfolio to customers’ stationary screening equipment.
With its 24/7 online monitoring capabilities, the Finnish company says Metrics offers improved safety, increased uptime and throughput, and reduced unplanned maintenance. It enables operators, controllers and service professionals to see real-time analysis of vibrating screen performance and bearing condition. Metrics is designed for intuitive operation. A screen dashboard with OEM insights is designed to make it possible to quickly detect potential issues and take corrective action in time.
In June, Metso Outotec announced a global cooperation agreement with Dynamox, which offers a condition-monitoring platform. Metrics for screens is the first solution utilising Dynamox’s instrumentation that can be complemented with value-added services and remote-monitoring capabilities in the customer’s value chain.
“The customer feedback received has helped us to offer a solution focused on customer centricity and sustainability,” says Jan Wirth, technology director with Metso Outotec’s screening solutions business. “Metrics for screens helps customers to optimise their process, as they can easily see how the changes implemented have impacted their screening operations. In addition, continuous monitoring helps in the avoidance of several potential breakdowns. It also has a positive impact on sustainability, as running the screen in an optimal way enables increased uptime and less consumption of media, spare parts, oil and energy.”
By combining Metrics with its global service footprint, Metso Outotec says that with its distributor partners it can support customers in making data-driven decisions that impact their screening operations.
