| Chassis & Components | Equipment KPIs (e.g., Reliability) |
mGuard®MachineWatch™ helps to provide:
More time to schedule and prepare for needed repairs Useful analysis that aids in determining the severity of a failure Improved Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) Improved Reliability, Utilization and Mean Time Between Outage (MTBO) Increased production and reduced unscheduled downtimeIt helps maintenance professionals by increasing awareness of how their mine assets/machines are performing. It does this by alerting them to any potential conditions that may result in an unplanned shutdown event or catastrophic failure. This increased awareness, along with a proactive approach to maintenance, can provide increases in productivity and help with scheduling maintenance intervals.
mGuard® MachineWatch™ provides service managers, technicians and maintenance crews with a powerful tool that is specifically designed to provide valuable insight into the performance and health status of their mine assets.
This advanced technology is proven to provide:
More time to schedule and prepare for needed repairs
Useful analysis that aids in determinng the severity of a failure
Reduced unecessary and/or unscheduled repairs
Improved mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
Improved Reliabiilty, Utilization and Mean Time Between Outage (MTBO)
Increased production and reduced unscheduled down time

What is it?
What is it?
mGuard® MachineWatch™ is remote condition monitoring for your mining assets (i.e., mobile, field, and ancillary equipment). Monico’s Engineers work with you to determine exact hardware requirements to collect, aggregate, cleanse, translate, buffer and transmit your real-time stamped data to MonicoLive™ servers.
MachineWatch is built on the trusted MonicoLive™ platform hosted in the Microsoft® Azure cloud. Our automated analyses and notifications are completely setup and managed by Monico’s Subject Matter Experts and specifically designed to save you money through improved asset reliability, reduced unscheduled shutdowns and improved preventative maintenance planning.
What does it do?
What does it do?
mGuard® MachineWatch™ is a tool that provides maintenance managers, technicians, and reliability engineers with improved insight as to how the assets, and the individual components of each asset are performing and their health statuses.

Condition Monitoring is using data from mining assets to evaluate the state of components of the system to determine if any of those components are beginning to show signs of failure.
The purpose of mGuard® MachineWatch™ is to run real-time analytics on mining machines to determine the status of their health.
How does it work?
How does it work?
mGuard® MachineWatch™ collects real-time streaming data from the mining assets; including the engine, chassis, drive, hydraulic and grease systems from the ECM’s.

Requirements
What is required?
Hardware
mGuard® MachineWatch™ does not require expensive sensor package addons
MachineWatch™ remote condition monitoring can be accomplished with the installation of a data acquisition gateway (mCore®SDR), and a wiring kit.
If an ethernet access to a network is not available, a cellular modem can be installed.
All of the data acquisition, automated analytics and alert/notifications are accomplished with typical sensor packages. Additional expensive sensor solutions are not required.
INTERFACE CABLING
Every installation of mGuard® MachineWatch™ comes with interface cabling preconfigured to connect to the compressor package assets.

AUTOMATED ANALYTICS
mGuard® MachineWatch™ includes real-time analytics that run unattended 24/7/365 as data streams in from the asset(s).
There is no need to download data records, CAN logs or other information to run analytics manually in spreadsheets or other tools
No need for a human to be actively involved in analyzing data (it works while you sleep)
Automated notifications and analysis include, but are not limited to:
|
|
MachineWatch™ Analytics help operations & reliability:
Optimize Production
Reduce Unexpected Shutdowns from component failures
Reduce Excessive Parts & Labor Cost
-
- Avoid extra cost for incorrect and or expedited parts
- After-hours labor (scheduled versus reactionary)
- Avoid additional costs associated with failure mode misdiagnosis. (i.e., removing incorrect part)
ADVANCED NOTIFICATIONS & ALERTS
mGuard® MachineWatch™ generates Automated Advanced Notifications
When MachineWatch™ identifies a potential failure or shutdown, the system will trigger an email notification. These notifications provide the name of the asset, time of occurence, severity, the types of conditions that are indicative of a failure, recommended action and a hyperlink to MonicoLive.
DASHBOARDS/DATA VISUALIZATION & ALERTS
Displays for:
Asset Overview
Engine
Intake
Exhaust
Drive
Chassis
Hydraulic systems
Grease System
Oil Analysis Detail
Component Life Tracking
Event & Diagnostic Codes
All dashboards are preconfigured and setup for the asset it’s depicting data on.
Additionally due to the availability of historical data, the dashboards provide a DVR type functionality that allows the user to move backwards and forwards along the timeline of data. Users can also move to a specific date/time.
FLUIDS ANALYSIS
mGuard® MachineWatch™ combines the machine telemetry and fluids analysis data, and brings together what had previously been disparate silos of machine health data, enabling MachineWatch MDE’s (Monico Defined Events) to use both the fluid analysis (i.e., engine oil, transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids) and telemetry data in combination, to better predict failure at the earliest onset.
Previously, this would require people with experience in both machine telemetry data and fluids analysis to spend time reviewing all the available data, then from their experience, determine the underlying cause of the condition affecting the machine health and appropriate corrective action. Some of the downsides to this is firstly the time taken to physically review the oil analysis reports and the corresponding telemetry data, secondly finding the right people with the necessary skill sets and experience and that have the knowledge across multiple machine types and different OEM’s is difficult, thirdly if these people leave the business their knowledge and experience leaves with them.

HISTORICAL DATA STORAGE
Data Archiving is important for a remote condition monitoring solution as it provides the opportunity to ‘go back’ and historically review what was happening and to perform analytics on data that is slowly trending over time.
