MineProFiles Case Study Situation: An operator running a P&H® 4100XPC shovel at a large coal mine in Wyoming notices and reports weak crowd performance. A P&H MinePro Services Regional Product Specialist is contacted and upon further investigation determines that the current drawn by the crowd drive is oscillating. Based on the historical data, it is clear that the drive is faulty. The Prevail system is a diagnostic tool that enabled mine and MinePro technicians to quickly identify and diagnose crowd drive oscillation. Once the diagnoses were made, the replacement drive was ordered, the machine was scheduled down and the repair was completed in one hour. – Bill Hopson Maintenance Manager Antelope Mine We never would have found this until the drive failed. Now we can schedule the time to repair. – P&H MinePro Services Regional Product Specialist PreVail® Remote Health Monitoring: Predicting Failures To Minimize Downtime Challenge: Quickly and reliably determine the root cause of the problem without spending significant time on site to troubleshoot, and then use the knowledge gained from this investigation to automate the prediction of future drive-related problems before they occur.
