Does this control the crusher or the feeder?

No. This is monitoring: it produces a timestamped record for your team. Any control or automated response is a separate scope, assessed against the equipment you already run.

How is this different from our downtime log?

A downtime log records that the primary stopped. This adds what the cameras observed around that period, so the entry can be reviewed rather than reconstructed from memory.

Where does the autonomous rockbreaker fit in?

It is the intervention step at the primary, deployed today under remote supervision. Monitoring helps you judge whether the interruptions at your site justify it.

Where should we start?

One primary, one defined operating period, one problem your team already argues about. That is enough to tell whether the record describes what the shift experienced.

Primary crushing

Primary crushing operations: see what stops production

The primary sets the pace for everything behind it. Camera-based monitoring puts feed continuity, oversize and bridging events and downtime on one timeline, so a shift can be reviewed on evidence instead of recollection.

The operational problem

When the primary is not taking material, the trucks back up and the belts behind it run empty. The tonnage at the end of the shift shows the result, not the reason.

Most of the loss is made of short interruptions: a feeder throttled back, a bridged chamber, a wait for the rockbreaker, a gap between trucks. Individually they are forgettable. Added up over a shift they are the difference people argue about.

What can be observed

Feed continuity at the primary through the agreed operating period
Oversize and bridging detections, timestamped with video context
Downtime periods placed next to what the cameras saw before and during them
Truck tipping activity and belt activity on the same timeline
Periods of missing or unusable data, reported as missing rather than as zero

How your team would use it

Take a shift that underperformed. Look at the downtime periods at the primary, then look at the feed and detection record either side of them, and see what kind of interruption it actually was.

Once a pattern is visible and agreed, it can be acted on: how the feed is managed, how quickly oversize is cleared, or whether the intervention itself should be automated.

Monitoring, intervention and control

Monitoring produces a record for people. It does not operate your plant, and a detection is evidence of what the camera saw, not proof of a cause.

Intervention is a separate, deployed capability: an autonomous rockbreaker clearing oversize and bridging at the primary under remote supervision. Monitoring can be used to decide whether that intervention is worth it at your site, and afterwards to see how often it was needed.

Our current deployed scope is autonomous rockbreaking; coordinated control across the wider primary crushing circuit is future scope.

What we need for a walkthrough

Your primary type and how the feed into it is controlled
Where cameras could see the feed area and the chamber
How downtime at the primary is recorded today, if it is
The operating period you would want a shift reviewed against
Whether oversize is cleared by an operator, a rockbreaker, or both
