AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance for Belt Conveyors

Conveyors are critical to bulk material handling in industries such as mining & metals, cement, power, fertilizer, and ports, moving large volumes of materials where a single failure can stop production, create safety risks, and cause major financial losses. Key challenges include high maintenance costs from wear on motors/gearboxes/pulleys/belts, harsh environments that limit inspection frequency, and safety hazards from manual inspections in confined or dangerous areas—making unplanned downtime especially costly in mining where conveyors replace truck fleets.

The document describes the need for real-time condition monitoring, emphasizes the importance of proper sensor selection, and introduces PlantOS (an Industrial AI platform) for early fault detection. Download the white paper to find out more details.
