Bucket Wheel Safety Enhanced by TRUST ITM®
By ITM
This case study from a coal mine in the Philippines showcases the use of the TRUST ITM® Mobile Kit (TMK) on bucket wheel excavators to monitor planetary gearbox temperatures. Customised magnetic sensors provide real-time, in-cabin alerts and remote monitoring capabilities. The system helps detect early signs of gearbox failure, preventing costly breakdowns and improving safety. By integrating with cloud platforms, the TMK enables proactive maintenance and extends component life. The result is a more reliable, efficient, and safer mining operation with reduced downtime and maintenance costs.
