Equipment monitoring and analysis

Even with the right equipment and people, there are opportunities to unlock even more production and reduce costs. Our JoyCut cutting systems program analyzes your current mining performance and may recommend a further optimized pick and cutting system.

The recommendation is based on your continuous miner or shearer model, your mine’s specific geological conditions and your production requirements. We can even use data from your miner’s software to inform the procedure. By identifying and implementing the appropriate cutting system, the program is designed to help with:

• Increased cutting efficiency
• Reduced specific energy required
• Improved product size
• Longer component life for less downtime and maintenance costs

To help keep you up and running and your budget tight, we partner with you to troubleshoot your inventory programs and identify areas where you can save time and money. We help you identify your “critical spares” so you can balance your parts budget while still having key parts on hand for unplanned breakdowns.

Plus, our service teams can:

• Reconcile a recommended spare parts list for your equipment with your current inventory
• Plan for custom or long lead time part replacement
• Help create custom strategies for your maintenance organization
