Advanced analytics from equipment-based sensors are quickly catching on in the mining industry, but some of the problems it can be used to prevent – such as the catastrophic failure of a load-bearing structure – require real-time analysis on site, rather than more delayed off-site computations. Monico is looking to bridge that disconnect with its mCore Secure Data Router, a product designed to bring “real-time, actionable intelligence” directly to customers on a mine site. In a presentation made at SME’s annual conference and expo in February, Monico president and CEO Doyle Taylor said the device is a rugged, secure tool that “will not just add more data, but make value out of data.” Taylor said the router offers a flexible framework adaptable to the needs and expertise of customers.
