Mining
Protect Uptime. Prevent Catastrophic Failures. Keep Production Moving.
Mining operations depend on massive, high-load rotating equipment. When any of these assets fail unexpectedly, the consequences are severe.
Why Mining Chooses Chladni
Mining assets operate under extreme stress. Chladni monitors:
SAG and Ball Mills
Ventilation and Exhaust Fans
Crushers and Screens
Hoists and Winches
Conveyor Drive Systems
Slurry and Tailings Pumps
The Hidden Problems That Shut Down Mines
Mining failures grow fast — Chladni catches the warning signs when they're still small.
A SAG mill bearing drifting
We use your vibration data to detect:
catastrophic bearing failure → weeks of downtime
Micro-instability
A slurry pump vibrating
We use your vibration data to detect:
inefficient flow → process instability
Micro-instability
A conveyor motor loosening
We use your vibration data to detect:
belt misalignment → safety hazard
Micro-instability
A ventilation fan degrading
We use your vibration data to detect:
airflow drop → unsafe underground conditions
Micro-instability
A crusher gearbox wearing
We use your vibration data to detect:
rising vibration → structural damage
Micro-instability
A hoist component drifting
We use your vibration data to detect:
severe safety and reliability risk
Micro-instability
Explore the benefits of using Chladni
Mining assets operate under extreme stress. Chladni monitors:
| Scenario | Before | With Chladni |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance Approach | Run-to-failure mentality | Predictable asset health and planned downtime |
| Throughput | Unstable throughput | Consistent, reliable production flow |
| Equipment Failures | Equipment dying unexpectedly | Early drift detection with simple maintenance actions |
| Safety | Dangerous mechanical conditions | Safer operation with fewer surprises |
| Costs | High maintenance & rebuild costs | Extended equipment life and fewer rebuilds |

Frequently Asked
Questions
Will installing Chladni require us to re-validate our equipment or file a new regulatory submission?
No.Chladni is designed as a Non-Invasive Overlay.
No PLC Contact: Our sensors are completely independent of your machine’s control logic. We do not write back to the PLC or alter process parameters.
No Re-Validation: Because the installation does not impact the validated state or control strategy of the equipment, it typically qualifies as a "monitoring-only" addition, requiring no re-validation or complex change control.
How is the hardware installed? Do we need to shut down the line? A: Installation is wireless, tool-free, and requires zero downtime.
Installation is wireless, tool-free, and requires zero downtime.
Wireless & Non-Invasive: Our sensors attach to the external chassis of your assets (motors, pumps, gearboxes) using industrial-grade adhesive.
Rapid Deployment: A single line can be outfitted in under a few hours without stopping production.
Are the sensors safe for Cleanroom and GMP environments?
Yes. Our pharma-grade sensor nodes are designed with smooth, non-shedding enclosures that are IP67/IP69K rated. They are resistant to standard cleaning agents (VHP, Isopropyl Alcohol) and do not introduce particulate risk into sterile environments.
Does this system comply with Data Integrity (ALCOA+)?
Absolutely. While Chladni operates as a monitoring layer, all data is encrypted end-to-end, time-stamped, and immutable. We provide full audit trails for every alert and user interaction, supporting your site’s 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 compliance strategies.
Can we integrate this data into our existing e-Logbook or MES?
Yes. We don't want to create a data silo. Chladni offers an open API to feed machine health status directly into your existing MES (e.g., Werum PAS-X, Rockwell PharmaSuite) or Quality Management System, automating the "Maintenance Required" entry in your electronic logbooks.
