Abstract

Maintenance has attracted lately research attention. Interesting advances were brought to the process industry to boost Digital transformation. Specifically, Predictive maintenance has a big role in enhancing productivity and machine reliability. Machines lubrication is a systematic Maintenance activity preventing later parts degradation. Promoting this activity should be taken more seriously as more than 50% of roller bearing in mining industry defects are due to inadequate lubrication. Additionally, actual industrial lubrication practices lack assistance and efficiency. To improve lubrication and generally maintenance in the digitalization context, the process industry requires an upgrade of operations automation and the integration of a certain degree of intelligence. This smart level must be reached in components lubrication, leverage decision-making, and keep up with the mining industry challenges. This study proposes a smart greasing system to achieve proactivity in the ore mining industry lubrication activity as a Proof-of-Concept. A fuzzy logic controller is used to compute input parameters vibrations, temperature, and humidity, collected from smart sensors implemented in a crusher machine. The Controller calculates the dosage correction coefficient to change the grease output on the centralized greasing test bench. This Proof-of-Concept is destined to reduce bearing defects related to the lubrication problem. Last, the Authors present the vision of combining the smart greasing concept and the previously developed predictive maintenance system for a better mining process maintenance real-time monitoring.
