Acceleration monitoring system Elevate i3

motionperformanceimpact

Flexco Elevate® is an IoT remote monitoring platform for belt conveyor cleaners that provides real-time monitoring, anomaly detection and performance insights to reduce unexpected downtime and optimize maintenance. The solution couples a compact device (Elevate i3) to existing belt cleaners and streams performance data to an online dashboard and mobile app for immediate insight.

Setup & operation

• Install: slide the Elevate i3 device onto the cleaner pole end and tighten in place.
• Connect: pair the device with the i3 Mobile App; typical install time is 5 minutes or less for most belt cleaners.
• Data transmission: device sends data via cellular or Wi‑Fi to the Elevate Dashboard for remote access.

Key insights & reports

• Cleaner Engagement Reports: machine-learning-driven reports that determine whether belt cleaners are making proper contact with the belt.
• Impact/Anomaly Events: detection and recording of outlier impacts or abnormal events, with event records shown on the dashboard.
• Belt Performance Metrics: continuous monitoring of blade run-time, belt status and real-time projections of blade life to support maintenance planning.

Functional benefits

• Acts like a check-engine indicator for belt cleaners to quickly detect performance issues.
• Enables remote monitoring and reduces the need for frequent manual inspections on difficult-to-access conveyors.
• Helps detect vibrational anomalies (e.g., belt rips, loose pins, material build-up) early, prompting inspections that can prevent catastrophic failures and costly replacements.
• Supports heavy-duty mining and industrial conveyor applications where uptime and belt health are critical.

Elevate in-action (examples)

• Detection of vibrational anomalies that led to discovery of a belt rip before a catastrophic failure.
• Alerts prompting inspection of an overland conveyor cleaner with material build-up, preventing cleaner and belt damage.
• Notifications that identified a loose cleaner pin and prevented further damage to lagging and belt components.
