is discovery has opened up a whole new area of application for the high-definition data of the HD ENV® technology. Beyond Condition Monitoring – Using High-Definition Data for Process Optimization Keeping the production equipment up and running smoothly and without mechanical issues is paramount in any process plant, that goes without saying, and this is the justifica- tion for condition monitoring. However, many other factors influence productivity and results beyond staying on top of asset reliability. Process optimization aims to produce the greatest amount of output with the highest possible quality at the lowest possible amount of input resources. Equipment and processes performing at a sub-optimal level can cause production inefficiencies, quality problems, and high - er-than-necessary energy consumption, to name but a few adverse effects. e oppor- tunity to gain actionable insights beyond the mechanical condition of critical machinery based on vibration data brings significant potential for certain data-driven process improvements. Process optimization solutions with the HD EN V® technolog y enable process industries to enhance new areas of their production, thereby contributing to: • Increased production speed • Increased raw material yields • Maximized availability • Enhanced plant condition • Health, safety, and environmental improvements Process Optimization and Reliability for Smart Mines As SPM Instrument now turns its extensive technical expertise into process optimization, the mining and mineral processing sector is the first to take advantage. is heavy-asset, energ y-intensive industry stands to make considerable gains from process optimization. Below are two examples of HD ENV® process optimization capabilities that greatly benefit the mining industry. Maximizing Grinding Efficiency and Throughput in Tumbling Mills A critical success factor in optimizing the efficiency and performance of the grinding process is mastering the toe position of the mill charge. Toe-position monitoring is a process optimization tool for detecting the early onset of an overload condition in tumbling mills. It provides insight into charge dynamics and enables operators to optimize comminution efficiency. Even a slight increase in throughput can impact the bottom line dramatically. " The innovative HD vibration technology from SPM Instrument breaks new ground in more ways than one.

SPM's R & D Manager Johan Nilsson: "Compared to conventional vibration-monitoring technol- ogies, HD ENV® knocks it out of the park. Our process-optimization solutions build on a legacy of well-proven, field-tested technolog y, and we are continually exploring new oppor tunities to truly put our customers' vibration data to work for them. By employing process optimization, companies can boost the boom line and enhance their competitive edge." Process-optimization data is presented in clear and visually appealing web-based dashboards and can be integrated into control systems via REST API or OPC UA.
