Flexco Elevate Belt Conveyor Intelligence is a real-time monitoring system that harnesses the power of predictive analytics so mining, aggregate, and cement operations can remotely gather critical insights that optimise belt conveyor productivity and heighten operational efficiencies.

“Flexco has a 110-year history of innovation, working alongside our customers to deliver solutions that are in alignment with their operational goals,” said Chip Winiarski, Vice President of Marketing at Flexco. “We are proud to introduce Flexco Elevate. It’s the first technology solution of its kind and will quickly bring increased efficiencies and improved productivity to our customers’ operations.”

Flexco Elevate Platform Overview

Flexco Elevate, created in partnership with Uptake, an industrial AI and IoT data science leader, reduces the need for on-site inspections and allows operations to access real-time insights remotely from an intuitive dashboard, so users are able to quickly address belt conveyor performance issues and minimise unexpected downtime. The insights pipeline begins by installing a Flexco Elevate i3 Device to the end of each belt cleaner where analytics are immediately aggregated and processed. The information is then wirelessly transferred to the Flexco Elevate Dashboard where operations have immediate, remote access to action-oriented insights and service information for all of the Flexco cleaners throughout the operation.

Flexco Elevate alters the way operations are run and the solution’s benefits streamline internal processes. They include:

Increased productivity: The Elevate solution makes it easy to manage belt cleaner service.

ROI from day one: Data insights are immediately transferred to the dashboard so operations realise operational efficiency from day one.

Improved safety: The Flexco Elevate solution reduces the need for dangerous physical inspections along beltlines.

Asset management: Digital mapping of installed Flexco cleaners provides visibility of assets for more efficient resource planning.

No guesswork: The operations team knows exactly what, when, and where service is needed.

Leverages existing assets: The Elevate Platform works with existing Flexco belt cleaners – no additional investment in cleaners is required.

User friendly: Installation and activation in as little as five minutes for a user-friendly experience.

“With the introduction of Elevate, Flexco is reimagining the ways customers can enhance their operations through innovative solutions and added value to belt cleaners and other conveyor components,” said Ryan Grevenstuk, Director of Global Heavy-Duty Marketing.

“Because it has the power to turn complex data into real-world outcomes, Flexco Elevate is able to transform the way operations address pain points – allowing them to make proactive decisions that continually maximise their uptime and productivity.”
