High-precision conveyor belt scanner with advanced imaging technology for material analysis.

Continuous particle and material measurement for conveyors and process lines

Instantly measure material in motion

Solo™ is a conveyor particle size analysis and material measurement system that continuously measures material on belts or chutes in real time — without production stoppages or manual sampling. Get reliable data on particle size distribution, shape, volume e colour to monitor material variability, improve process control and make better-informed operational decisions — Perché non si può gestire ciò che non si può misurare!


How Solo Fits in the Process

Conveyors provide a consistent measurement point throughout crushing, screening and material-processing circuits. Solo turns that point into a continuous source of particle and material data that can help operations:

  • Catch problems early by identifying oversize or unexpected material before it affects downstream equipment.
  • Protect crushers, mills and screens by detecting sudden feed changes and out-of-spec conditions.
  • Stabilize throughput by monitoring feed consistency and process variability.
  • Support crushing and grinding efficiency with continuous particle size measurements.
  • Improve material control and blending using colour and material-characteristic trends.
  • Track process performance by comparing particle size and material trends through different stages of production.
  • Enable process automation through alarms, diversions and control-system integration based on live data.

What Solo Does

Solo is an autonomous measurement system that continuously analyzes material moving on conveyors or through process lines, providing reliable data for monitoring, control and process improvement.

Depending on configuration, Solo can provide:

  • Particle size measurement, from maximum-size monitoring to full particle size distribution (PSD)
  • Shape distribution and volume estimation for additional insight into material characteristics
  • Oversize detection with configurable alarms or control outputs
  • Colour measurement and differentiation to monitor changes in visible material characteristics
  • Trend data to identify changes in material and process consistency over time
  • Control-system integration through Modbus TCP or OPC UA
  • Autonomous operation for continuous monitoring with minimal operator intervention

Solo Options: Choose the Capability You Need

Solo is available in two configurations built on the same hardware platform. Choose focused monitoring for a specific measurement objective or full particle analysis for more comprehensive process data. Systems can be upgraded without replacing the hardware.

Assolo Di base

A streamlined option for applications requiring a single primary measurement:

  • Maximum particle size monitoring for oversize detection and process alerts
  • Colour monitoring for tracking changes against defined colour profiles

Perfect for applications where a focused measurement can provide a clear operational signal without requiring a full particle size distribution.

Assolo Complete

Full material measurement for applications requiring more detailed process insight:

  • Full particle size distribution (PSD)
  • Up to 25 user-defined size classes
  • Shape distribution
  • Volume estimation
  • Colour measurement and differentiation

Solo Complete provides a broader picture of material characteristics for process monitoring, trending and integration with plant control systems.

Our analysis systems are designed for easy installation, autonomous operation, and integration into existing process environments.

Advanced SAG control

Los Pelambres uses WipWare measurement to support SAG mill advanced control strategies, helping avoid overloading and underloading.

Il sistema Solo di WipWare è un'apparecchiatura di vitale importanza per noi, utilizzata nei nostri Strategia di controllo avanzata SAG. Ci aiuta a determinare il % di fini in ingresso che ci per compensare con mangime fresco al fine di evitare il sovraccarico e il sottocarico del SAG, che ci fa uscire dal punto di macinazione della massima efficienza.

Milling and flotation visibility

Gibraltar uses WipWare data as real-time control inputs for milling and flotation circuits.

I sistemi Solo sono parte integrante delle nostre operazioni sia per i circuiti di macinazione che per quelli di flottazione. Le telecamere ci permettono di comprendere le caratteristiche granulometriche e cromatiche del minerale in ingresso, di seguire l'impatto di queste proprietà attraverso la macinazione SAG e la flottazione e di fornire input di controllo in tempo reale agli operatori di questi circuiti. WipWare ci ha aiutato a risolvere i problemi e a riadattare le vecchie versioni della sua tecnologia e ha realizzato un algoritmo software personalizzato per elaborare le informazioni sul colore della telecamera, adattato in modo specifico al nostro caso d'uso.

AG mill feed performance

Peña Colorada connects WipWare data to improved AG mill feed control, energy efficiency, productivity, and operating performance.

La tecnologia WipWare ci permette di misurare, monitorare e controllare, in tempo reale, la distribuzione di dimensioni, forma, uniformità e volume del minerale di ferro che alimenta la macinazione autogena. Conoscere l'impatto delle diverse frazioni di dimensioni del minerale alimentato migliora le prestazioni del mulino AG, aumentando l'efficienza energetica dei mulini, la produttività del processo e il profitto.
