No CIM 2018 em Vancouver, Presidente da WipWare<\/a><\/strong>, Tom Palangio sentou-se com Jerrod Downey de Crownsmen Partners<\/a><\/strong>. They discussed Automatic Real-Time Fragmentation Analysis and the changes that technology is bringing to the mining industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How WipWare got its Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the questions frequently asked is how the name WipWare came about. The WIP stands for Waterloo Image Process – take a picture of broken material and get engineering data from it. Tom and some Waterloo colleagues developed the technology that WipWare uses today in their WipFrag real-time fragmentation analysis software.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before technology like WipFrag, you\u2019d look at a blast and have to visually try to determine if it was good. Another method was to stop the belt and take a manual sample. Then, wait for the sieve results which could take hours, even days. So, by the time the results came back, they weren’t actionable and this was an ineffective method. With WipWare’s fragmentation analysis systems and software, you get real-time results immediately to make quantitative decisions to improve your processes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting Edge Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the past, “it has been difficult to introduce new technology into a traditional business”. The mining industry “hasn’t always been receptive to change”. With remote sensing, robotics and automation becoming common technology, WipWare’s real-time fragmentation analysis systems and software is on the cutting edge of this new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the mining industry is becoming more receptive to automatic processes. Tom explains, “Our technology allows you to measure material in real-time. If you’re off spec, you can adjust it and it’s not disruptive”.\u00a0 Imaging, computer and sensor technology has really improved. Tom states, “We thought creating the data…was a reason for being…but it’s getting the data to the people that can act on it”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile Device Compatibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dois anos atr\u00e1s, a WipWare decidiu integrar a tecnologia em dispositivos m\u00f3veis e introduziu o WipFrag iOS. Foram mais de 5.000 downloads em 18 meses e o WipFrag iOS j\u00e1 est\u00e1 dispon\u00edvel na App Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ind\u00fastria de minera\u00e7\u00e3o n\u00e3o \u00e9 a \u00fanica em que nossa tecnologia pode ser utilizada. Outras ind\u00fastrias incluem medicina, agricultura, ind\u00fastria qu\u00edmica e ind\u00fastria de explosivos, apenas para citar alguns - em qualquer lugar onde voc\u00ea tenha materiais e queira detectar contamina\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os aplicativos s\u00e3o numerosos e \u00e9 sempre emocionante encontrar novos aplicativos para a tecnologia WipWare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
