Monitoring Is Only Valuable
When It Leads to Action

Every monitoring system and inspection service can generate data. The challenge is understanding what the information means, what requires attention, and what should happen next.

1. Data

Our systems capture thousands of events from the conveyor belt, including steel cord status, splices, cover wear, and more.

2. Information

Our engineers organize and validate the raw data, turning it into meaningful metrics and summaries.

3. Knowledge

They interpret trends and patterns; identifying which issues are significant and which can wait.

All data analysis is coordinated at our Bluefield, VA facility, where our diagnostic and monitoring engineers play a key role in driving actionable insights.

4. Insight

They highlight root causes, predict potential failures, and provide actionable recommendations.

5. Impact

The customer understands the consequences of ignoring problems or acting proactively, saving time, money, and downtime.

6. Immediate Action

With prioritized guidance, customers can implement fixes or maintenance quickly, preventing failures and extending belt life of their existing conveyor belts.

WHY PERMANENT STEEL CORD MONITORING MATTERS

Conveyor belts are expensive.
Don’t wait until the belt fails.

Sharp materials can become embedded in a steel cord conveyor belt, tearing it and causing serious damage. Without monitoring, these issues can go unnoticed until they halt production and trigger costly repairs. EagleEye® Advanced changes the game. Our system detects these events instantly and can shut down the conveyor before a small problem turns into a full-scale failure.

Comprehensive
Steel Cord Monitoring

EagleEye Advanced combines steel cord monitoring, splice analysis, and rip detection into a single platform that provides continuous visibility into belt health. For critical conveyors such as slope belts, overland conveyors, and other long-haul systems, early damage detection can make the difference between a planned repair and a costly production interruption. Seamlessly integrated with your conveyor control system, EagleEye delivers real-time insights that help maintenance teams identify developing issues before they become failures.


Features That Make
a Difference in the Field:

Belt Park

Automatically stop the belt at a known location following a monitoring event, allowing crews to quickly locate and inspect potential damage.

24/7/365 Access to our Monitoring Engineers

Work directly with our diagnostics and monitoring engineers who can help interpret results and provide guidance when questions arise.

Real-Time Email Alerts

Receive notifications when belt events occur, helping supervisors stay informed even when managing conveyors across multiple sites or locations.

Case Study

During a routine quarterly check, we used MFL technology and X-ray imaging to track steel cord belt health at a valued Fenner Dunlop customer mining site.
Our analysis revealed significant steel cable damage caused by a cut running the length of the belt, along with a splice with extensive internal wear.

Instead of handing over raw data, our engineers summarized the findings, explained what it meant, and recommended the exact corrective actions.

Thanks to our clear guidance, the customer brought in a belt crew immediately—preventing failure, avoiding costly downtime, and extending the life of their existing belt while minimizing the risk of catastrophic damage.

Training

Learn To Get The Most From Your System

We don’t just install the systems—we teach your team how to get the most out of them. Our training is practical, straightforward, and tailored to your operation.

I attended a two-day training on the system that gave me a very good understanding of the system and how to use it. The EagleEye system is a great system that does what it advertises.
