ShovelMetrics Gen 3
About ShovelMetrics Gen 3
ShovelMetrics is Motion Metrics' flagship product, installed on over 250 shovels at 50+ mines worldwide. The Gen 3 version uses advanced high-definition bucket cameras with deep learning algorithms to provide missing tooth detection, tooth wear monitoring, lip shroud detection, payload estimation, particle size analysis, boulder detection, and operator blind spot reduction. All data flows to MetricsManager Pro for fleet-wide analytics and trend reporting.
ShovelMetrics represents the primary data capture point for mine-to-mill analytics within the Motion Metrics ecosystem. The lip shroud detection capability — monitoring wear on shovel lip shrouds as well as teeth — is an industry first that expands the asset protection scope beyond traditional tooth monitoring.

AVEVA PI System
by AVEVA
AVEVA PI System (formerly OSIsoft PI System) is the dominant operations data management platform in heavy industry, deployed across 14,000+ sites in 127 countries. In mining, PI System serves as the system of record for all operational data — ingesting time-series data from process control systems, remote sensors, IIoT devices, and SCADA systems via hundreds of native connectivity options. Core components include PI Server (data archive and asset framework), PI Vision (browser-based visualisation dashboards), PI DataLink (Excel integration for ad-hoc analysis), Asset Analytics (streaming calculations), and Event Frames (contextual event capture for batch operations and shift reporting).
AVEVA Predictive Analytics
by AVEVA
AVEVA Predictive Analytics uses machine learning to continuously monitor critical mining assets — crushers, mills, conveyors, pumps, and rotating equipment — learning normal operating patterns from PI System data and flagging anomalous behaviour before it results in unplanned downtime. The system builds digital profiles of healthy equipment operation and alerts maintenance teams when actual performance deviates from expected behaviour, providing lead time for planned intervention.
AVEVA Unified Operations Center
by AVEVA
AVEVA Unified Operations Center (UOC) provides a comprehensive visualisation and situational awareness platform that integrates data from SCADA, PI System, ERP, and other business applications into a single enterprise-wide view. For mining, this means real-time visibility across extraction, processing, transport, and logistics — enabling collaborative decision-making and rapid response to operational events.
BeltMetrics Gen 2
by Motion Metrics
BeltMetrics Gen 2 provides continuous, non-contact particle size analysis on conveyor belts using stereo imaging and deep learning. It optimises crusher feed, detects empty belts indicating blocked chutes, measures transported material volume, and provides load profiling. As a critical mine-to-mill measurement point, BeltMetrics data in MetricsManager Pro closes the loop between blast fragmentation and processing plant feed.
