Increased Production Through Technology

Through years of experience in monitoring and control for the mining industry, AMR has developed the most versatile quarry automation system available today.

Providing one-touch plant startup, each device is verified for proper operation before proceeding. Once the system is up and running, critical feed and transfer points are precisely monitored and controlled for maximum efficiency. Storage bin and crusher bowl levels are constantly maintained, providing increased tonnage and a more consistent quality product.

Sensors strategically placed throughout your plant monitor all operating equipment. If a problem occurs, the feed is stopped and the affected portion of the system is shutdown, thus preventing costly downtime due to spillage and overflow. The operator is alerted and directed to the problem, so repairs can be made quickly and production can resume.

Utilizing a PC-based Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) with a graphical depiction of the plant, the user can visually monitor all aspects of the operation. The HMI also allows the operator to tailor the automation system for current run conditions by adjusting set points and limits.

AMR offers a complete line of field proven sensors designed for quarry operating environments, providing maximum operation flexibility and efficiency. Our experienced engineers and technicians are eager to apply this state-of-the-art technology to increase production and improve the quality of your product.
