MIRI predictive maintenance for coal pulverizers
KOMIPO used MIRI to schedule pulverizer maintenance by wear
Problem
Pulverizer parts were replaced on fixed schedules regardless of condition.
Approach
KOMIPO's research institute developed MIRI for predictive diagnosis and deployed it across its sites. AI assessed equipment condition, including pulverizer wear, to guide maintenance timing.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
KOMIPO reported fewer unnecessary part replacements after maintenance timing followed actual wear rather than fixed intervals.
