Abstract
1. —It is disclosed an autonomous monitoring system based on a magnetic field variation: (a) that allows (i) predicting wear, failures and cracks in mining equipment; (ii) prevent and detect, in real time, uncrushable material such as metal and/or material from “old mining” or past operations and/or parts or pieces of mining equipment; (b) to be used/installed in mining and/or loading equipment, such as, but not limited to, cables shovel, hydraulic shovel, a loader or other type of loader; (c) that allows detecting strange metal bodies, and also, knowing the level of wear and/or detecting a failure or fracture in the parts of these equipment almost immediately, particularly, but not limited to, the teeth or part of them, preventing unscheduled stops and accidents of the personnel, and improving effectiveness and efficiency in the planning of predictive and preventative maintenance operations;2.—an installation method of the system.3.—an operating method of the system.4.—tooth, ground engaging tool or part of a mining and/or loading equipment, which comprises one or more monitoring devices.
