MAJOR App update streamlines and improves functionality
Merging of FLEX-MAT Sensor App with MAJOR App creates single resource for aggregate producers
MAJOR, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance wire screen media, have updated the MAJOR App by combining it with the FLEX-MAT Sensor App to create a single resource for aggregate and mining producers as well as MAJOR dealers.
Depending on the type of user, the app includes marketing materials, expert documents, and a newsroom with articles and announcements, as well as RFID reader technology and the FLEX-MAT Sensor.
‘Productivity is a priority when it comes to our customers – and we’re dedicated to providing technological solutions to help streamline screen media maintenance processes,’ said Kevin Laporte, MAJOR’s research and development manager. Simplifying the MAJOR App allows customers to access all their screen media data in one place – saving time and virtually eliminating room for measurement errors.’
The MAJOR App streamlines customer and dealer processes by digitalizing relevant product information. Customers and dealers can track and store screen media data such as screen dimensions and customer-defined details to simplify the ordering process through FLEX-MAT ID Enabled.
RFID technology allows customers and dealers to easily access product information through the MAJOR App without needing an additional reading device. Operators simply scan the FLEX-MAT screen with the MAJOR App to access product information. This makes the re-ordering process easier by minimizing the need to climb on to the screen deck to measure screen.
Fewer physical measurements also reduce the potential for mistakenly ordering the wrong size, which can result in producing out-of-spec products. For screen media without ID Enabled features, the app includes an augmented measurement tool whereby customers and dealers can use their phone camera for approximate measurements.
The app also features the FLEX-MAT Sensor, a vibration data measurement tool that operators can use to fine-tune their screening machine without shutting down the equipment.
Operators connect to a single sensor, which is placed on one corner of the machine at a time. The sensor is moved to each corner of the machine to get a full view of the vibrational data. Once the measurement process is complete, the data are delivered to the Major App, where they are stored locally for ease of use and viewing in areas with cellular limitations.
Once a signal is available, the information is uploaded into MAJOR’s cloud storage, where it is viewable from a web browser. By providing accessible, real-time data immediately following a vibration analysis, the MAJOR App supports quick and easy maintenance for maximized production.
Moreover, merging the MAJOR App with the FLEX-MAT Sensor App makes updating the app easier, especially when it comes to measurement and ordering. Combining these applications creates one easy location for all functionalities, creating a more secure login system and making updates easier in the future.
The application also includes an efficiency calculator, open-area calculator, and a warehouse function that compiles a list of the screen media in storage along with their specifications. These features help operations closely monitor production as well as inventory for improved efficiency.
The free app is available for Apple and Android phones, and users can contact MAJOR for information on how to get started with the app.
