eClamp® is a technological platform that monitors and performs predictive analysis by detecting electrical arcs, temperatures, voltages, currents, and other parameters in the operation of mining plugs.
eClamp® detects and helps anticipate real-time failures in the network, such as damaged plugs, voltage drops caused by crushed cables, and current leaks.
eClamp® records the GPS position of each plug and displays it on the operation map.
Additionally, all real-time measured variables are visualized in a powerful SCADA software, which maintains strict version control of the elements connected to the network, contributing to a safer operation.
Finally, it includes an inventory, manufacturing, and repair tool that enables real-time traceability of all components.
Thanks to the sensing system installed within the mining plugs, communication technologies, and data analysis and display software, eClamp® increases the operational availability of productive assets and optimizes the use of energy distribution equipment.

It depends on the kind of the plug.
SCADA Software for Design and Visualization of the Single-Line Diagram
-
With eClamp®‘s Single-Line SCADA, you can:
- Design the layout by registering new elements added or removed.
- Use the appropriate symbols that communicate the position of each element.
- Maintain strict version control of layout changes to ensure that your operators always work with the latest authorized version.
- Visualize in real-time the operational status and the sensed variables of all plugs with an eClamp® installed.
- Detect plugs and cables in the process of failure, allowing the organization to anticipate potential events and take preventive actions.
- Visualize an alarm showing the potential danger of overconsumption of the network powered by a cell, by comparing it with the sum of the nominal maximum consumption of all its loads.
-
Supports symbols used in operations:
- Substations with their cells
- Splitters with their outputs
- Cables of varying lengths
- Symbols for underground, aerial, and LED cable layouts
- Plugs with or without eClamp® installed
- Electrical equipment such as shovels, drills, pumps, and general loads
- Free text to highlight relevant information
- Identification label for the plan
-
Multi-user SCADA software with user-type access controls.
-
Displays the geolocation of each plug with an installed eClamp® kit on a map.
-
