10 December 2009 - ToothMetricsTM featured in the International Mining Magazine article regarding Freeport's Grasberg mine
“...To avoid crusher down time due to bucket teeth delays, Freeport has used the Motion Metrics' Toothmetrics

expand the program. It is a camera-based missing tooth detection system that avoids teeth getting into crushers

Motion Metrics is proud to announce the launch of the latest generation of FragMetricsTM, the most powerful on-shovel rock fragmentation analysis system. Perfect complement to the company's flagship product, ToothMetricsTM Missing Tooth Detection System, FragMetricsTM provides valuable rock size statistics so the mine blasting process and crusher productivity can be optimized.
11 March 2009 - A major iron ore producer in Western Africa has chosen Motion Metrics's complete machine-vision product
Motion Metrics proudly announces that a major iron ore producer in Western Africa has chosen Motion Metrics's complete machine-vision product: the combined ToothMetricsTM + ViewMetricsTM + FragMetricsTM system for a P&H 2800 cable shovel. This represents Motion Metrics's first foray into the Western Africa region.
ToothMetricsTM automatically detects missing teeth to prevent crusher downtime and production interruptions. ViewMetricsTM integrates surveillance cameras views to the system to improve operation safety. FragMetricsTM features rock fragmentation analysis which is a valuable tool for the mine blasting engineers to improve the blasting patterns and parameters. The systems are combined together to provide a complete shovel monitoring solution at a fraction of the cost. Maintenance is minimized since three features share the same hardware platform.
