关于客户
MacLean is a company that designs, manufactures, and supports engineered solutions across various sectors including mining, municipal, and waste management. The company's mining division builds a comprehensive line of mobile equipment in the ground support, ore flow, and utility vehicle product categories. MacLean has been innovating underground mining equipment solutions for over 40 years. Founded in 1973, MacLean remains based in Ontario’s southern Georgian Bay region, with service and support branches across Canada and a global network of branches. They serve branches in the US, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, and Australia.
挑战
MacLean, a company that designs, manufactures, and supports engineered solutions across the mining, municipal, and waste management sectors, faced challenges in unifying internal and external documentation. They needed a solution that could help them create and publish parts catalogs efficiently and improve their aftermarket customer experience by connecting their customers to their machine technical documentation. The previous processes were time-consuming and would take weeks to complete. They also lacked shopping cart capability for their customers.
解决方案
MacLean opted for Documoto to help them improve publishing processes, enhance customer experience, and connect with their back-office systems to automate purchasing. The Documoto Professional Services team worked alongside MacLean’s marketing, documentation, IT, & aftermarket support staff to guide the implementation process. After MacLean’s cloud environment was configured and the documentation staff completed Documoto training, they began migrating parts data and illustrations into the new system. With assistance from the Documoto Professional Services staff, MacLean’s portal was rolled out to a select group of customers for initial testing.

Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.
Case Study
Mining Firm Quadruples Production, with Internet of Everything
Dundee Precious Metal’s flagship mine, in Chelopech, Bulgaria, produces a gold, copper, and silver concentrate set a goal to increase production by 30%. Dundee wanted to increase production quality and output without increasing headcount and resources, improve miner safety, and minimize cost.

Fastenal Builds the Future of Manufacturing with MachineMetrics
Fastenal's objective was to better understand their machine downtime, utilization, quality issues, and to embrace cutting-edge manufacturing technology/process improvement capabilities to bring their team to the next level. However, there was a lack of real-time data, visualization, and actionable insights made this transition impossible.
Case Study
Joy Mining Systems
Joy equipment faces many challenges. The first is machine integration and control. The business end of the machine has a rapidly-spinning cylinder with 6-inch diamond-studded cutting teeth. It chews through rock at rates measured in tens of tons per minute. The system grinds through the rock in front, creating a rectangular mine tunnel. Hydraulic lifters support the ceiling as the machine moves forward. Automated drills and screws drive 3-ft long screws into the ceiling to stabilize it. The rock and coal fall into a set of gathering "fingers" below the cutting cylinder. These fingers scoop up the rock and coal and deposit it onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor passes under the machine and out the back. A train of conveyor belt cars, up to a mile long, follows the cutter into the mine. The rock shoots along this train at over 400 feet per minute until it empties into rail cars at the end. Current systems place an operator cage next to the cutter. Choking dust (potentially explosive), the risk of collapse and the proximity of metal and rock mayhem make the operator cage a hazardous location.
Case Study
Improved Monitoring in Industrial Manufacturing Facility
When your crane is moving tons of magma-hot iron, you can’t afford an unexpected failure. McWane Ductile knew monitoring the crane motor metrics within their facility could help prevent a mechanical failure that would strand an enormous bucket of molten metal overhead. Unfortunately, their legacy wired monitoring system couldn’t work with moving objects in this extreme environment. If they could integrate wireless capabilities into their existing equipment they could extend their monitoring capabilities without starting over from scratch.
