MAJOR, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance wire screen media, updates The MAJOR App. The new application update combines The MAJOR App with the FLEX-MAT Sensor App to create one resource for mining and aggregate producers and 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 the RFID reader technology and the FLEX-MAT Sensor. MAJOR will highlight The MAJOR App and other screen media solutions at MINExpo 2024 in Las Vegas. Visit MAJOR at booth 8633 in the Central Hall. “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 R&D 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. The RFID technology allows customers and dealers to easily access product information through The MAJOR App without needing an additional reading device. Operations simply scan the FLEX-MAT screen with The MAJOR App to access product information. This makes the reordering process easier by minimizing the need to climb onto 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 where customers and dealers can use their phone camera for approximate measurements. The app also features the FLEX-MAT Sensor, a vibration data measurement tool operations can utilize to fine-tune their screen 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 is delivered to The Major App, where it is 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. 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 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.
