SOFTWARE
Prevent failures. Eliminate downtime.
Maximize your profits.
24/7 fan and pump condition monitoring software.
Solution
LiveFlo® watches over your ventilation and pumping systems, optimizing your operational performance.
In underground mines, ventilation and pumping are vital. A failed fan or pump can lead to massive financial losses, production shutdowns, flooding, and even endanger your teams.
In the industrial sector, the reliability of fans and pumps is equally critical. A failure can cause costly production stoppages, damage to strategic equipment, disruptions to the supply chain, and safety risks for workers.
Preventing breakdowns is therefore essential to maintaining the performance, safety, and profitability of your mining and industrial operations.
Benefits
With Optis Engineering’s LiveFlo® software, you finally have a reliable and simple solution to monitor your critical equipment 24/7, remotely and in real time.
This allows you to go from periodic monitoring to
intelligent, continuous monitoring that detects problems before they occur, even remotely.
APPROACH
Why choose LiveFlo® over manual or occasional monitoring?
ISSUES (monthly statements)
- Anomalies go unnoticed between two surveys.
- Only vibration is analyzed, with no context on performance or efficiency.
- The data is scattered and difficult to interpret.
- 24/7 monitoring with full history.
- Integration of multiple sensors for accurate real-time diagnosis.
- Simple dashboards, tailored to each team
Pain points
- Sparse and difficult to interpret data
- Controls that are too far apart

BENEFITS
Tangible benefits for your operations
LiveFlo® is a simple, fast and reliable solution, developed by experts who know the realities on the ground and are dedicated to bring real benefits to the mining and industrial sectors:
BENEFITS
General
Identify anomalies before they become catastrophic.
Thanks to continuous monitoring.
Extend the lifespan of your fans and pumps, which can represent assets worth several millions.
By anticipating maintenance needs (preventive and predictive), you achieve fewer unplanned shutdowns and fewer emergency interventions.
By anticipating mechanical failure risks through well-maintained equipment.
Optimize energy efficiency and enhance equipment performance.
Automated alerts and reports, no more tedious manual tracking.
You can monitor your equipment’s health yourself or delegate it to our monitoring center. Get an instant overview of your equipment’s status.
BENEFITS
Ventilation
A malfunctioning fan disrupts operations and can even cause a production shutdown.
Prevent structural failures, flying blades or parts, and risks to workers.
After blasting periods, thanks to optimized ventilation.
Real-time monitoring of fan flow, pressure, and energy efficiency.
Flow control to ensure safe and stable conditions across all operational sites.
BENEFITS
Dewatering
Fewer unexpected failures on critical pumping systems.
Early detection of anomalies to prevent impact on sites and worker safety.
Identify anomalies before they become costly, using preventive and predictive maintenance.
Precise adjustments to reduce consumption, limit wear, and extend pump lifespan.
How does LiveFlo® work?
LiveFlo® is developed specifically for fans and pumps. It monitors equipment in real time, and prevents breakdowns before they occur.
Sources of information
LiveFlo® is powered by various sources of information for better diagnostics with quick installation and retrofit compatible:
- Vibration (time, frequency analyses)
- Pressure sensors
- Flow sensors
- Temperature Sensors
- Weather station (temperature, pressure, humidity), etc.
Data Transmission
Data can be transmitted in a variety of ways:
- Wired connection (Ethernet, Modbus, TCP/IP)
- Wireless Connection (LTE)
- Delayed mode (recording on an external device (e.g. USB stick) for periodic uploads (e.g. 1x/week)
Dashboards on the SaaS platform
The data is then relayed to the LiveFlo® analytics platform, which includes dedicated dashboards adapted to the reality of customers:
- Ventilation Crews or Water Management Crew
- Electrical/Instrumentation Maintenance Team
- Mechanical maintenance team
- Reliability
- IT/OT team (IT, networking)

Our experience in the field
The foundation of our approach to the development of LiveFlo®
Did you know that, since 2015, our team has been working directly on mining and industrial sites to support operators in optimizing their equipment?
We validate the performance, vibrations and general good functioning of the fans. We also investigate the causes of breakdowns in order to make recommendations to prevent future failures.
This field expertise has enabled us to develop high-performance analysis and diagnostic tools, which are now integrated into our LiveFlo® 24/7/365 monitoring solution.

We had neither the time nor the interest to monitor a fan or a pump every day. The dashboards we used to use were too complicated to understand and took forever to load.
It was really not easy to use or interpret. Since we have LiveFlo, it’s completely different: simplified dashboards and analytics tools allow us to quickly visualize the health and status of our equipment.
