Technology is transforming how particle size distribution is measured, and WipWare is leading that change.
With advanced image-based analysis, WipWare enables fast, accurate, and automated size distribution insights directly from site or conveyor belt data. What once took hours of sampling and lab work is now delivered in near real time, helping engineers make smarter, faster decisions.
From blast optimization to crusher control and process stability, WipWare turns fragmentation data into actionable intelligence that improves efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances overall plant performance.

Don’t start with the measurement. Start with the decision.

Before choosing a measurement method, determine what decision could change the process, what evidence would justify it, where and how often that evidence is needed, and who—or what—will act on the result.

Those answers determine whether the application requires periodic analysis, automated load measurement or continuous conveyor monitoring.

At WipWare, we work backward from the operational objective to identify the right evidence, measurement point, frequency and solution.

If the result cannot support an action, you may be collecting data—not creating value.

One operation. Multiple measurement points.

Different stages create different measurement needs.

WipFrag supports flexible field, laboratory and drone-based analysis. Reflex automatically measures material carried by trucks, loaders and buckets. Solo provides continuous monitoring on conveyor belts.

The goal isn’t to force one technology into every application. It’s to choose the right measurement method for the decision that matters.

One process. Three measurement points.

For a planned gold-processing application, three WipWare Solo systems were selected for different stages of the crushing and HPGR circuit:

• Post-primary crusher: Monitor crusher output to support gap management, automation and compliance.

• Pre-HPGR: Identify oversize feed before it reaches the HPGR, supporting consistent operation and equipment protection.

• Post-HPGR: Measure the resulting product against the operation’s target particle-size range and evaluate output consistency.

Each location answers a different operational question. Together, the systems will provide visibility into how the material changes through the process.

WipWare helps customers choose not only the right measurement technology, but also the locations and methods needed to support control, compliance, protection and performance.

Because you can't manage what you can't measure!

Is 2D or 3D the most important question when selecting a material-measurement system?

It matters—but the application comes first.

Material visibility, particle range, lighting, dust, motion, installation location, calibration and the intended use of the results all influence whether a measurement will be useful.

For 40 years, WipWare has helped customers choose the right solutions and establish measurement methods that work in real operating conditions.

The best technology is the one that reliably measures the right material, in the right way, for a decision the operation can act upon.

Because you can't manage what you can't measure!

Part 11 - Reviewing the Journey of the First Online Automated Fragmentation Analysis Technology: Applications of the First Online Fragmentation Analysis System Beyond the Mining Industry.
By 1999, two of the original System I units had been sold, followed by several installations of the more advanced System II, which supported multiple camera heads, up to 12 cameras operating simultaneously. The success of automated fragmentation analysis in the mining industry soon demonstrated that machine vision technology could solve a much broader range of industrial measurement challenges.
It is worth noting that by 2000, WipFrag 2 had been developed with numerous improvements, bug fixes, and user-driven enhancements, including fine calibration capabilities. These advancements laid the foundation for the expansion of WipWare Inc.'s technology into many other industries.
