Getting Good WipFrag Results
Good WipFrag results begin with good image acquisition. Images should be clear, properly scaled, and representative of the material being measured.
Before capturing an image, ask yourself:
Can I clearly see the particles I need to measure?
Does this image represent the material I am measuring?
Am I using the correct scaling method?
Have I captured enough images to represent the variability of the sample?
For large or variable samples, capture multiple representative images rather than relying on a single photograph. Good fragmentation analysis starts with good sampling and image acquisition.

How Do Mineral Processing Teams Use WipWare Inc. System Data?

There are several applications for WipWare’s photoanalysis technology at the mineral processing level. One of the most important is particle size analysis, which provides real-time information on the size distribution of material entering the processing circuit.
Mineral processing teams use this data to understand how feed size affects feed rate, crusher performance, energy consumption, throughput, and material blending, ultimately supporting more consistent and optimized production.

Crusher efficiency and throughput are influenced by several factors, including feed particle size, feed rate, and material characteristics. By continuously monitoring the material on a moving conveyor belt, WipWare Inc. onboard Camera systems provide 24/7 automated particle-size data, with images captured and analyzed in real time.
This continuous stream of information enables processing teams to quickly identify changes in feed characteristics and take corrective action before they negatively affect downstream operations. The data can also be integrated directly into plant control systems, enabling automated process monitoring and control.

With communication protocols such as Modbus TCP and OPC UA, WipWare systems can transfer particle-size and material data to existing control and automation platforms. This creates an opportunity for real-time process feedback, automated decision-making, and improved control of mineral processing operations.

WipWare system data helps mineral processing teams move from periodic sampling and delayed analysis toward continuous, data-driven process optimization.

WipFrag EDM AutoScale & xP-Fan Calibration
WipFrag’s new EDM AutoScale feature makes it easier to scale images captured from a mobile device or UAV. Users can zoom in to capture a detailed image of a rock pile, or capture a single image from a known distance or height. All you need is the distance from the camera to the rock pile when taking the image.

For underground operations, capturing images of material at the draw point is now easier than ever. Simply mark a known reference point or distance for image acquisition, and WipFrag can be used to scale the image accurately.
The same approach can be applied to material in stockpiles, bins, and crusher hoppers, allowing users to zoom in and capture detailed images for accurate fragmentation analysis.

In this video, I demonstrate the new EDM AutoScale feature, including how it can be used with both mobile devices and UAV imagery. I also demonstrate the xP-Fan calibration feature for improved particle size distribution analysis.

Thirty years of Tecnoil Peru — and more than 25 years of friendship with WipWare.

Our partnership began when Luis Vega and WipWare founder Tom Palangio met in Arequipa in 2000. Since then, the Vega family has helped bring WipFrag to mining operations across Peru, while our families built a friendship that has lasted through the years.

Congratulations to the entire Tecnoil team on this milestone! Read the story:

WipWare congratulates the Vega family and celebrates more than 25 years of partnership bringing fragmentation analysis technology to mining operations across Peru.
