Magnetic Products Inc. (MPI) Launches the World’s First Magnetic Separation Mobile App Monitor
Patented Intell-I-Mag® gets even easier with new mobile app-hands-free tramp metal monitoring in the palm of your hand
MPIMAGNET.COM-Magnetic Products Inc. (MPI) is set to introduce the Intell-I-Mag® magnetic separation mobile app, the world’s first real-time, hands-free, tramp metal monitoring system accessible on mobile devices at this year’s PackExpo, taking place from November 3-6 at McCormick Place Convention Center, booth N-5543.
Keeping metal contaminants out of bulk materials is an ongoing challenge—one that, if not appropriately planned for and prioritized, can cost a company millions of dollars in rejected products, expose them to recall risk, and damage brand reputation. The consequences of metal contamination extend beyond financial losses; they can also lead to devastating impacts on customer trust and safety.
This robust magnetic separation technology conveniently tells operators and personnel exactly when a magnet needs to be cleaned—and when it does not. Intell-I-Mag® self-monitors and provides real-time performance alerts, eliminating unnecessary maintenance downtime while protecting the product from metal contamination. This feature allows operators to optimize their magnet cleaning schedule, reduce downtime, and maintain the performance of their metal control system—significantly improving operational efficiency and product quality.
The Intell-I-Mag® dashboard can be accessed from a factory-integrated PLC, local HMI display, through a secure online link from an on-site or remote computer, or on-the-move via the smartphone mobile app. This versatility ensures that users can manage their systems from anywhere, thus enhancing flexibility and response times in their operations.
The Intell-I-Mag® mobile application (available for Apple and Android) empowers operators and managers to monitor, control, and access data from magnetic separators in real-time via their mobile devices. With user-friendly graphics and alerts, the app allows for on-the-go monitoring of each magnet within a facility. Users can configure and manage their magnetic separators directly from their smartphones—collecting, processing, and analyzing real-time data. The app also provides customizable alert settings to ensure optimal performance of their metal control system. Additionally, operators and managers can remotely track key performance metrics such as metal capture volume, and current and maximum temperature, allowing them to make informed decisions quickly.
As industries grow and evolve, the need for such technology becomes increasingly critical. The key features of the Intell-I-Mag® app showcase how digital transformation can improve traditional processes, aligning with broader industry trends toward automation and data analytics.
“The Intell-I-Mag® controller and mobile app are an industry game changer. The Intell-I-Mag® app can be customized with user-defined capacity levels; easy-to-read graphics display visual alerts when the magnetic separators reach those user-defined thresholds. Operators can boost productivity, minimize downtime, and enhance overall efficiency directly from their smartphone,” stated Kyle Rhodes, MPI Executive Vice President. This capability not only streamlines operations but also increases the overall effectiveness of contamination control measures.About Magnetic Products Inc (MPI)
