WearVue – Wear Monitoring At-A-Glance
The greatest challenge for equipment using wear resistant steel; is determining when you need to replace it, before you have an unscheduled breakdown
In the past, you had two options to determine the remaining thickness in your wear steel.
OPTION 1:
Hire a non-destructive testing (NDT) outside contractor to perform the testing. You have to trust they had been properly trained with state of the art test equipment. This is not only expensive, you must work around their schedule.
OPTION 2:
Buy your own NDT thickness testing equipment and have your people learn how to operate it properly. The internet has test equipment ranging from $60 to over $1,600. The question is which one do you get? Obviously there is a huge quality difference between the various models and options.
Now You Can Observe Your Remaining Wear Life With Just A Glance
No electronics, no moving parts, no friction, just visual clarity that is easy to spot on every shift.
WearVue turns wear monitoring into a quick, visual process. These patented color-coded indicators make wear levels instantly visible. Reducing downtime, improving safety, and driving smarter maintenance decisions across mining and industrial operations. JADCO works directly with site teams to embed these color-coded indicators into high-wear components.
The WearVue patented indicators are installed into wear plate, allowing you to install them in both heat-treated steel and CCO clad plates.
In your fast paced world, safety, uptime, and timely decisions matter. Now you can install them and keep your equipment moving while determining wear status in seconds.
Installations in Komatsu 930E-5 haul trucks, have shown that proactive visibility minimizes downtime, reduces safety risks and maximizes asset life. WearVue has already been proven in the harshest operating environments, WearVue integrations are redefining maintenance from the inside out.
THE WEARVUE APPROACH
Protecting Your People
By enabling visual assessments from a safe distance, WearVue reduces the need for manual inspections in hazardous areas. That means less risk, more uptime, and a safer workforce.
Instant Wear Insights
Our intuitive, color-coded system turns complex wear monitoring into a simple visual check; No training or expertise is needed. Less guesswork, faster decisions.
Stop Unplanned Downtime
WearVue ensures maintenance happens at the right time. Maximizing wear life while reducing breakdowns and keeping your assets in service longer. Allowing your team to focus on what matters most.
WEAR MONITORING MADE VISUAL FFOR MINING & HEAVY MACHINERY APPLICATIONS
Our patented color-coded indicators make wear levels instantly visible, reducing downtime, improves safety, and drives smarter maintenance decisions.What is WearVue, and how does it work?
- • WearVue is a wear-monitoring system that uses layered colors to indicate component wear.
- • Designed so that anyone can understand it — no specialized tools or training needed.
- • Works on the same principle as traffic lights, providing instant understanding and visual feedback.
- • The material wears down at the same rate as the surrounding steel, making new color layers visible.
- • The changing colors show how much wear has occurred and when maintenance is needed.
- • This provides a simple, visual and reliable way to track component conditions in real time.
What is WearVue, and how does it work?
- • Designed to improve safety
by keeping personnel out of dangerous environments.
- • Eliminates the need for workers to climb into truck beds
with hands on ultrasonic thickness testers
- •
Color indicators clearly show wear levels
— no specialized tools required.
- • Allows inspections to be performed safely
from a distance or viewing platform quickly and accurately.
- • Minimizes machine downtime by removing the need for specialist involvement.
- • Provides instant, visual feedback on wear condition for timely maintenance decisions.
Why does WearVue use colors for wear monitoring and what do the colors represent?
This simple, universal system follows the familiar traffic-light logic:
Green: Indicates the component is in good condition and fully operational. Yellow: Signals that the material has reached a stage of significant wear. This allows time to schedule just-in-time delivery, ensuring parts can be ordered and installed, without unnecessary downtime or express freight charges. Red: Denotes critical wear, meaning immediate replacement is required to avoid failure or potential safety risks.YOUR IMMEDIATE BENEFITS:
This simple, universal system follows the familiar traffic-light logic:
- Accessible to everyone — no special training or technical equipment required.
- Instant visual recognition — the condition can be assessed within seconds.
- Features colors people understand from everyday life.
- Easy to read in busy industrial environments.
- Improves situational awareness — makes wear monitoring faster, safer, and more consistent across all skill levels.
WearVue is designed to serve industries where wear monitoring and maintenance efficiency are critical.
