WearVue™ – Wear Monitoring At-A-Glance
One of the greatest challenges for equipment with wear resistant steel; is determining when to replace it, before you have a breakdown.
In the past, you had two options to determine the remaining thickness in your wear steel.
1st Choice:
Hire an outside contractor to perform the testing, trusting they had been trained with state of the art test equipment. This often is expensive, and you must work around their schedule.
2nd Choice:
Buy your own thickness testing equipment and have one of your people learn how to operate it properly. The question is which one do you get? The internet has test equipment ranging from $60 to over $1,600. Obviously there is a major quality difference between the various models and options.
Now With Just A Glance, You Can Observe Your Remaining Wear Life
WearVue™ indicators are available in ½”, ¾”, 1”, 1 ½” and 2” thickness. Custom sizes are available based on customer requirements.
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 clad plates.
In your fast paced world, safety, uptime, and timely decisions matter. Now you can embed them to keep your equipment moving.
Installations in Komatsu 930E-5 haul trucks, have shown that proactive visibility minimizes downtime, reduces risk and maximizes asset life. Already 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 zones. 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 expertise needed. Less guesswork, faster decisions.
- Stop Unplanned Downtime
WearVue ensures maintenance happens at the right time, reducing breakdowns and keeping your assets in service longer; So your team can focus on what matters most.
WEAR MONITORING MADE VISUAL
For Mining & Heavy Industry
These 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 visual feedback.
• As the parent material wears down, new color layers become visible.
• The changing colors show how much wear has occurred and when maintenance is needed.
• Provides a simple, visual, and reliable way to track component condition in real time.
HOW DOES WEARVUE IMPROVE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY?
• Designed to improve safety by keeping personnel out of dangerous environments.
• Eliminates the need for workers to climb into truck beds or 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?
• Simple, universal system follows the familiar traffic-light logic:
Green: Good to go
Yellow: Maintenance should be scheduled soon
Red: Time to replace
• 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.
WHAT DO THE COLORS IN WEARVUE REPRESENT?
Green: Indicates the component is in good condition and fully operational.
Yellow: Signals that the material has reached a significant wear stage. This allows time to schedule just-in-time delivery, ensuring replacement 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.
WearVue is designed to serve industries where wear monitoring and maintenance efficiency are critical.
INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS:
• Mining
Enhances safety and efficiency by monitoring truck beds, conveyor systems, and chute liners. Reduces downtime and prevents costly equipment failures.
