HIGHLIGHTS
- Mining operators use the AdiNexus Industrial IoT Gateway to collect and centralize operational data from mine water pumps and associated dewatering equipment.
- The gateway connects pumps, VFDs, flow meters, pressure sensors, level sensors, energy meters, and PLCs into a unified monitoring environment.
- Multi-protocol connectivity enables integration between field equipment, PLCs, SCADA systems, and cloud monitoring platforms.
- Edge data processing enables local monitoring, data logging, alarm handling, and continued data collection during network interruptions.
- Remote connectivity allows operators to view pump status, water levels, flow, pressure, and electrical parameters from a centralized location.
The Challenge – Monitoring Water Pumps Across Mining Sites
Mine dewatering systems often operate across large and difficult-to-access areas. Pumps may be installed underground, in open-pit areas, sumps, drainage stations, and other remote locations. Maintaining continuous visibility of pump operation and water conditions can be challenging when monitoring depends on local panels or manual inspections.
Limited Pump Visibility
Operators may not have a centralized view of which pumps are running, stopped, or experiencing faults.
Remote Equipment Locations
Pumps installed in underground or remote areas can be difficult to inspect regularly.
Water Level Monitoring Challenges
Rising water levels in sumps and collection areas need to be identified quickly to support effective dewatering operations.
Pump Fault Detection Delays
Motor trips, VFD faults, communication failures, or abnormal operating conditions may not be immediately visible to the control team.
Flow & Pressure Monitoring Gaps
Without continuous measurement, changes in pumping performance can be difficult to identify and investigate.
Energy & Operating Data Gaps
Pump runtime, electrical parameters, and energy consumption may be distributed across different local systems.

The Solution – Intelligent Mine Water Pump Monitoring
AdiNexus Gateway acts as the connectivity layer between mine water pumping equipment and centralized monitoring platforms.
Installed within pump control panels or electrical enclosures, the gateway collects field data, processes it locally, and transfers relevant information to SCADA or cloud applications.
Integrated Systems
AdiNexus connects with:
- Mine dewatering pumps
- Submersible pumps
- Pump motors
- PLCs and controllers
- Flow meters
- Pressure sensors
- Water level sensors
- Energy meters
Supports Modbus, OPC-UA, and MQTT for connecting field devices with different communication requirements.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts
Operators can monitor:
- Pump running status
- Pump runtime
- Water level
- Flow rate
- Discharge pressure
- Motor current
- Voltage
- Energy consumption
This provides centralized visibility into both pumping equipment and the water conditions affecting dewatering operations.
Edge Monitoring & Local Data Collection
- Automatic pump data collection
- Water level threshold monitoring
- Local event detection
- Pump fault monitoring
- On-gateway data logging
- Communication status monitoring
Local data processing helps maintain monitoring capabilities even when the connection to a central platform is temporarily unavailable.
Remote Alerts & Equipment Status
Operators can receive information about configured operating conditions such as:
- High water level
- Low or abnormal flow
- Pressure changes
- Pump trips
- Motor or VFD faults
- Communication failures
- Abnormal electrical parameters
This helps the operations team identify conditions that may require inspection or maintenance.
Cloud & SCADA Integration
Mine water pump data can be connected to:
- SCADA systems
- Cloud monitoring platforms
- Central control rooms
- Industrial dashboards
- Maintenance applications
- Energy monitoring platforms
This enables centralized monitoring of pumping equipment across multiple mine locations.
Pump & Dewatering Data Analytics
Collected data can support analysis of:
- Pump runtime
- Pump utilization
- Water level trends
- Flow performance
- Energy consumption
- Fault history
- Local data buffering during connectivity outages
This historical information can help mining teams understand pumping performance and make better maintenance and operational decisions.
