Responding to the industry’s shift toward condition-based maintenance, TitanDrill has deployed CarbideSense—a cloud-connected sensor platform embedded directly into its premium tungsten-carbide drill bits.
Using micro-accelerometers and thermal impedance sensors, it transmits real-time data on cutting-edge degradation, shock load history, and matrix erosion rates to fleet management dashboards.
Piloted with Rio Tinto’s Pilbara operations, the system reduced unplanned bit failures by 68% and increased average penetration rate consistency by 19%—setting a new benchmark for intelligent consumables in modern mining.
