What is WearVue, and how does it work?
  • WearVue is a wear-monitoring system that uses layered colours to indicate component wear.

  • Designed so that anyone can understand it — no specialist tools or training needed.

  • Works on the same principle as traffic lights, providing instant visual feedback.

  • As the parent material wears down, new colour layers become visible.

  • The changing colours 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.

Join Mat as he explains how WearVue turns wear monitoring into a simple, visual system anyone can read.

How does WearVue handle harsh conditions?
  • Designed to improve safety by keeping personnel out of dangerous environments.

  • Eliminates the need for workers to climb into truck trays or use ultrasonic thickness testers.

  • Allows inspections to be performed safely from a distance or viewing platform.

  • Color indicators clearly show wear levels — no specialized tools required.

  • Enables anyone to conduct inspections 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 colours for wear monitoring?
  • Accessible to everyone — no special training or technical equipment required.

  • Cuts through visual and cognitive noise — easy to read in busy industrial environments.

  • Simple, universal system — follows the familiar traffic-light logic:

    • 🟢 Green: Good to go

    • 🟡 Yellow: Maintenance should be scheduled soon

    • 🔴 Red: Time to replace

  • Instant visual recognition — the condition can be assessed within seconds.

  • Built on learned behaviour — uses a colour language people understand instinctively from everyday life.

  • Improves situational awareness — makes wear monitoring faster, safer, and more consistent across all skill levels.

Kaytlin and Glenn delve into the why of our colour choice.

What do the colours 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 for just-in-time (JIT) planning, ensuring replacement parts can be ordered and installed without unnecessary downtime.

🔴 Red: Denotes critical wear, meaning immediate replacement is required to avoid failure or potential safety risks.

integration
How does VueVision integrate with WearVue?
  • Capture → Detect → Decide workflow

    • Field teams (or fixed cameras/drones) capture images of WearVue indicators.

    • VueVision analyzes the colour state (green / yellow / red) and % wear against set thresholds.

    • Results are logged instantly to the correct asset/component.

 

  • Simple asset linking

    • QR/ID on each component opens the exact asset in VueVision.

    • One tap to add photos, notes, and condition state during inspections.

 

  • Automated records & alerts

    • Time-stamped inspection history with photos for audit.

    • Triggers email/in-app alerts when items flip to Yellow (plan) or Red (replace).

 

  • Maintenance integration

    • Pushes work orders or tasks to CMMS/ERP via API/webhooks (e.g., create a “replace liner” job when Red).

    • Exports CSV/PDF summaries for managers and contractors.

 

  • Configuration & governance

    • Site-specific thresholds and colour logic (per asset type).

    • Roles/permissions, full audit trail, and change history.

 

  • Reporting & ROI

    • Dashboards for downtime avoided, life-extension, and compliance KPIs.

    • Trend lines by asset, location, or supplier for data-driven decisions.

Is WearVue compatible with existing equipment or OEM integration?

WearVue is designed for versatility and flexibility across both new and existing assets:

  • Retrofit Compatibility

    • Can be retrofitted to existing wearing parts.

    • Ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment already in use.

  • OEM Integration

    • Seamlessly integrates into new OEM components during manufacture.

    • Provides flexibility for both current operations and future equipment designs.
