Systems and methods for monitoring an attachment, such as a breaker head, for a mining machine. The system includes a breaker head, a wireless identification tag, a sensor, and an electronic processor. The wireless identification tag is coupled to the breaker head and includes a tag memory storing an identifier of the breaker head and an antenna. The sensor is configured to generate measurement data associated with the breaker head. The electronic processor is configured to receive measurement data from the sensor, generate a notification based on the measurement data, and transmit the notification to the wireless identification tag. Additionally, the wireless identification tag is configured to store the notification. The notification can then be later retrieved from the wireless identification tag by various devices, such as a further mining machine or a reader device of maintenance personnel.
A system for monitoring an attachment for a mining machine, the system comprising:
A method for monitoring an attachment for a mining machine, the method comprising:
A breaker head for a mining machine, comprising:
The breaker head of claim 19, wherein the tag electronic processor is further configured to retrieve the notification from the tag memory and transmit the notification via the antenna.
