Loading and haulage

Elevating your most valuable assets

Maintaining a skilled, knowledgeable workforce is a challenge at most, if not all, mines. Whether you need to on-board a new-hire or to refresh a veteran’s skillset, it can be difficult to find training that is engaging, technologically relevant and easy to fit into busy schedules.

Designed to offer flexibility while meeting your specific training needs, we provide options for eLearning, virtual classrooms and simulations, in-cab ride-alongs and traditional, instructor-led courses.

Available topics include:

• Autonomous haulage training
• Dispatcher training
• Operator training
• Technology and equipment training (via Immersive simulators)
• Train-the-trainer programs

Participants also benefit from competency assessments, scorecards and benchmarking; assisted operation including in-person mentoring and coaching, and behavior modification to reinforce site-specific best practices.
 

Potential unlocked

You’ve made substantial investments in technology, equipment, and personnel. Komatsu's technology and workforce performance assurance programs can help you leverage untapped value to make the most of your existing resources.

Our experts work with you to identify opportunities to enhance productivity, efficiency and operator wellbeing, and promote sustained value throughout the life of your systems.

Komatsu's performance assurance programs offer:

• Access to global best practices, expertise and experience
• Excellent truck productivity and overall equipment utilization
• Controlled truck queue times
• Customized plans to address site-specific goals in dynamic conditions
• Enhanced data integrity
• Efficient shift change time
• Lower equipment maintenance costs
• Precise grade tracking
   

To help improve your loading productivity, guided spotting is high-precision guidance that can reliably navigate your operators to the right spot the first time.Taking the guesswork out of reversal to the loading point, this technology is designed to save your operation valuable time.

• Can reduce shovel hang time by precisely guiding the haul truck to the correct location
• Created to increase loads per hour by maximizing shovel and truck productivity
• May increase productivity by eliminating bucket spotting
• You can see increased efficiency with dual-side loading capabilities
   

Actionable insight designed to improve productivity, reduce costs and drive toward zero harm through advanced visualizations of your haulage operation, digital twins and “what-if” scenarios that offer short- and long-term simulation analysis. By leveraging data, we’ll help you visualize operational gaps. Gain best practice recommendations and understand the impact on your operations.

Optimization opportunities include:

• Truck queueing Road design
• Consumption rates
• Fleet utilization
• Truck speed
• Shift change timing
   

Modular Mining DISPATCH Fleet Management System (FMS)

Truck queues, inefficient haul routes, operator inaccuracy, fueling levels, equipment health and short-term plan changes can all impact your mining productivity and operational costs.

Whether you want to move more material with your existing fleet, or hit your targets at a lower cost, Komatsu’s fleet management technology can help you optimize your loading and hauling process. The tech is informed by our experience successfully optimizing the largest mines in the world for more than 40 years so let us help you improve productivity, create efficiencies and reduce your operating costs.

Visualize your operation in real time: Maximize production, minimize costs

With the DISPATCH fleet management system powering Komatsu’s FrontRunner AHS, advanced algorithms help improve productivity through real-time decision-making and mine-wide optimization.
