Smart Mining solutions

Loading and haulage

Loading and haulage are fundamental functions in the mining value chain. Under-load and over-load, under-excavation and over-excavation, excessive waiting times, and slow cycle times can affect the transportation cycle and negatively impact your production and profits.

To mitigate these issues, we partnered with our clients to design integrated mining solutions that promote more efficient matching between truck and excavator, haulage routes, excavator and truck payload metrics, and compliance with the mining plan. Real-time information is provided to equipment operators, helping customers achieve better overall performance and reduce the cost per ton.
