Case Study: Machine Counter

3D-P in Action

• Small mine was operating without a fleet management system

• Relied on driver logs to determine trips to the dump, hopper, etc. per shift

• They were using this information to manually for stockpile management

Customer Scenario

• Time-consuming process• Logs were often incomplete or missing• Quantities & classifications of stockpiles were always wrong• FMS was deemed to expensive

• Is there a better way to collect this information?

• Location aware application on each Intelligent Endpoint

GMS Server&

SQL Database

Wireless Network

Geofence zone

(1)• Geofence zones defined around each stockpile(2)• Server application to receive messages and log in SQL dB(3)

Each time a haul truck entered a pre-defined geofence zone, the application transmits a message to the server application with vehicle ID, zone ID, location & time stamp. This is logged in a SQL dB which can be queried.

Improved data – stockpile quantities and classifications now accurate

More data – cycle times can now also be tracked

Improved efficiencies – no need to need to manually compile logs

Improved productivity – drivers spend their time travelling instead of logging

Benefits

Low cost, high gain• No new hardware • Over the air upload• Better data• More data• Less effort
