Minegaze

Open-pit or surface mining - mobile machinery load and haul monitoring

Open-pit or Surface Monitoring

Minegaze is our fully OEM-agnostic solution designed for installation on open-pit or surface trackless mobile machines (TMMs). These TMMs are continuously monitored, with hardware ensuring that their location histories are securely preserved. The primary objective of Minegaze is to optimise production by empowering better decision-making through high-quality information. The system provides live tracking, production metrics, and telemetry data to relevant stakeholders in real-time. With edge computing capabilities, data is cached locally for extended periods in case of poor connectivity. A key feature of Minegaze is Machine-to-Machine data sharing, which enables low-latency communication, such as between excavators and dump trucks at the bottom of a pit.

Production and Productivity

A key feature of the system is its ability to collect, offload, and ultimately report on load and haul production metrics. It ensures that quality information reaches the relevant stakeholders in a timely manner. The platform includes dashboards, reports, scheduled reports, alerts, and custom insights to accommodate any use case. Production data by loading area, tipping area, material type, excavator, or dump truck is available at all times. Integration with mine planning and scheduling software improves compliance and shortens the control loop. Additional productivity insights such as cycle times, loading durations, and tipping durations are continuously recorded.

Telemetry and Integration

Minegaze also collects telemetry data, such as engine hours, generated by the trackless mobile machinery and transmits it to the server along with tracking data. Additionally, AccuCAN, our proprietary device, enables seamless integration with various onboard sensors and devices, including operator identification, fuel, and strain sensors. This capability allows Minegaze to push through an extensive range of onboard integration possibilities and data points.

  • Rate and Capacity Insights to Increase Your Throughput

    Minegaze was developed to perform the core feature of production monitoring extremely well. Continuous automated data is collected and provided on the software platform showing:

    - Cycle times, loading duration and tipping durations - Number of active machines, availibility and utilisation - Production by loading area, tipping area and machine

  • Improved Decision-Making Resulting in Cost Savings

    By increasing throughput while ensuring the operation is effective and its processes are efficient, the following waste is removed:

    - Inefficiencies - Bottlenecks such as over trucking - Opportunity Costs - Costs related to non-compliance

  • Cost-effective Tool Providing You the Actual Performance

    Many hours are spent on long-term planning and short-term scheduling, but the actuals are only available periodically after a tedious survey process. Minegaze provides live actuals and integrates with planning on:

    - In-shift compliance dashboards - Operator dispatching for control - Actual vs Call Reports - Actual Performance vs Equipment Specifications
