How an innovative new payload monitoring system can help to improve fl eet productivity


SHOVEL-BASED D


uring the commodities boom, the mining industry largely ignored the technological advances that have revolutionised the


manufacturing and service sectors in favour of simply increasing production using very basic methods, bigger buckets and bigger equipment. Once the downturn hit, the industry found that traditional, low-tech solutions were no longer good enough to ‘get the job done’. Luckily there are simple yet sophisticated technological solutions available that can help the industry reverse its lacklustre productivity trend. For example, Motion Metrics has developed a sophisticated shovel-based payload monitoring system that can improve the productivity and cost- eff ectiveness of truck and shovel fl eets.


The problem: lagging productivity Although mines around the world have invested in larger machinery over the years, mining productivity has decreased continually since the
