Our Solution 

In collaboration with the client's management team, our team devised a comprehensive solution involving the establishment of a Center of Excellence: 


  • Center of Excellence Establishment: We set up a dedicated Center of Excellence to collaboratively design and deliver a solution addressing the specific challenges faced by the mining company. 


  • Sensor Data Gathering: Deploying sensors across the global fleet of mobile equipment to collect real-time data on location, movement, load, usage, speed, and efficiency. This comprehensive data collection provided insights into the entire transportation cycle. 


  • Algorithmic Analysis with Machine Learning: Applying advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze the collected sensor data. This facilitated the development of a dashboard for real-time monitoring and benchmarking at various stages of the transportation cycle, ensuring optimal use of equipment. 


  • Cloud-Based AI Analytics: Implementing a cloud-based AI analytics solution to empower mine operators to monitor throughput and efficiency. The solution provided insights into the root causes of lower yields on a near real-time basis, facilitating proactive decision-making to address operational challenges. 


  • Pilot Implementation: Conducting a pilot phase at three different mine sites to refine and validate the solution. The success of the pilot paved the way for the global extension of the solution in its second phase.
