Mine Haulage Optimization

The DISPATCH mine management system optimizes haul truck assignments through the use of Modulars proprietary algorithms on the central server, along with state-of-the-art field hardware and communications systems to deliver higher productivity, increased efficiency, and total optimization of your fleet. The field proven DISPATCH system, with over 20 years of acceptance for its optimization algorithm, is recognized as the industry leader with more than 150 systems installed at world-class mining operations. The system is easily scalable. Fleet, Crew, Material Management, and other software modules on the server side, as well as hardware, can be added as needed. Considered the industry standard for mine management systems, the DISPATCH system is the best in the world for optimization of fleet productivity.

The DISPATCH system maximizes productivity at your site by providing optimized haul truck assignments, GPSbased equipment positioning, equipment health monitoring, maintenance tracking, blending, production reporting, and more. Examples of Fleet, Crew, and Material Management utility modules to enhance productivity include:

Auxiliary Equipment
Tracks status of each piece of aux equipment, prioritizes tasks, and assigns them remotely to the operators. Monitors maintenance performance, plans operations and fleet requirements, and identifies problem areas to improve productivity.
The HaulRoute screen used in a typical DISPATCH system offers an intuitive operator interface for optimal routing of haulage units throughout an entire mine site.

Water Truck
Tracks water truck usage and improves daily operations. Provides time/quantity percentages per road segment, output and frequency with known spray diameters, operator KPIs, and time category mapping.

Blending
Controls blending at the crushers and stockpiles. Works in conjunction with the truck dispatching algorithms.

Crew Lineup
Automatically assigns personnel to equipment before the start of shift. Assures each piece of equipment has a suitably qualified operator allocated to it. Gathers information from various database records (Roster, Equipment Qualifications, End of Shift) before assigning personnel.

Fuel Service Management

Increases overall haulage productivity by minimizing refueling events. Optimizes fuel management by allocating trucks to fuel stations based on a calculated value of fuel remaining in the tank.

The DISPATCH system optimizes haul truck assignments through the use of Modulars LP, DP and BP algorithms. For more information, please contact your account manager or regional sales office.
