At an Indian cement limestone mine with more than 45 machines, Minocular fused GPS cycle traces with shift-report TPH and fuel LPH. The crusher lead grew from 2.20 to 2.52 km, but loaded haul speed rose from 16.1 to 17.1 km/h, so dumper TPH held at 176–177 t/h and dumper LPH fell from 39 to 37 L/h.
As the pit advanced, the lead distance from face to crusher grew by about a third of a kilometre. A longer haul usually means fewer tonnes per dumper-hour.
GPS cycle traces gave lead distance and loaded haul speed for every trip. These were joined with TPH from the shift report and litres per hour from the fuel sensors.
Loaded haul speed rose, so tonnes per dumper-hour did not fall, and diesel per hour went down rather than up.
Crusher lead distance and loaded haul speed from GPS cycle traces, dumper TPH from the shift report, and dumper litres per hour from fuel sensors.
Lead distance grew from 2.20 to 2.52 km, loaded haul speed rose from 16.1 to 17.1 km/h, dumper TPH held at 176–177 t/h and dumper LPH fell from 39 to 37 L/h.
Faster loaded hauls absorbed the extra distance, with no extra diesel per hour.
A cement limestone mine in India with more than 45 machines on Minocular.
Yes, at any mine with GPS on the dumpers and a shift TPH report. Fuel sensors add the LPH view.
