One trip in five was under-loaded
The weighbridge recorded the weight, but not which shovel or operator loaded the truck, so nobody could act on it.

Case study: fewer under-loaded trips by tying the weighbridge to the shovel
At an Indian mine, Minocular joined weighbridge net weight with each GPS trip and the excavator and operator that loaded it. Under-weight trips clustered by shovel, operator and shift. With live under-weight alerts and a daily pairing report, under-loaded trips fell from 20% to 7.5% and average payload rose by 8 tonnes per trip.
Weight joined to the loading point
Weighbridge net weight was matched with the GPS trip and the loading excavator and operator. Under-weight trips turned out to cluster by shovel, operator and shift.
