Mine Fleet Planning
Take the gut feel out of million-dollar mine fleet decisions.
Don’t gamble on million-dollar truck investments. When the marginal cost of just one more haul truck is a million dollars per year, you need to be certain.
If you are automating or migrating your entire diesel fleet to EV or even hydrogen, it’s a perfect time to re-assess how many trucks you really require. Automating or electrifying your fleet will change its operational profile¹ and, of course, you’ll need to plan the positioning of required infrastructure such as recharging points.
Our seasoned mining consultants and data scientists, using advanced technology like Gemini Mining Fleet Simulation, work with your experts to co-create a data-driven, digital twin of your operation.
With advanced 3D logic, we help you optimise truck-digger interactions, stockpiles, routing and ROM pad layout in advance. Running accurate, real-time simulations helps ensure your operating fleet is fully optimised and you avoid over-purchasing expensive assets.
Our solutions can help you:
Optimise fleet utilisation
Optimise the fleet you have before buying more. Model variables like turning logic, passing rules and truck-digger interactions. Analyse road layouts with automatic routing to spot and manage potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
Avoid wasted capital
Test your fleet purchase plans before you commit. Our consultants help you digitally model your planned purchases in operation to avoid errors.
Evaluate alternative scenarios
Accurately simulate different investment plans, flexing parameters like loading, spotting and dumping times, payloads and tipping rules with a digital twin of your operation.
Improve your design decisions
Tools like stockpile logic and load and haul logic help you optimise mine design and truck-digger interactions, testing route and layout options in advance.
Model in real time, not real life
3D digital twin simulation lets you watch your truck fleet (diesel, electric or mixed) interact in real time and space, before it meets in the real world.
Predict and prevent rather than react
Stay ahead of the game by anticipating truck and routing issues in simulation rather than responding in real life.
Plan your perfect mine fleet size and configuration before purchasing expensive assets like haul trucks. Optimise routing and equipment interactions to ensure the best return from every truck investment.
