Accurately track efficiency performance in real time

EFFECTIVE EQUIPMENT UTILISATION 

 

The effective equipment utilisation depends on maximising the effective operational working hours of the mining equipment. The following KPI’s are measured and reported to manage effective equipment utilisation:

 

Equipment Availability – This is the mechanical up-time of the equipment and is measured as a percentage of available shift hours, by recording planned and unplanned maintenance. This target depends on the shift system used by the mine

 

Equipment Utilisation – this is the total productive time of the equipment in hours. It is measured as a percentage of available hours, by recording non-productive time, which includes blasting delays, fatigue breaks, shift changes and any other work stoppages.

SAFETY AND HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 

In mining one of the most critical metrics to measure from both a production as well as a safety perspective is operator performance and key control. This allows for all the equipment productivity and efficiency KPIs to be further linked to specific operators.

VISUAL DASHBOARD

 Management of mining projects are results driven, and requires a solution which can, in real time, present a visual dashboard reporting the above key performance indicators in a summary.

MANAGE SERVICES 

Sens mining offers this solution to its clients as a managed service. This means that Sens takes responsibility for the technological aspects of the solution on-site as well as on the backend measured against an SLA with its clients.

PRODUCTION AND EFFICIENCY 

The cost of surface mining is largely dependent on the output of the mining team. To lower the mining cost, the mining team should be optimised in terms of

  • Loader output,
  • Truck fleet and,
  • Ancillary mining cost.
