Logimine has long seen the benefit of real-time data to help improve management and operational efficiencies. The company’s TFT on-board technology for trucks and other quarry vehicles is now providing quarry supervisors with more key performance indicators to better manage their day-to-day running of the quarry and increase productivity. By Beatrice Atkinson, Logimine SAS, France.
Quarries face a constant challenge to increase plant and equipment efficiency, safety and durability. They need advanced systems in place to enable thorough and continuous control of every stage of the production process. The control must go upwards as well as downwards, resulting in a huge amount of information and data being shared in real-time between operators, managers and vehicles.
Key enablers for this are fleet management software and human/machine interfaces. These technologies are now becoming accessible for smaller quarries too.
