Mining cost reduction: efficiency
Reducing costs across a mining operation can be a tough task without the use of mining software. Software like MICROMINE’s Pitram solution, has sophisticated functionality which allow it to assist with mining cost reduction by efficiently performing mine control tasks.
For large scale operations with numerous machines operating at one time, optimising fleet management correctly can potentially result in millions of dollars saved across the life of the mine. Pitram’s fleet management module is responsible for maintaining the operability and reliability across the fleet. Directly inputting data via the on-board mobile device provides a high level of data integrity and reliability which gives the control room a clearer picture of the current status of the mine. With more information, the control room is able to make more informed decisions that maximise the optimal performance of the mine. This should assist with mining cost reduction over the life of the mine.
Mining cost reduction: maximise fleet management
To maximise fleet management efficiency, operations can also utilise Pitram’s shift planner module. The module allows for the tasks of personnel or equipment to be divided into small, independent tasks and rescheduled or reallocated during the shift if necessary. As the progress of each task is tracked automatically, supervisors are notified when there is a risk of delay and can reallocate the shift to an available machine. This helps to keep the operation running without delay and reduces the costs of machines standing idle during a shift.
With Pitram’s fleet management capabilities, mining cost reduction is more easily achieved and can save operations up to millions of dollars through the optimisation of equipment use.
