Production volume
6 mln t of coal, (annual haulage 60 mln t), 45 dump trucks 130 t, 220 t

Piklema's contribution

– recommendations for drivers according to the optimal driving behavior (speed, acceleration along the route etc.) and for dispatchers, according driving modes and violations;

– dynamic adjustment of fuel consumption rates along routes depending on operating conditions, weather, payload, roads etc.;

– comprehensive analytics for dispatchers based on analysis of factors affecting tire mileage and fuel consumption, comparing optimization options for each factor;

– transparent comprehensive driver rating and KPIs, according influence to fuel consumption;

– diagnostic data integration with the installation of sensors (acceleration, wheel rotation, tire pressure and temperature), data integration from FMS for dashboard creation for shift hauling dispatcher.

Piklema Predictive Production Optimizer (optimisation of continious miner)

Company

Type of mine
Piklema Predictive. Case studies. Piklema Predictive Production Optimizer (optimisation of continious miner)
Production volume
2-3 mln. t of coal

Piklema's contribution

- predicting the level of methane in the face before increasing concentration and visualisation it to operator of continuous miner and mine safety dispatcher;

– rapid alert of potential critical concentrations increase and messaging it to the operator and dispatcher;

– 1, 3, 5 minutes forecast to the operator of continues miner with hints of deviation of methane level.

Effects

7 %
coal production increase (due to decrease stoppages of a mine). 3-5 stoppages of a mine per day
Coal, Undeground mine
