Mining Time Usage Models (TUM): A Practical Guideline and Best Practices
In modern mining operations, effective mobile asset management relies on a granular understanding of how equipment time is utilised. The Time Usage Model (TUM) provides a standardised hierarchical framework to categorise equipment activity, facilitating the calculation of critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) like availability, utilisation, and operating efficiencies.
Mining Payload Management: A Practical Guide to Implementation
In almost every mining operation we visit, payload management is a primary topic of discussion. The challenges are universal: determining the ideal target payload for various truck fleets, configuring systems correctly, establishing reporting standards, and managing abusive overloading.
How to Select Mobile Mining Technology in 2026
Selecting the right mining technology is increasingly challenging. The market is complex, driven by the excitement around AI, the appearance of new vendors, missteps by established technology providers, and even some mines developing their own solutions (a subject worthy of its own discussion). This article addresses a critical question for the year……
Strategies for Validating Asset Health Data Integrity
In the modern mining landscape, leveraging sensor data for asset health monitoring and predictive analytics is essential for reducing operating costs. However, the value of advanced visualizations and AI-driven insights is entirely dependent on the quality of the underlying data.
