Fleet Management System Evaluations with SRK Consulting
Europe & Asia, 2017-2026
Overview
MTS regularly works with our partners SRK Consulting, a global leader renowned for their deep-domain expertise across the entire mining lifecycle. While SRK provides world-class insights into many disciplines including geology, mine planning, simulation and engineering, MTS complements these foundational disciplines with specialised mining technology know-how.
Together, we have provided a 360-degree approach to site studies, assessments and optimisation consultation.
Integrated Audits & Operational Excellence
Our partnership has been instrumental in conducting detailed audits of Fleet Management Systems (FMS) and Business Intelligence (BI) solutions at numerous mine sites across Europe, CIS and the Americas.
Previous onsite studies have included:
System Deep-Dives: Comprehensive reviews of how mines are utilising their FMS and high precision guidance systems to meet specific mine planning goals. (Systems include Cat MineStar Fleet, Wenco, and Hexagon)
Feasibility Studies: Providing expert input and guidance for technology selection during feasibility studies.
Actionable Intelligence: Delivering strategic recommendations to enhance operational analytics, streamline decision-making, and accelerate digital transformation.
Haul Road Optimisation Studies: In depth, data driven studies to identify how well an operation is utilising its haul roads, how well the trucks are performing on the routes and how operators can be provided coaching to improve.
Unlocking Value
In a decade of collaboration, through our broad and combined expertise in mining and technology, we have helped mines:
Optimise equipment utilisation by aligning machine data with mine plans.
Streamline reporting to bridge the gap between the pit and the boardroom.
Unlock greater ROI from existing mining technology investments.
"By bridging the gap between technical engineering and digital execution, we ensure that technology serves the mine plan, not the other way around."
Frequently Asked Questions

For a decade, MTS has partnered with SRK Consulting to give mines a 360-degree approach to site studies, assessments and optimisation. SRK brings expertise in geology, mine planning, simulation and engineering. MTS adds specialised mining technology know-how.
-
The partnership has reviewed three major systems: Cat MineStar Fleet, Wenco and Hexagon. These audits covered Fleet Management Systems (FMS), high-precision guidance and Business Intelligence (BI) solutions at numerous mine sites across Europe, the CIS and the Americas. The reviews looked at how each mine uses its systems to meet specific mine planning goals.
-
A haul road optimisation study uses operational data to answer three questions. How well does the operation use its haul roads? How well do the trucks perform on each route? Where would coaching help operators improve?
