Haul Road Explorer (HRE) has been successfully implemented across multiple surface mining operations globally.

It is currently used in:

  • Both conventional and autonomous haulage environments

  • Diverse mining conditions and commodities

Our clients transitioned from manual and reactive road management practices to a data-driven, digital solution with Haul Road Explorer (HRE).This approach increased operational visibility, quantified lost tonnage, and enabled proactive maintenance planning across mining operations in South America, North America, Papua New Guinea, and Africa.

Implementation of Haul Road Explorer (HRE) typically follows a structured, outcome-driven approach designed to deliver rapid value while building long-term capability.

1. Data Analysis & Structuring

  • Analyse data from FMS and other systems (VIMS, MineStar, inspections)

  • Clean data (remove duplicates, fix inconsistencies) & embedding data into the HRE

  • Create a reliable, single source of truth

 2. Platform Setup & Visualisation

  • Configure dashboards and RWPA

  • Set up road networks, events, and inspection layers

  • Align visuals with site requirements

3. Departmental Training (On-Site)

  • Targeted training for each department

  • Integrating HRE into daily and weekly routines

  • Enables cross-team usage and collaboration

  • Support decision-making using HRE insights

5. Ongoing Support & Improvements

  • Continuous support after implementation

  • Introduce new improvements and features.

Developed through years of experience in the mining industry, HRE bridges the gap among Mine Engineering, Maintenance, Mine Services, and Operations, enabling data-driven decisions that directly improve productivity, safety, and cost efficiency.
