Optimise mine performance with accurate payload information
Underloading and carryback are some of the biggest issues impacting cost-per-ton-hauled. Load Volume Scanning allows you to optimise every load, thereby increasing trucking factors, reducing cost-per-ton-hauled, and improving profits.
Underloading could be costing you a fortune!
Underloading requires additional truck movements to shift the same amount of material, increasing costs and reducing profits.
Our expertise in mining and technology enables us to help mines maximise productivity by optimising every load, thereby increasing trucking factors and improving profits.
Our load volume scanner accurately measures all loads and automatically generates 3D scan images that clearly indicate underloading, enabling corrective action (including operator training and coaching) to be taken.
Loaded to capacity
40 tonne payload = 22.2m³
= 10,000 truck loads
Slightly underloaded
34.5 tonne payload = 19.2m³
= 11,594 truck loads
Underloading requires 1,594 additional truck loads

Stated volumes were over-reported by 13.7% when measured against actual load volumes scanned with the MPS.
After implementing the MPS, actual loaded volumes increased by 15.8%.

Managing carryback to improve operations
Our surface and underground mining technology helps to reduce carryback, a common problem wherever material is being shifted which can seriously impact productivity.
By scanning all loads with the Loadscan MPS, carryback out of the mine is accounted for and can be deducted from shift tallies, improving accuracy of actual loads shifted.
In addition, carryback can immediately be identified through data and alerts on the message board, enabling removal from the bin.
