Transport and Fuel Management in the Mining Industry

Mining operations take place in extreme conditions, where heavy machinery and fleets operate around the clock. Haul trucks, drilling rigs, excavators, fuel tankers, and other vehicles work in remote areas under extreme loads, often with no network coverage and strict safety requirements. Effective transport and fuel management in this industry is crucial for reducing costs and increasing productivity.

Omnicomm offers a comprehensive solution for transport monitoring and fuel consumption control in the mining sector. These monitoring systems help prevent fuel theft, improve equipment efficiency, minimize downtime, and reduce maintenance costs. The most relevant solutions for this industry include:

Solution Components

Omnicomm solutions ensure full control over fuel and machinery at mining sites. Fuel level sensors provide precise tracking of consumption and prevent theft. GPS-trackers enable monitoring of equipment location, mileage, load, and operating hours.

For remote regions, Omnicomm solutions support operations in areas with no cellular coverage, allowing data storage and transmission to servers via specialized hardware and software. Additionally, solutions are available for sites with strict explosion-proof requirements, which is crucial given that fuel storage and distribution in mining often involve local fuel depots and fuel tankers.

Refueling and fuel distribution at mining sites are controlled using specialized fuel tanker monitoring solutions, helping minimize losses and unauthorized fuel usage. Integration with ERP and monitoring platforms allows automated tracking of all operations and improved fleet management.
