The company says the solution ultimately allows miners to optimise profitability by lowering total cost of ownership.
Cummins Data Enabled Mining Solution enables customers to reduce costs by extending engine life, preventing catastrophic failures and decreasing unplanned maintenance expense.
Customised maintenance and operations solutions will also reduce costs by providing operational data visibility such as driver behaviour and idle mapping.
With real-time analysis, customers can quickly address operational matters which would otherwise have a significant impact on productivity and efficiency.
The Cummins Data Enabled Mining Solution operates over cellular networks, and in the near future, satellite communications systems. The system is able to stream real-time, high-frequency data which, when coupled with support from the expertise in our solutions centre, allows monitoring of the entire fleet, 24/7.
“We are very excited by the new technological advances that Data Enabled Mining Solution offers our mining customers,” sasy Lori Cobb, Cummins Vice President – Connected Solutions.
By reducing the time to intervene on fault notifications, equipment availability can be improved, and progressive damage can be avoided. Additionally, adaptive learning approaches will be incorporated on an ongoing basis to improve the mine’s productivity.”
