Mining
A mining machine standing idle costs several times its servicing. Fleet availability is the indicator that weighs most heavily on cost per tonne.
Stakes
What weighs on the trade
- Availability of the machine fleet
- Location and assignment of mobile assets
- Environmental conditions and worker safety
- Tracking of production and material movements
Critical operations
What must not stop
- Extraction and material movements
- Maintenance of machines and installations
- Fuel and consumables management
- Safety and environmental monitoring
- Production reporting
Why digitalise
What technology changes here
Tying each machine's real running hours to its maintenance turns a calendar plan into a usage-based one. Unnecessary servicing disappears and more failures are caught in advance.
What can be automated
- Reading of hours and cycles per machine
- Servicing triggered by real usage
- Fuel consumption tracked per machine
- Alerts on environmental conditions
- Consolidation of production reports

Our approach
A typical path in this sector
Priority fleet
Identifying the machines whose downtime costs the most.
Instrumentation
On-board units and sensors fitted to that fleet, validated in real conditions.
Usage-based maintenance
Switching from a calendar plan to one based on real hours.
Extension
Rollout and integration into production management.
