Modular's DISPATCH for two Brazilian mines

PRESS RELEASE: The DISPATCH FMS will supersede the systems on more than 100 pieces of equipment, including 34 trucks, 32 auxiliary units and 19 shovels. The DISPATCH system’s fleet optimisation functionality will be augmented by the Speed Management, Prestart Checklist, Fuel Service Management, Material Blending, KPI Dashboards, Crew Line-Up, and Mine2Plan modules; enhancing the FMS’ safety, cost control, personnel management, and equipment utilisation capabilities. In addition, Modular’s MineCare maintenance management solution will provide proactive, real-time equipment health monitoring.

Airton de Sena, general manager at Modular Brazil, said: “Because of its consistently-positive performance, the DISPATCH fleet management system has now replaced the competitive system at five sites operated by the same corporate entity. We are confident that our solutions will continue to meet the corporation’s expectations and help them achieve their operational targets.”
