The system delivers both machine and operator performance data, including machine idling time, speed, utilisation reports, payload and impact monitoring.

The user-friendly system captures the data in real-time, meaning information can be delivered faster and as a result changes can be implemented more promptly. Mine managers are also able to receive ‘live alerts’ which brings serious issues to attention immediately, which can minimise and/or eliminate extensive damage to machines, resulting in less downtime.

All information is displayed on an interactive dashboard which can be accessed via any smart device with internet access – anywhere, anytime.

EarthTrack can be fitted to any mobile machine models and brands used in surface and underground mining - from light vehicles to loaders, lighting towers and dozers. If it is part of a mining fleet, the technology can be adapted.

RCT’s head of product management, Dave Holman, said: “One of the reasons EarthTrack has an advantage over every other system available is because it is universal over all machine types and brands which allows them to gather all the machine data into one area – making it very easy analyse their equipment both individually and as a group.”
