Automated Data Collection Minimizes Operator Input
Intelligent use of GPS technology and information from onboard OEM systems allows Wenco to accurately determine equipment activity, location, time, and production information automatically. Minimizing operator input reduces input errors and results in accurate, reliable and consistent data collection.

Automatically Assign Trucks to Reduce Operating Costs
The Wenco dispatching algorithm automatically assigns trucks to achieve the best utilization of mining equipment and maximize production. After the first year of implementation one client reported a 3% reduction in operating costs while increasing the amount of mined material by approximately 16%.
Benefits of the Dispatching
include:
- Improve Truck Deployment: by minimizing shovel wait, truck wait, and truck empty travel time.
- Improve Ore Quality Control:
by determining the rates for each shovel to achieve the best material grade and dispatching to meet that plan.
- Prevent Costly Mistakes with “Off-Route Detection,” a feature that alerts supervisors of trucks heading to the wrong destination.
- Maximize Production with Real-Time Monitoring displaying equipment location and status gives supervisors the information to make decisions without delay. |
