Hauling Optimization for Real Operations
Managing the hauling cycle as a decision system, not just trip counting.
In mining operations, hauling is the backbone of productivity. However, in the field, many hauling decisions still rely on static assumptions, manual communication, and systems that do not share context. ORDO treats hauling as a dynamic process that must be understood, monitored, and optimized comprehensively.
Real Problems in Hauling Operations
Hauling problems in mines rarely stand alone. They arise from a combination of:
- ×Variations in road and weather conditions
- ×Queues at loading and dumping points
- ×Operational route changes
- ×Differences in operator behavior
- ×Information delays from the field
Limitations of Conventional Approaches
Many hauling systems today:
- Focus on trip counts
- Rely on historical reports
- Are less adaptive to real-time conditions
As a result: Decisions are often late, recommendations are irrelevant to actual conditions, and potential efficiency is not achieved. Optimization based on historical data alone is not enough in an ever-changing environment.
ORDO's Approach to Hauling Optimization
ORDO manages hauling as an operational decision chain:
Process:
- 01.NOVA captures vehicle movement and field conditions
- 02.NEXA forms hauling cycle context in real-time
- 03.META evaluates improvement opportunities and operational risks
- 04.OMNICORE ensures optimization aligns with site policies
This approach enables:
- Contextual bottleneck identification
- Route and operational pattern adjustments
- Decisions that remain auditable
Impact on Productivity
With ORDO, hauling operations can achieve:
"Optimization is performed without compromising safety and operational discipline."
Controlled Optimization
ORDO ensures that every optimization effort:
"Productivity must not be achieved at the expense of governance."
