From Tally Sheets to Real-Time Production Visibility in Mining

For production supervisors, keeping track of what’s happening across a mine site is a constant part of the job. Production targets, equipment performance, delays and material movements all need attention throughout the shift.

For operations still relying on paper tally sheets, getting an accurate picture of production can take time. Information needs to be collected, checked and consolidated, often in spreadsheets, before it reaches the people who need it.

With Haultrax FMS, production reporting no longer needs to be tied to paper or an office computer. Live dashboards, production data and short interval control (SIC) reporting are accessible in the field, giving production supervisors the right information at the right time.
The result? Less time chasing numbers and more time in the pit, focused on keeping production on track.

How Can Mining Operations Eliminate Manual Tally Sheets?

Every load recorded on paper is another piece of information that needs to be checked and transferred into a report. Across multiple trucks and loading units, that adds up to considerable manual work and creates opportunities for recording errors.

Haultrax FMS uses HXTag, a rugged, plug-and-play hardware device that collects granular, real-time machine data through GPS tracking, reverse input and other digital inputs.

This allows production activity to be captured automatically, without requiring operators to manually record every load or enter routine production information.

Instead of waiting until the end of the shift to consolidate production figures, teams can access up-to-date information on loads, equipment performance and material movements throughout the day.

By reducing manual recording, operations can minimise paperwork and recording errors while giving production teams more reliable information throughout the shift.

How Can Production Supervisors Access Real-Time Mining Production Data?

Having accurate production data is one thing. Making it available to production supervisors while they’re working in the pit is just as important.

With Haultrax FMS, production dashboards, shift summaries and equipment performance reports are accessible on tablets and phones, bringing information that was traditionally viewed in the office directly into the field.
Designed with production supervisors in mind, Haultrax FMS provides intuitive dashboards showing production progress against targets, load unit performance and equipment activity, helping them quickly identify where their attention is needed.

Instead of heading back to the office or chasing updates over the radio, production supervisors can access the information they need, wherever they are on site.

How Does Short Interval Control Help Production Supervisors Meet Targets?

Knowing how much material has been moved at the end of a shift is useful. But knowing whether production is on track while the shift is still running gives production supervisors the opportunity to do something about it.

With Haultrax FMS, short interval control (SIC) reporting allows production supervisors to compare actual performance against planned targets at regular intervals throughout the shift.

They can identify where production is falling behind, investigate delays and make adjustments before small issues turn into larger production shortfalls.

The Production Supervisor’s Running Mate

Production supervisors have enough to manage without spending valuable time chasing paperwork and compiling reports.

Haultrax FMS was designed to make that part of the job easier, giving production supervisors access to the information they need to manage the load and haul cycle, without adding unnecessary complexity.

That’s the idea behind the production supervisor’s running mate: technology that works alongside the people running the operation, helping them spend more time where they make a difference.
