How Australian Mines Spend Money to Save Money
There are a few answers which stand the test of time, and AAMG’s remote satellite telemetry and control solutions is definitely one of them.
Consider this example at a coal mine:
- One excavator is typically planned to load coal at a rate of 1000t / hr
- Todays coal price is $140 USD, or around $214 AUD per tonne.
Therefore, when an excavator is not able to operate for an hour when it was planned to, it potentially costs the operation $214,000 of lost revenue.
If a solution is able to avoid this from happening just ONCE over its lifetime, that solution is potentially worth up to $214,000.
Here are just some ways AAMG's Remote Pump Monitoring System could claim back just ONE extra hour of digging productivity:
- Remotely start a pump during heavy weather events to get a head start on pit dewatering.
- Monitor fuel levels and receive alerts to ensure pumps are continuously operational when needed.
- Remotely control RPM for optimal pump performance while increasing the lifespan of the asset.
- Instantly be notified when a pump stops operating due to a fault code.
- Track live location, engine hours and other critical health information to accurately manage maintenance schedules and reduce dreaded unplanned downtime.
While the example above may be oversimplified, the concept remains undeniably true.
Some solutions cost more when you don't have them.
