Hitachi Construction Machinery MENA
Fleet Management System (FMS) provided by Wenco International Mining Systems Ltd., a Hitachi Construction Machinery Group company, provides real-time monitoring of each dump truck to optimize vehicle operation and support efficient mining operation.
FMS has an extensive track record of installation primarily at open-cast mines around the world. The system provides comprehensive support for mining operation through a wide range of applications ranging from optimizing dump truck maintenance to estimating mining quality and yield based on percentages of material or ore content to be produced.
FMS plays a large role as the basis for Hitachi Construction Machinery’s Autonomous Haulage System (AHS).

How Does It All Work?
ABC Gold Mine runs with 25 130 MT haul trucks and three Hitachi EX5500 shovels.
The new manager needs to maximize productivity, increase safety, lower operating costs. He orders Wencomine FMS, plus BenchManager, PitNav, Dynamic Dispatch, and Wenco Learning. Dispatchers drag-and-drop trucks to shovels in Wencomine FMS’s Fleet Control application. Operators receive the same assignments on their onboard computer. Onboard touchscreens switch to PitNav automatically to guide operators as they drive. Shovel operators watch BenchManager guidelines to load trucks with precision. Operators follow onscreen PitNav guidance to the dump. Dispatchers watch haul cycle progress through Fleet Control automatic updates. Dynamic Dispatch sends an automatic, unexpected assignment to trucks. The dispatcher watches carefully, trusting the data-driven algorithm. Operators carry out their onscreen assignments. At the end of shift, the manager receives a PDF report via e-mail. Reports show better outcomes with Dynamic Dispatch. The manager orders more Dynamic Dispatch training for dispatchers. Dispatchers work through Wenco Learning courses to gain a better understanding of Dynamic Dispatch. They test out ideas introduced in Wenco Learning. The manager receives more shift reports, which show increased use of Dynamic Dispatch and improved production. He writes a report to ABC Gold executives, showing the mine’s improved function.
