Use Technology to Boost Loading Productivity
Potential benefits from use of the system include: * Identifying and tracking haul trucks in real-time through obscurant conditions. * Dynamically guiding truck operators to the loading location using visual cues. * Alerting operators to obstructions in their path to the loading location. * Optimizing loading location placement to minimize shovel swing angle while avoiding haul truck tire degradation on the active face. * Improving spotting times by minimizing re-spotting and building operator confidence. * 24/7 operation in all weather conditions. During the study, sensors were installed at strategic points to measure vibrations in truck tray bottoms, strain at the tray bottom, strain in cross beams and rear suspension shaft and noise in the cab.\n Specifically, P&H's Payload system provides the following key information: * Current/last dipper payload, in tons. * Trended dipper payloads. * Current truck loading time in seconds. * Current deviation from target. * Current truck accumulated tons. * Current cycle time in seconds. * Swing angle, in degrees. * Total tons this shift, in whole tons. * Tons per hour of operation this shift. * Average truck loading time this shift. * Average truck tons this shift. * Average cycle time this shift. * Tons/hour of operation this shift.
