Typically, during a “good shift” (when shovel headings are in place, and equipment reliability is high), the difference between teams is primarily a function of the […]

This gives the mine-site a central hub to analyze data and improve the effectiveness of their fleet through allocations of trucks to shovels. Giving the dispatcher a […]
