- LHD.
- Underground truck.
Drilling and auxiliary equipment:
- Production drill.
- Development drill.
- Bolter.
- Scaler.
- Explosives truck.
- Light vehicle.
- Generic auxiliary.
Mining processes:
- Production mining cycle.
- Tunnel development.
- Auxiliary work.
Our FMS Solution ...
HELIX Dispatch’s flexible nature to scale is a key benefit to any mine’s operation, from Dispatch lite, in the initial digitisation phase, through to HELIX Dispatch pro, for operations wanting the full suite of digital solutions. The flexibility can then continue, with the option to broaden digital solutions to include other integrations (both ours and verified 3rd parties) such as Tracking, Monitoring (IoT sensors + Automation), Telemetry, and much more.
This allows HELIX Dispatch to achieve your goals:
What is Dispatch lite?
As an entry-level solution, the Dispatch lite module is easy to implement and simple to use, while improving the quality and reliability of production reports. This makes it possible to have fast deployment and essential FMS capabilities.
- Control room-based FMS, with no field hardware requirements.
- Structured production tracking, task management, and reporting from day one.
- Minimal change management for operators.
- Streamline progression to Dispatch pro.
What is HELIX Dispatch pro?
The HELIX Dispatch pro module is designed for real-time fleet management and operational decision-making to optimise productivity.
- Designed for high-volume, complex mining operations.
- Real-time interaction between the control room, equipment, and operators.
- Advanced analytics and optimisation reports for the entire operation.
Key features of Dispatch pro:
- Real-time data monitoring, visualisation, and capture
- Equipment-agnostic supervision
- Operator communication and integration via touchscreen
- Purpose built and engineered for the underground.
A purpose-built FMS specifically designed for the challenges of an underground mine.
- To offer fleet management from production areas and intermediate points to the surface.
- Record material movements without operator intervention.
- Real-time visibility for underground operations
- Production tracking
- Equipment tracking.
- Crew management.
- Inventory & material movement
- Provides tools for effective time management, enabling operators and supervisors to easily identify constraints and delays.
- Increase equipment utilisation.
- Enables the identification of inefficiencies in the mining cycle.
- Real-time monitoring of progress towards production targets.
Simplifies task lists for the entire fleet, increasing equipment utilisation and maximizing material extraction.
Improve equipment operator safety with digitized pre-start checks and workplace safety checklists.
- Includes basic and optional features to tailor the solution to specific operational needs.
Key Benefits to HELIX Dispatch ...
Efficient management for operators and supervisors, HELIX Dispatch has created a modular structure
Designed to:
- Optimize equipment efficiency, performance, and utilisation
- Streamline operations
- Improve equipment operator safety with hazard tracking, digitised equipment prestart and location safety check lists
To achieve:
- Improved productivity, operational efficiency, and timely material extraction.
- Optimised resource management across all mining operations.
- Informed decision-making for rapid problem-solving.
- Ensure safety in mining operations.
Production cycle management enables:
- Tracking of multiple materials:
- Define multiple material inventories for production locations (locations and qualities).
- Make select material inventories available for loading.
- Account for ore dilution events.
- Material inventories are adjusted in real-time as material is moved.
- Automatic haul cycle capture:
- Capture all material movements with minimal operator input.
- Automatic transfer of material properties between LHDs and trucks.
- LHD OEM payload support.
- Ensure material is hauled to the correct location:
- Operators can be given a dump location assignment based on loaded material and dump availability.
