FLEET MANAGEMENT ensures our product suite supports our partner’ s needs seamlessly.”
Fleet maintenance reporting
3D-P recently announced the release of the 3D-P Production Reporting and 3D-P Maintenance Reporting systems, powered by iVolve, adding to its current portfolio of Application Integration Solutions and Wireless Network Services. 3D-P says it has recognised a pressing need in the industry for a cost effective solution for real-time reporting of production and maintenance data from the mobile fleet. The 3D-P Production and Maintenance Reporting systems are targeted specifically at mines that are in need of simple and easy to use reporting for production and maintenance data. Running on the 3D-P Intelligent Endpoint, the system leverages the capabilities of 3D-P’ s high performance wireless networks.
The 3D-P Production and Maintenance Reporting solutions interface with the systems on board a mine’ s haul trucks, loaders and other equipment to gather production data such as payload, location, status etc, and maintenance data such as temperatures and pressures, and reports them through flexible and easy-to-use dashboards in real-time. The information can be reported to the operator in the cab, allowing trucks to be loaded more consistently and often providing up to 10 % increase in productivity.
Centre of gravity is also reported, allowing the trucks to carry larger loads safely and also supporting productivity gains.
Many mines continue to gather and report data manually resulting in delayed access to production and maintenance information. This results in delayed corrective actions that often should be taken immediately and decisions being made without all of the correct data in-hand, potentially causing significant consequences to the mine operations. The Plant Management module provides an easy-to-use real-time monitoring and control system for the management of site equipment such as light

plants and pumps.
3D-P is leveraging the partnership with iVolve, a progressive Australian company with considerable experience in the collection and reporting of real-time mine data to deliver the Production and Maintenance Reporting systems. Customers using legacy iVolve systems in Australia are consistently reporting that access to their critical equipment data is allowing them to make more timely and accurate operations decisions and is positively impacting cycle times, production and costs.

INTERNATIONAL MINING MYANMAR CONFERENCE 14th and 15th October Myanmar Convention Centre, Yangon
Myanmar is now seeing real and significant transformations to its politics and economy and is making the reforms necessary to open up the country to the world; including in relation to its mining law and environment for new mining investment. To coincide with this positive trend, the second International Mining Myanmar Conference, hosted by the Myanmar Federation of Mining Association( MFMA), will be held on 14th / 15th October 2016 at the Myanmar Convention Centre, Yangon. The conference will run during the Mining Myanmar 2016 exhibition at the same venue, organised by our partners BES and Allworld Exhibitions.
Momentum in the country is again building and there have been a couple of new Exploration Licences issued to foreign companies so there is growing interest and investor confidence. The government is also in the process of drafting a new Mining Law which is expected to be much more investor friendly; and is due to be finalised by April / May, so the October conference will be an ideal opportunity to find out the latest news on this as well as progress with existing projects.
The conference will again last a day and a half and will focus on three main areas – government, legislation and development potential; existing projects and mines; and technology, equipment and contractors. We are seeking good quality presentations in all three of these areas. Interested potential speakers should send a short abstract of 100 words to Paul Moore paul @ im-mining. com or John Chadwick john @ im-mining. com; and there are also sponsorship opportunities associated with the conference.
See www. im-mining. com for registration and updates on the conference program.
