MINEXPO 2_proof 24/08/2016 10:41 Page 8 MINEXPO PREVIEW II decide on services and products, which can increase their efficiency and thus improve their profitability. At the fair, Scania Site Optimisation will be showcased in a control tower container. “Scania Site Optimisation is a framework of tools and methods which identifies inefficiencies in logistical flows,” explains Winblad. “We are able to find and target bottlenecks in those flows using information relayed to us from communication units in each vehicle. That helps us map the flow in the mine – such as where the trucks load and unload – and provides us with data that we can analyse. “Based on our analysis, we can provide the customer with a choice of services, products and actions to help them improve efficiency. We believe that Scania Site Optimisation could have a huge positive impact on a mining operator’s bottom line.” Scania Site Optimisation measures and evaluates production performance factors in five aspects, all of which are issues commonly faced by the mining industry: n Time (e.g. cycle time, uptime, queues of trucks, etc.) n Road (e.g. route design, maintenance issues, etc.) n Load (e.g. equipment matching, overloading, spilling, etc.) n Safety (e.g. overspeeding, etc.) n Sustainability (e.g. fuel consumption, emissions, etc.). Customers can then choose from a full range of solutions according to their individual needs, whether it be data reporting, advisory services, improvement services, or even the outsourcing of the management of parts of their whole transport operation to Scania. Also on display at the Scania stand are a range of fuel-efficient engines for use in equipment, such as screening devices, crushers and gensets. Scania’s modular system allows for tailoring equipment to any application, including mining operations, using a limited number of wellproven components. This, in turn, gives swift and reliable access to parts and service. “We have expertise from other industries such RESISTO R S ARE WHAT GRIDCOM DOES BEST! ur Visit o 41 # 41 th o o b Expo at MIN 2016 Gridcom Enterprises Ltd.

Our modular approach means that the services already exist to fill the briefcase with,” Winblad says. Scania’s stand also features a mobile workshop that could be put into operation at any site and gives access to professional service also in remote areas. The mobile workshop is a flexible alternative to a permanent workshop. It is included in a standard container with necessary equipment such as tools and compressors attached to it. Though not being showcased at the fair, Scania also has two other exciting areas of work in the pipeline. Autonomous transport solutions and the greater earning ability of Scania’s new performance steps for heavier vehicle payloads are just two further signs of ongoing commitment to profitability and sustainability. ThoroughTec Simulation says it will be “breaking new ground” at MINExpo with “plans to reveal a number of exciting new products that emphasise its commitment to providing mines with the most powerful workforce performance development technologies available on the market.” There will be the brand new CYBERMINE  3210/..-,+*/2)(1'&-%$ #)"/-!1 *-1-2+0)-,)20--%$ +*)(')&%$#"! #%''#&%&##%&)"##(%&()(#(( #1")+1*)(-,1/((+*'-%$ )(1-#12* )((--*/-%%-%$ +*)(')&%$#"! #(%&()(#(( 3&.+0)(-/")2)+1*- %$ )(1-#12* )((--*/-% % -%$ +*)(')&%$#"! #(%&()(#((##($'&#(%&' (1)+1*- %$ #)"/-!1 *-1-2+0)- 1//2-%% -%$ +*)(')&%$#"! #'# )'%#%!
