iVolve Mine4D & ensuring data consistency
Australia’s iVolve says its Mine4D FMS solution is installed on thousands of
mining vehicles worldwide. CEO Kim Parascos says the company is focused
on helping mining
companies recognise the
importance of data and the
potential value it can bring to
the table. Parascos
emphasises that mining
companies can get excellent
benefits out of high-quality
data. “One of iVolve’s
strengths is our ability to
build and maintain OEM
agnostic interfaces to a
plethora of vehicles. If the
iVolve Display showing truck loading data
data is not consistent across
the fleet, it can lead to poor recommendations when used in analytics. With
almost two decades of experience in gathering and presenting data from mine
sites, customers can use the iVolve system to bring more value to their mining
operations. In today’s environment we see our customers really focused on
mitigating risks and seeking to achieve improved productivity, all while
keeping an eye on the bottom line. You need solid data to make that
happen.”
Since its inception, the company says it has worked with the majority of
vehicle types used in this sector. On encountering a new vehicle type, iVolve
works closely with the equipment manufacturer to create the necessary
interface to track on-board data. “iVolve Mine4D sets itself apart with its
simplicity and familiarity with mixed fleets while being flexible enough to
meet specific customer requirements.”
iVolve says it benefits customers by improving the quality and accessibility
of their data, which provides them with the information they need to support
quick decisions. An example of the benefits seen by one European mining
company focuses on iVolve’s process of accessing and analysing production
data in real time during the excavator loading operation. iVolve Mine4D’s
Production functionality enabled excavator operators to load trucks optimally
and dispelled the previously held fears of the overloading-related dismissal of
