EYE-SCAN
EYE-SCAN is a non-contact mining Haul Truck Volume Scanning System used to measure loads of bulk loose material and payload weight in real time.
The EYE-SCAN system is designed to scan the payload weight and volumetric loads of mining haul trucks in real time. This system works in dynamic mode, with a scan head positioned above the truck. As a mining haul truck drives through the scanning area, it enters the field of view of the laser scanners, which take thousands of distance measurements every second. These measurements help create an accurate profile of the load and calculate the payload weight of the truck.
The EYE-SCAN system provides fast, real-time feedback, allowing for quick analysis of the payload weight and volume. With its advanced software, EYE-SCAN processes the data rapidly, making sure that the measurements are accurate and up-to-date. This enables mining operations to track and manage payload weight effectively across all trucks in the fleet.
By providing real-time feedback, the EYE-SCAN system helps to optimise the loading process of mining haul trucks. It makes sure that each truck is loaded efficiently, without underloading or overloading, which can reduce fuel consumption and prevent wear on equipment. With continuous tracking of payload weight, operators can make informed decisions to improve operations and increase productivity.
The system is designed for 24/7 use, providing ongoing monitoring and validation of performance. It supports validation testing, allowing mining companies to measure and track all commodities moved by the haul trucks. The real-time data from the EYE-SCAN system makes sure that every load is accurately measured and optimised for better results in mining operations.
LOAD SENSORS
- Identify each and every commodity moved
- Measure actual volumes, not estimated or converted weight
- Track real-time $ BCM and contract KPI’s
- Improved Load + Haul performance and optimise truck factors
- Measure and alert of Carry-Back thresholds
- Automate and track truck patterns, locations etc.
- Visual 3D reports on loaded bodies
- Analyse the suitability of the truck and body batch to loading equipment
- Seamless data interface and mine management system
ACCURACY
- Volume scanning is complementary to measuring weight with scales
- Combining weight and volume for measuring payload weight is more accurate
- Combination of volume and weight gives accurate material densities
- Converting from volume back to payload weight using bulk density factors has proven more accurate than using onboard or dynamic weighing systems
- Volume scanning measures actual load volumes in truck bodies, regardless of the theoretical load capacity
ONSITE TECHNICAL SERVICES
Using accurate data to optimise mine asset investment is crucial for any mining operation. However, obtaining accurate data is just the beginning! EYEMINE takes data to the next level through a systematic approach that combines specialist technology, years of experience, and smart logic. This powerful blend allows us to gather and thoroughly analyse key data, especially payload data, which is essential for improving haul fleet performance.
Through our advanced technology and solutions, EYEMINE helps mining companies gain a deeper understanding of their haul truck operations by collecting real-time data that is both reliable and actionable. By analysing this mining data, we are able to identify inefficiencies and areas where performance can be enhanced, ensuring that every mining haul truck is operating at its best.
This process results in a comprehensive suite of actions and deployable solutions that mining companies can use to boost the performance of their haul fleets. Whether it's improving payload weight management, optimising loading times, or reducing downtime, EYEMINE provides the insights needed to make informed decisions that lead to measurable improvements in both operations and profitability.
With real-time data from our system, mining companies can track the performance of their haul trucks, enhance fleet management, and optimise payloads. By consistently monitoring and acting on this data, companies can ensure they are making the most out of their asset investments and achieving the highest possible efficiency in their operations.
Mining haul trucks are scanned by driving below an elevated scan head, which can be mounted on a pole, gantry, or underground mine portal.
Empty truck is scanned to create reference scan in the database.
The scanning process is fully automated.
VOLUMETRIC SCANNING & FRAGMENTATION
The scan engine is the heart of our volume scanning systems. Using "eye-safe" Lidar technology, the range finder lasers in our EYE-SCAN systems are the highest specification available.
Accurate scanning alone doesn't guarantee accurate data!
Only when you combine it with our proprietary algorithms, along with payload weight data through our "source of truth" logics, do you get reliably accurate measurement data that enables you to make confident business decisions. By integrating mining haul truck data and real-time scanning, we make sure that the payload weight and overall mining fleet performance are always optimised. With this combination, you can trust the data provided to track payloads, make informed decisions, and continuously improve your mining operations.
