Not all validation studies are created equal. Every mine site runs on data it doesn’t independently verify, a truck scale reports a weight, a scanner reports a volume, and decisions on payload compliance, production reporting and maintenance all get made on the assumption those numbers are right.
EYEMINE has spent a lot of time refining how it approaches validation projects, and prides itself on real points of difference from the traditional validation studies run by competitors. Here’s what actually happens, and why it’s built the way it is.
What Is A Validation Study?
A validation study is EYEMINE bringing its own EYE-WEIGH and EYE-SCAN equipment onsite to independently, dynamically weigh and scan your fleet, producing a genuine, verified dataset you can measure your own numbers against, whether that’s an existing onboard system, a different vendor’s equipment, or nothing verified at all.
Two products, one independent check
A validation study is EYEMINE’s own EYE-WEIGH and EYE-SCAN equipment brought onsite specifically to check your fleet, independently of whatever you’re currently running:
EYE-WEIGH
Brought onsite to dynamically weigh trucks as they pass, 2 to 3 a minute, producing an independent weight dataset without stopping production.
Volume verificationEYE-SCAN
Brought onsite alongside EYE-WEIGH to independently scan volume and fragmentation, building a full verified picture of every load.
Dynamically Conducted, Without Slowing Production
Every EYEMINE validation study is conducted dynamically. Trucks don’t have to stop, and production doesn’t slow down, EYEMINE weighs 2 to 3 trucks a minute as they pass. Run over 3 days of weighing, for example, that builds a very high volume of data without ever taking a truck off the job.
A Self-Contained Site Office
EYEMINE brings a self-contained site office to every project, with everything needed to roll it out successfully. That streamlines efficiency and lets site staff and technicians sit comfortably for the duration of the project, working through results together rather than snatching time between other jobs.
This isn’t something competitors typically provide. A traditional validation study usually expects a lot from the customer and end user instead, facilities, time and coordination that EYEMINE brings itself.
Real Data, Analysed In Real Time
The biggest differentiator of an EYEMINE validation study is its ability to feed all source of truth weight, volumetric and fragmentation data back to the EYE-ANALYSE platform in real time. That means the data can be analysed and turned into actionable decisions while the team is still on site, not after everyone’s packed up and gone home.
Once the trucks stop running, EYEMINE can produce an executive summary report almost instantaneously. Traditionally, customers wait two to three weeks for a PDF document, maybe with a raw CSV file of the data gathered, and little else.
That’s the EYEMINE difference: real data, analysed in real time and turned into action onsite.
What You Actually Get At The End
A validation study gives you an independent, verified dataset and a fast comparison against whatever you’re currently relying on:
- If your current system’s numbers hold up against EYE-VALIDATE’s independent data, that’s confirmation your existing setup is accurate.
- If there’s a gap, that’s real evidence, not a guess, for moving to a permanent EYE-WEIGH and EYE-SCAN install.
Frequently Asked Questions
Because there’s no way to know whether your current weighing or scanning data is accurate without checking it against something independent. EYE-VALIDATE gives you that independent reference, a real, verified dataset gathered dynamically, without stopping trucks or slowing production, so decisions on payload compliance, production reporting and maintenance are based on proof rather than an assumption.
EYE-WEIGH and EYE-SCAN generate the weight and volume readings a site relies on day to day. EYE-VALIDATE is an independent study using EYEMINE’s own equipment, dynamically weighing 2 to 3 trucks a minute so nothing has to stop. Source of truth weight, volumetric and fragmentation data feeds into EYE-ANALYSE in real time, so the study sits in the same verified record as everything else.
A typical study runs over several days on site, 3 days of weighing, for example, long enough to build a very high volume of data without disrupting operations. There’s no single interval that suits every site, it depends on the equipment in place, operating conditions, and how much weight a site’s decisions place on the data. A study can be a one-off check on a new or existing system, or a first step before deciding whether to invest in a permanent install.
It means your existing system’s numbers don’t match the independent data EYE-VALIDATE collected on site, and that’s the process working as intended. It’s real evidence, not a guess, for what to do next: recalibrate or repair the current setup, or move to a permanent EYE-WEIGH and EYE-SCAN install so the site is working from verified data going forward.
Conclusion
Measurement equipment doesn’t announce when it’s wrong, it just keeps producing numbers, and a site keeps making decisions on them. A validation study is how you find out whether those numbers can actually be trusted, using an independent, dynamically gathered dataset that never slows your operation down.
EYE-VALIDATE exists to be that independent check, with source of truth data feeding into EYE-ANALYSE in real time so a site’s proof of accuracy lives alongside its actual data, not in a separate filing cabinet weeks later.
Confident data starts with equipment you’ve actually checked, not just installed. Talk to EYEMINE about running a validation study on your fleet.
