As with any industry of longstanding tradition, the mining industry is not without its issues and shortcomings that compromise profitability, resources, safety and performance — all which could be mitigated with the introduction of modern IoT technology.
Whether you’re facing problems in your operational approach or looking to innovate, you’ve come to the right place.
Problems
Lack of formal planning, communication, and issue recording
Suboptimal, slow communication around shifts and maintenance updates
Inconsistent supervision and handover quality
Discrepancies between engineering plans and operational execution
Poor synchronisation between departments
Inability to remotely monitor assets, machinery and crew
Malfunctions, hazards, repairs, etc. often not discovered nor reported on time
Product
Bringing togethers years of research, our data-driven modules offer you a transformative approach to operational management, combining real-time strategic insights with proactive tools for seamless integration. Explore the synergy of Canary’s modules for your unique needs, and empower your organisation with improved efficiency, cost optimisation, enhanced safety protocols and more.
01
Monitor your assets and crew with real-time precision in this comprehensive module. From daily kilometres travelled and engine hours, to speeding events and idling times down to the second, Asset Tracking has everything you need to stay on top of your operations and maximise potential in every shift.
02
Our KPI Dashboard module takes live data from your organisation and translates them into intuitive, aesthetically pleasing visualisations of your work performance. With granular insights at a glance, you’re empowered to pinpoint gaps and opportunities in your organisation, make informed decisions, and manage resources with ease.
03
With the complete oversight and control that the Shift Monitoring module provides, supervisors can monitor their crew — whether in the control room or on the field. Track progress towards daily targets for each asset, view and compare performance over time, and easily identify any assets falling behind.
04
Track how, which, where and when materials are dispersed across your site with Material Movements. By generating custom virtual geofences across your site, our technology accurately captures cycle times to record loading, travelling, and dumping durations for every asset on the shift.
05
Improve sustainability and reduce costs simultaneously with the integrated Dust Control module. Our tablet app streamlines watering schedules between operators using live data and IoT sensors, ensuring all areas across your site are dust-free in a timely manner while maximising every last drop of water.
06
Built with asset health in mind, the Maintenance module makes it effortless to oversee vehicle conditions, minimise downtime between repairs, and attend to operational issues as soon as possible. With additional insights into engine hours and environmental conditions, maintaining longevity for your fleet has never been easier.
07
Designed for budget management, the Utilisation module allows you to make informed financial decisions for your organisation. With informative insights into your monthly spending and costs spent on engine hours vs. idling time, you can eliminate unnecessary costs while focusing on what matters most.
08
Shift handovers and transitions are a streamlined, hassle-free process with the precision that Shift Planning provides. With the ability to thoroughly plan each shift in advance, down to the zones, material, and ancillary equipment, your entire crew stays synchronised to ensure every shift in your organisation achieves operational success.
09
Operational delays and inefficient communication become problems of the past with this specialised equipment dashboard. Track the productivity of your Dry Mining Unit (DMU) and its allocated dozers, sent straight to your dashboard from the operators’ DMU app capturing performance in real time.
10
Performing pre-start checks on all assets can generate a significant load of paperwork that becomes progressively difficult to maintain. The Pre-Start Checks Module allows supervisors see and inspect every pre-start check — without any of the paperwork —while providing useful graphs with insightful KPIs.
11
Working underground renders ventilation of paramount importance for performance and safety. Our Ventilation Module helps control every fan installed within the site, as well as oversee their performance and the traffic in each of the mine tunnels to maintain optimal environment conditions for your site.
12
Monitoring the health of underground pumps is more than a matter of efficiency; it’s a cornerstone of safety, productivity, and sustainability. With detailed live data presented in an intuitive fashion, the Pumps module lets your organisation stay on top of any issues with your mechanical assets — even from a remote location.
13
With User Management, managing every member of your organisation is effortless on one dashboard. Create and manage different type of users, assign users to different departments or crews, and create individual PIN numbers according to the type of asset assigned to the user.
14
Create, assign, and manage tasks for individual staff in the Action Logs module. Alongside task histories for your organisation, records of all significant actions and decisions in this comprehensive log yield a detailed audit trail for accountability and continuous improvement.
Solution
By centralisation and IoT powering your organisation with real-time data, supervisors can quickly identify shortcomings in work output, track idle or lost time, and allocate resources accordingly to reap significant operational savings.
As an integrated system, Canary allows boundless insight and control — from detailed cycle times for any asset to remote asset control and meticulous shift planning in advance, you’re always one step ahead to ensure your operations run seamlessly in every shift.
Instantaneous connectivity keeps your organisation connected at all times, no matter where you are. Communicate with crew instantly to supercharge operations, smoothly transition between shifts, and significantly reduce downtime by addressing issues as they occur.
Data collection and measurements over time will enable a deep understanding of your organisation’s productivity and performance — leading to maximum efficiency in processes and crew who will work in parallel with daily, weekly and monthly performance indicators.
A technologically advanced mine makes it possible to achieve one of the most important things for any organisation — the removal of "gray area" obstacles. Reduce ambiguity and the amount of unforeseen events requiring "fire-extinguishing” procedures to almost zero.
With IoT hardware and high-speed networks in place, you’re always the first to know of any hazard or event. Implementing virtual geofences and equipping staff and machinery with sensors will guarantee safety and peace of mind throughout your entire organisation.
Our technology raises the standards of your mine on several levels, and so do the results, allowing investors to witness its value. By presenting your clean processes and your significant growth potential, both existing and future investors are given confidence.
If not — hurry, before it flies past you.
