Dispatch Optimization

Streamline dispatch operations & processes by fully leveraging data for decision making

Home » Value Chain » Load & Haul » Dispatch Optimization

Overview

Dispatch systems, when properly installed and leveraged, can provide a bird’s eye view of your mining process in real time. However, that ‘eye in the sky’ can sometimes be limited for several reasons.

One possible issue is that your mining lease or footprint may have expanded beyond what was anticipated at the time the system was installed. Another concern may be that most mining operations are in remote locations around the world, where access to the internet is unreliable, data is lagging, or where extreme weather can interfere with transmissions.

These conditions are frustrating, and many sites question if the information and effort is worth the return on these systems. The answer is a resounding “yes”, and most mining leaders would agree. However, operations and workflows need to first be optimized to fully leverage the data captured by these systems.

How YCP Unison Can Help

Instead of reaping the desired ROI for the dispatch system, lacking the necessary processes and tools to drive the technology could instead be costing your company. At this point, you may even be questioning the effectiveness of the dispatch system and whether it is truly worth the investment.

YCP Unison has developed the first real-time methodology for dispatch operations in the industry. We use a proprietary methodology that delivers real-time information customized for various organizational levels (Supervisor, Superintendent, Captain, Area Manager, or General Manager).

It all happens within an app that works on any iOS or Android smart device. Our dashboards deliver information in real time, easily accessed on site. The dashboard summarizes performance by shift, day, week, or month and contrasts performance by area, by shift, or by equipment number, analyzing mine plan adherence for any interval of time on-site.
