Part 1: 22 March - Manufacturing the Future
Fleet
Part 2: 19 April - The Advanced Fleet
Part 3: 17 May - Optimising Maintenance
Measures
Part 4: 21 June - Fuel Management and
Alternate Energy
Part 5: 19 July - The Optimised Fleet in
Action
Part 4 Summary: Fuel Management and Alternate Energy
• Continued research has uncovered the health issues associated with emissions from diesel engines such as DPM and Nox. Leading to authorities to seek input into new standards and legislation.
• Innovation is impacting the typically slow-to-adopt diesel space to drive performance and improve environmental outcomes
• Mining companies must have fuel management systems in place to measure and control hydrocarbons, which are generally the second largest expense on a mine site
• Alternate fleet energies that are being explored include electricity and high density compressed natural gas

Fuel Management and Alternative Energy
July
Kobus Potgieter
Stephen Williams
Looking at the optimized fleet management system and how it fits in to the overall mining operation
The Optimised Fleet in Action
Equipment do more, carry more, be more effective
Improved machine health from better Condition Monitoring and understanding of risk based outcomes
Equipment run more efficient, cheaper
We are collecting more data from mining fleets today than ever before
All equipment to perform at it’s best
In the future…
Data the foundation of maturity
… hidden but unmissable
But what does good look like?
Respect your data, then Crunch It!
Various data sources
are available
But are they…
• Complete?
• Accurate?
• Disparate?
• Discrete?
• Exclusive &
Exhaustive?
• Analytical tools are
freely available
• Human capability to
comprehend
analytical results
improving
• Faster insight, faster
action
• With increasing data
availability, human
capability decline
The future fleet management with increased digitization will aim to deliver better results limiting human intervention, made possible with robotics, integration, automation, machine learning and IOT.

A wrap-up of the fleet series and summation of the key learnings
throughout the five webinars
Key considerations:• The cost of mining comprise
more than half of a open mine’s cost.
• Most of this cost is a factor of equipment condition and performance.

• Equipment capability develop at a fast pace, followed by sensing and detecting technology
• Legislation and physical constraints
hamper development in fuel industry, although a step change is viable here.
• Data is generated at a astronomical pace, analysis and advisory capability is adequate to optimise fleets today.

Panel Discussion
1. When considering current fleet management
strategies and procedures, what continuous
improvements can be explored to drive results
now?
2. What innovations do you believe will lead to the next great step changes in fleet productivity?
Panel Discussion
3. Data remains a major consideration for mining companies in fleet management strategies, with significant amounts of information being generated in this space. How can miners derive greater value from their fleet data and what are the first steps to take on this journey?
Panel Discussion
4. The mining industry is often considered risk averse when it comes to innovation, possibly delaying deployment of new fleet technologies. What role does organisational culture play in changing this paradigm?In your experience, is it best to be a fast adopter or slow follower?
Panel Discussion
5. Looking at a decade from now and beyond, what does the mining fleet look like to you?
