“By unifying data across all mobile assets and providing real-time, decision-grade insights, Powerfleet empowers mining operations to enhance safety, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.”
Mining operations must manage high-value assets efficiently and safely to remain competitive and compliant. From material-handling equipment in facilities to vehicle fleets navigating the site terrain, these companies need comprehensive visibility and control to optimise operations and uphold strict safety standards.
Transforming mining operations with unified intelligence
Powerfleet’s Unity is a SaaS-based, hardware-agnostic AIoT platform that delivers complete operational visibility for mining operations. This innovative ecosystem ingests data from virtually any IoT device, OEM system, or external data source, applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to harmonise and simplify diverse datasets. By transforming fragmented operations into a unified system, Unity provides a single pane of glass for real-time intelligence and smarter decision-making.
Powerfleet stands apart as the only provider delivering a truly end-to-end AIoT ecosystem, integrating fleet, in-facility operations, and AI-driven safety solutions into a single integrated environment. Mining companies can manage everything from fleet vehicles to material-handling equipment through one unified platform, eliminating operational blind spots while ensuring businesses stay compliant, sustainable, and competitive. Unity connects all critical assets, people, and processes across the entire supply chain, spanning facilities, logistics hubs, and vehicle fleets.
Advanced forklift safety solutions for mining environments
Within mining facilities, forklift operations present significant safety considerations. Powerfleet’s comprehensive in-facility solutions address these challenges head-on:
- Pedestrian Proximity Detection: AI-powered vision systems proactively prevent accidents by identifying people and industrial vehicles, alerting operators to potential hazards before incidents occur.
- Forklift Gateway: This central hub provides wireless, automated tracking and management of powered industrial vehicles. It controls access based on driver credentials and enforces safety protocols, such as mandatory pre-use inspections.
- Digital Video Recorder: This system continuously records during vehicle operation and automatically saves video clips capturing events like impacts. It provides comprehensive records for incident analysis and driver coaching.
- Speed Manager: Automatically reduces vehicle speed in response to qualifying events, preventing potential collisions before they occur.
Enhancing on-road fleet performance
Beyond in-facility operations, Powerfleet’s solutions extend to vehicle fleets travelling between sites:
- Real-Time Monitoring: Track vehicle location, status, and performance metrics to optimise routing and respond quickly to changing conditions.
- Driver Behaviour Analysis: Vision AI monitors driver fatigue and distraction, providing immediate alerts to prevent accidents before they happen.
- Maintenance Optimisation: Predictive analytics identify potential issues before breakdowns occur, reducing costly downtime and extending asset lifespans.
Driving operational excellence
Mining companies implementing comprehensive asset management solutions experience significant operational improvements across multiple business areas. Operations see reduced safety incidents through improved visibility, decreased fuel costs through optimised operations, and lower maintenance expenses through predictive analytics. For example, one construction equipment customer reported a 33% decrease in vehicle-related damage costs after implementing Powerfleet’s comprehensive safety solutions.
Powerfleet’s solutions are purpose-built for the mining industry’s specific requirements, with modular components that can be selected based on operational needs and scaled as operations grow.
