groundHog Features
Smart Dispatch
The software allows dispatchers to optimize haul truck allocation using AI-driven insights. Operators receive automatic route notifications, while real-time adjustments reduce idle time, improve productivity, and provide GPS playback for route, speed, and distance analysis, boosting overall equipment efficiency.
Digital Production Tracking
Users can monitor mining operations digitally using tablets, replacing paper-based data collection. Real-time tracking captures payload, cycle time, drilled holes, travel, and machine states, enabling accurate operational reporting, minimizing errors, and improving decision-making for haulage, drilling, and material movement.
Telemetry Integration
This feature allows users to automatically capture machine and payload data through integrated telemetry, fuel monitoring, and payload systems. It tracks engine hours, fuel levels, and tonnage while suggesting optimal refueling and break times to reduce downtime and maintain production efficiency.
Material Tracking
The software provides precise material movement visibility from dig sites to stockpiles and crushers. Users can monitor grades, update geology calls, detect mis-hauls, and track inventory in real-time, reducing re-handling, improving grade control, and ensuring alignment with mill blend plans.
Equipment Monitoring
groundHog provides detailed equipment monitoring through telemetry and dashboards. Teams can track downtime, maintenance needs, MTTR, MTBF, and availability, generate work orders, and respond promptly to issues, supporting condition-based maintenance, maximizing uptime, and optimizing asset performance across operations.
