The Issues Needed to be Addressed:

• Controlling fuel cost through efficient operation.
• Equipment had to be refuelled too often.
• Spending unnecessary hours fuelling equipment, when it is not required.
• Refuelling equipment without knowing the current fuel levels.

Steps Taken for Controlling and Preventing Fuel Loss:

Wenco-VTPL provides Fuel Dispatching Modules with sensors which automatically checks fuel hours and matches the Hauling Units with fuel location, so that the equipment can be fuelled at the earliest. This reduces interruption of operations and reduces wait time at fuel locations.

• Up to 99.2% accurate fuel tank sensors, for accurate fuel level readings.
• Fuelling displays for fuel bays and fuel trucks, to enter the product volumes delivered.
• Measurements logged and used in the Wenco system.
• Dynamic fuel dispatch for automated refuelling assignments.
• Pre-empt queues for trucks entering critical fuel levels.

The Stupendous Outcome Achieved:

• 58 working hours saved, which is equivalent to 2.5 days of extra production per Cat truck per year.
• 1164 working hours increased per year, which is equivalent to 7 days of extra production per Komatsu truck per year.
• Visibility and reconciliations.
