MUNICH, April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today the Trimble®
LOADRITE® H2250 Haul Truck Monitor for rigid body haul
trucks used in the aggregates extraction and process industry. The
H2250 is an in-cab display and sensor system that is used in
combination with InsightHQ™ cloud reporting and data analysis.
InsightHQ is a Web-based management portal accessible via any
browser, including mobile devices. It consolidates live,
operational information from Trimble LOADRITE devices across the
site, to provide near real-time productivity and performance
reports for extraction, processing and load-out operations in
quarries.
The announcement was made at bauma 2016, the world's leading
trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines,
mining machines, construction vehicles and construction
equipment.
The H2250 provides a near real-time reporting of haul truck
production and process monitoring, driving increased production and
limiting costs. The system enables quarry managers, supervisors and
operators by presenting information to monitor and improve the
processes and handling of the quarry haul fleet.
The H2250 provides automatic haul truck load counting and
payload measurement typically within +/- 3 percent accuracy. It
also features near real-time production reporting, truck-speed
monitoring, cycle-time analysis and location-based material
tracking.
Using data from the H2250, fleet managers can empower operators
to make informed decisions for haul truck process improvements.
Benefits include lowering transport costs by optimizing payload,
reducing cycle times and supporting safe operation of haul
trucks.
"Trimble's haul truck monitoring system is unique to the
industry," said Johan Smet, general
manager of Trimble Loadrite. "The system calculates payload data
with innovative weighing algorithms that provide greater accuracy
than traditional truck scales used for quarries and small mining
operations. Secondly, it fits seamlessly into Trimble's Connected
Quarry system, providing site managers near real-time visibility
across their entire operations, allowing them to see how their
decisions affect operations as a whole, rather than just a single
step in the process. The haul truck monitoring system underscores
Trimble's holistic approach to operations management. It also
demonstrates our commitment to developing tools that can transform
the way the aggregates industry works."
H2250 productivity reports show accurate production figures
removing the need for tally sheets and production estimates. The
reports highlight material movement issues, e. g. poor haul road
construction and inefficient product movements. Cycle time reports
include graphical reports of haul truck activity, loading time,
haul time and queuing time that show machinery availability and
allow fleet managers to make improvements that affect production
during the shift. Speeding reports overlay speeding events over
quarry maps to identify operator skill gaps or haul road design
issues to improve machine operation, fuel consumption and reduce
machine wear. For a quick understanding of haul fleet productivity,
the dashboard shows each truck's cycle count and daily tonnage to
enable managers to check their haul fleet is meeting plant demand,
adjusting to changes in cycle time, product ratios etc. On screen
alerts provide speeding, rollover, tray-up and overloading
alerts.
