Dragline Monitoring and Navigation - Thunderbird Mining Systems and DEI Thunderbird Mining Systems - Information Management
Fleet Management Systems



Fleet Management System - Click Here for a larger viewFMS is a real time fleet production monitoring and information system. It has been designed for those mines that require accurate production statistics and information on their fleet-trucks, loading equipment, and all auxiliary equipment. The system also incorporates vital signs monitoring and operator fault reporting. The system uses Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) for truck identification and relative loader position, as well tracking the location of the equipment throughout the mine.

Vital operational information is provided to both the truck and loader operators in real time. Information such as "how many tons have been loaded?" and "what is required to correctly load the truck?" is provided to the loader operator during the loading cycle.

A full suite of Windows based reporting and analysis software is provided as part of the system. This software is easy and intuitive to use. Anyone familiar with Microsoft Windows can use the FMS application software with a few hours of on-site training and no specialized courses.
