Industrial Mining Operation
Real-Time Visibility for a 200-Vehicle Mining Operation
Operating in remote terrain with limited network connectivity, this mining operation needed rugged, reliable fleet tracking that worked offline and synchronized when connectivity resumed. Open VTS provided the resilience and data sovereignty they required.
Key Results
The Challenge
The mining operation ran 200 vehicles across three open-pit sites with intermittent satellite connectivity. Previous cloud-based tracking solutions suffered frequent data gaps. Regulatory requirements mandated that fleet telemetry data remain within the company's on-premise infrastructure. Driver safety in hazardous zones required geofenced boundary enforcement.
Implementation
Open VTS was installed on hardened on-premise servers at the mine operations center. GPS devices with offline buffering capability were deployed across all vehicles. Geofences were configured around blast zones, restricted areas, and active haul routes. Data synchronized automatically when vehicles entered connectivity zones. Integration with the mine's existing safety management system was completed via webhook alerting.
Outcomes
Unplanned vehicle downtime decreased by 27% through proactive maintenance scheduling enabled by usage analytics. Zero safety zone breaches occurred in the first six months after geofence enforcement. Data sovereignty requirements were fully met with on-premise hosting. The operations center achieved complete fleet visibility despite connectivity limitations.
“In mining, you can't afford data gaps or cloud dependency. Open VTS runs on our servers, works offline, and gives us the visibility we need in the most demanding conditions.”
