Efficient haulage is the backbone of open pit mining. In this handbook we explain how dispatch operators can use modern Fleet Management Systems to improve truck shovel productivity, cut idle time, and control one of the biggest cost drivers in mining which is material movement.
GroundHog’s Dispatch Operators’ Handbook highlights the principles of truck assignment, balancing shovel utilization, and managing under trucked or over trucked scenarios. With real time fleet tracking, dynamic dispatch algorithms, and data driven performance metrics, dispatchers gain the tools to maximize tonnage while reducing bottlenecks and wasted fuel.
Inside, you will find:
• Core goals of dispatching and why it accounts for up to 50 percent of mine costs
• Traditional and multistage dispatching strategies
• Best practices for balancing shovel and truck idle time
• Key performance metrics every dispatcher should monitor
• How real time data and continuous improvement reshape decision making
Whether hauling ore to crushers or waste to dumps, this guide shows how dispatch operators can act as the nerve center of haulage by using data, technology, and strategy to keep material flowing and production targets on track.
