The Mongol-Russian joint venture connected more than 300 pieces of equipment to Avtotreker

The Russian Navigation Technologies (RNT) company announced end of the first stage of the large project on system implementation of a GLONASS/GPS of monitoring and control Avtotreker in the Mongolo-Rossiysky joint mining and processing venture "Erdenet". Now 150 heavy-load dump trucks "BelAZ" and "KAMAZ", two locomotives and more than 150 units of motor transport and special equipment are connected to the Avtotreker system. In the coming months about 700 more vehicles will become objects of monitoring, and distribution of a system on all transport Erdenet park numbering over 3 thousand units of machines and special equipment is planned further.

System implementation Avtotreker in JV Erdenet began in 2010. At the first stage the dispatching center was created, the aircraft equipment and software allowing to control location and motion speed of the CU, fuel consumption, the number of the flights performed for change and also to keep account of trips is installed. Thus, the possibility of an addition of runs and a run by drivers and masters was excluded at once and, therefore, fuel consumption was cut. Also, also fuel plunders became impossible, idle times and queues near loading excavators were significantly reduced. Besides, a system, provided convenient statistics on the performed flights, the number of the transported mountain weight, operating time and idle time, the movement with a load and empties. As a result, already at the first stage of the project significant savings for the enterprise in general were reached, the intensity increased and economic indicators of the extracting and production processes improved.

Let's note that the basis of a monitoring system of transport of JV Erdenet was formed by the specialized solution "AT-Karyer" for the mining and construction enterprises. In this development of RNT the specifics of management of work of transport in career where in transit loads dump trucks make regular flights along a certain route are completely considered and their movements are closely coordinated to operation of other equipment (excavators, loaders, refuelers, locomotives).

As reported, the solution "AT-Karyer" was repeatedly approved in real projects that allowed to isolate and implement an optimal set of the key measures and indicators which are comprehensively characterizing efficiency of use of transport and parameters of cargo flows in the system of reports. So, in software "AT-Karyer" the special services allowing to calculate and analyze dynamics of the different sequences of events, such as movement empties to the place of loading waiting, loading, transportation of a load, unloading, filling are implemented, etc. Pi it a system allows to keep track automatically of coordination of the interconnected events entering magazines of different objects of monitoring (for example, the dump truck, the loader, the excavator and the refueler). Besides, software AT-Karyer allows to analyze individually for each car, the driver or change such parameters as fuel consumption, a total run for the period, stops, parking, etc. On all processes and indicators a system creates specialized reports which design and the contents is flexibly configured under tasks and specifics of the enterprise.

Within this project specialists of RNT performed the tuning of the module "AT-Karyer" which allowed to consider completely specifics of work of JV Erdenet, feature of control of transport and requirements to the reliability of the equipment, character and a method of information representation collected and processed in a monitoring system.

"In our industry with its settled technologies of accomplishment of separate transactions optimum control of the course and interaction of different processes is an efficiency reserve. In work of transport it is shown extremely brightly. Therefore we also decided to implement a monitoring system, to transfer all management system for transport to objective data and accurate passionless control, – Delgerbat Lodoyn, the chief specialist of an ACS of "Erdenet" says. – Naturally, we aimed to select the best solution and to minimize the risks connected with bad understanding of the industry or failures of the technology under trying conditions of work in career. The Russian Navigation Technologies company and its Avtotreker system completely met our expectations. We received the reliable solution, accurate confirmation of correctness of the selected way, practical efficiency evaluations. All this allows to pass to scaling of the solution which will give us full control over all transport".

"In the mining industry where in huge pits hundreds and thousands of units of the expensive equipment constantly work, without objective data impracticablly to fight against abuses and against other reasons of decrease in efficiency of use of transport. At the same time, owing to the scale of activity of transport divisions of such enterprises monitoring implementation gives very notable effect at once, – Ivan Nechayev, the chief executive of Russian Navigation Technologies company says. – Application of the standard solution in the project allows to increase even more its efficiency for the customer, first of all, due to reduction of an implementation time, knowledge by the contractor of data domain and maturity of all subsystems that practically guarantees hit "in ten". At the same time, the firm position of the customer becomes the main condition of a project success, the termination of abuses always causes vigorous counteraction of those who lose an additional income or an opportunity to justify with "objective factors" the inability to work. In this project the management and the customer's specialists steadily showed such hardness. It is sure that the monitoring system will become profitable investment of Erdeneet company which will bring dividends not one year".
