THE PROBLEM

Common maintenance challenges in Mining

In a mine, equipment availability sets the output, and the distance to the workshop or the supplier is long.

A heavy fleet with high hourly cost

Dumpers, shovels and dozers earn money only while running, and an hour of downtime is expensive.

Tyres are a major cost

Large tyres cost a great deal, and wear depends on haul roads, load and pressure, which are tracked poorly.

Remote sites, poor signal

Workshops and pits are far from the office, and a cloud-only tool does not work there.

Statutory inspections

Mines have inspections and certifications for machinery, winders, ropes and ventilation, with records kept.

Spares far from the supplier

A missing part can mean days of downtime, so planning the stock matters.

Crushers and conveyors

Fixed plant needs the same disciplined PMs as a factory, in dust and vibration.

DAY-TO-DAY

What changes in your mine

Four everyday situations at a mine, before and after PlantOps360.

Fleet services follow engine hours

Before

Services are tracked on boards or spreadsheets by hours, and some machines run past due.

With PlantOps360

Services are triggered by engine hours or calendar interval, with the checklist and parts attached.

Preventive maintenance →

Tyre cost is tracked per tyre

Before

Tyre fitment, pressure checks and removals are recorded inconsistently, and nobody knows the cost per hour.

With PlantOps360

Tyres are tracked as assets with fitment, hours and removal reason, so cost per hour is visible by position and type.

Asset management →

Field work does not depend on signal

Before

Inspections are done on paper at the pit, then typed into a system later.

With PlantOps360

The mobile app works offline. Pre-shift inspections and jobs are recorded in the field and sync when the device is back in range.

Mobile app →

Statutory inspections are scheduled and filed

Before

Inspection dates for machinery, ropes and fans are kept in registers, and some are missed.

With PlantOps360

Each is a recurring task with the result and certificate attached to the equipment.

Key workflows in a mine

Three real situations, step by step, and where each step happens in PlantOps360.

Haul truck pre-shift inspection

A short check that prevents a long stop.

  1. The operator receives the inspection checklist on a phone at the start of the shift. Mobile app
  2. A defect is recorded with a photo, and a work order is raised. Work orders
  3. The truck is withheld from service if the defect is safety-critical. Preventive maintenance
  4. The repair is recorded and the truck released. Work orders
Defects are caught and recorded before the shift starts.

Tyre removal and fitment

The biggest consumable cost.

  1. The tyre is recorded as removed with hours and reason. Asset management
  2. A replacement is issued from stock and fitted. Spare parts
  3. The new tyre is set up with position, hours and pressure checks. Preventive maintenance
  4. Cost per hour is available by tyre and position. Asset management
Tyre decisions are made on data.

Crusher liners reach their wear limit

Fixed plant with a planned stop.

  1. Weekly liner measurements are recorded. Mobile app
  2. The trend shows when the liners reach their limit. Predictive maintenance
  3. A work order is planned with the liners reserved. Spare parts
  4. The change is recorded and the wear curve is updated. Asset management
Liner change is planned from the trend.

Mining maintenance software: questions

Yes. Meter-based schedules can trigger services by hours as well as by calendar interval.
Yes. Tyres can be tracked as assets with position, hours and removal reasons, so cost per hour is visible.
Yes. Inspection dates are recurring tasks with the result and certificates attached to the equipment. The requirements themselves come from your mine's regulations.
Yes. Contractors can be given jobs and record their time and findings, so their work is part of the asset history.
Yes. The offline-first mobile app lets technicians create and close work orders, run inspections and open documents with no connection. Everything syncs when the device is back online.
PlantOps360 offers integration with SAP, Oracle and other ERPs, and REST APIs to sync assets, materials and financials. The scope of an integration is agreed during the demo and planning.
