4 Maximize Production and Minimize Contention Time The DISPATCH NextGen mine management solution, available for surface mines, allows customers to implement specific production strategies using an extensive set of mining tools. Using state-of-the-art field hardware and communications software, the DISPATCH system delivers enhanced productivity and increased efficiency through proven fleet optimization. With 30 years of acceptance for its optimization algorithm, Modular has installed DISPATCH systems at nearly 200 mining operations worldwide, and is considered the industry standard for mine management software.

5 The DISPATCH Underground system is the only fully integrated mine management technology for underground operations. Managing the performance of key mine assets, the DISPATCH Underground application features rugged field computer components designed for harsh underground mining environments. The system supports all major underground mining methods and processes, providing tools for inventory and material movement, crew management, fleet monitoring, and location management. Integrating with existing underground communications networks and using new Store&Forward technology, the DISPATCH Underground system ensures reliable and successful data, monitoring, and communications transfers between equipment operators and central control.

Reduce Mobile Equipment Lifecycle Costs Since its first release in 2004, MineCare software has reduced fleet maintenance costs through real-time equipment health management.

6 Reduce Mobile Equipment Lifecycle Costs Since its first release in 2004, MineCare software has reduced fleet maintenance costs through real-time equipment health management. Remote condition monitoring, trending, maintenance histories, and operational data provide maintenance teams with information critical to optimizing fleet availability. Increased production and reduced cost-per-ton are directly attributable to maintenance savings generated by the MineCare system. Operator training opportunities are identified by correlating interface data to indicate signs of equipment abuse. Calculating downtime by component and evaluating common failures with root cause analysis tools, the MineCare maintenance management system truly delivers reliability-centered maintenance.

Data Information Knowledge Results Modular has cooperative relationships with all major OEM equipment manufacturers to provide unparalleled levels of asset health monitoring.

7 Data Information Knowledge Results Modular has cooperative relationships with all major OEM equipment manufacturers to provide unparalleled levels of asset health monitoring. The ModularReady label ensures a seamless interface between your 3rd-party system and IntelliMine products. Over 100 interfaces provide thousands of parameters to issue payload readings, automate haul cycle events, issue OEM and user-defined alarms, and analyze trends that indicate impending equipment failure. ModularReady interfaces provide the ability to aggregate min, max, and average parameter readings, streaming them to central applications such as MineCare for use in RCM analysis. No other mining applications offer the level of OEM data provided by IntelliMine products.
