LOAD WEIGHING SYSTEMS

The Loadrite 360 comprises a wheel loader onboard scale, an automated communications connection and a performance reporting tool.

Transforming loadout processes

To help local mines and quarries improve the efficiency, accuracy and speed of their loadout processes, Loadtech is introducing the Loadrite 360, a digital job order system that provides a 360-degree view of loadout operations between the onboard loader scale, the weighbridge and the quarry manager.

A s part of the industry’s response to the innovation imperative, mines and quarries are turning to digital systems to optimise every part of their operations. To get the best out of their loadout processes, mining and quarry ing companies are increasingly seeing value in payload management systems. In a world where data has become the ‘new currency’, says Loadtech sales director Glen Webster, payload management technology is a must-have on site. The systems help operators accurately and effectively load haul trucks to capacity, within production, path to zero harm and

loading unit parameters. To meet the growing appetite for payload management technology, Loadtech, the authorised Loadrite distributor in sub-Saharan Africa, is introducing Loadrite 360 – a loadout automation and reporting system for mine and quarry loadout activities. The technology comprises a wheel loader onboard scale, an automated communications connection and a performance reporting tool. Jobs are entered in the office and selected in the loader, reducing data entry, eliminating mistakes and improving customer satisfaction. The technology, explains Sören Schramm – channel

development manager EMEA at Loadrite, is designed to transform the way in which mines and quarries have always conducted their loadout processes. Traditionally, operations have relied on weighbridges alone. These are known to be prone to product errors and weight challenges.

“The Loadrite 360 can holistically improve loadout operation through performance metric tracking, job data automation and real-time 360° job visibility. It connects the loader and the weighbridge to provide data sharing of loadout jobs, resulting in greater efficiency, improved visibility and higher product sales.”
