Did you know that for each additional hour a primary excavator is under your care, the opportunity cost alone can be considerably more than $50,000 USD¹?

Yes, and we'd like to avoid that scenario

Yes but that's always going to be the case if one of the PEs is down

No, that's insane, are you sure you've calculated that correctly?

Do you currently experience inter-department communication bottlenecks in your mine e.g. between HME and Mining?

No, never

Occasionally but it's never a problem

Frequently

All of the time

Would you like see all of your data in one, easy to access, shared resource (newly down vehicles, whose working on a vehicle, faults, work undertaken, who marked a vehicle as "ready", who has been notified, how long down, availability, utilization, target comparisons²)?

Yes

Maybe

Have you ever gone to work in the morning and seen a vehicle still parked up outside the workshop that you thought was back in the field?

No, never

Once or twice

Frequently

On a scale of 1 to 10, how useful would it be to have instant reporting on your department's performance and how well you're doing compared to targets?

110

Please let us know how to contact you. (We won't use this for any other reason, alternatively you can call us on +44 1424 442400)

Footnotes:

Based on the opportunity cost of 125 tonnes/hr of primary excavator ore @ 1% gold $45/usd per gram = 125000 * 0.01 * $45 = $56,250/hr
Availability, utilization and target comparisons will need to tie into other Eclipse Miningware products or your existing production tracking system

We were originally approached by the owner of a pie shop in Brighton, East Sussex to build a database for one of the World's largest gold producers in Ghana, West Africa. After our initial sceptisism it turned out to be true and one of our crew went on-site for a month whilst one of the World's largest surface mines was being prepared for production.
