30.10.2020

Problem

The Wialon partner’s client specializes in the transportation of copper ore from Semyonovsky mine in Bashkiria. The company’s fleet consists of three Caterpillar 773E dump trucks and an excavator. One dump truck costs $744,000. The breakage of this machinery due to overload or long pauses in work often results in costly repairs.

The client contacted VESA SYSTEM, a service provider from Tatarstan, and asked to work out the solution that would allow tracking the dump truck load. The client planned to use this data for the optimization of the machinery load to prevent possible breakages and avoid repair costs in the future.

Solution

Upon the client’s request, the service provider offered a complex solution consisting of the following components: the VESA TRUCKLOAD onboard weighing system + GalileoSky Base block terminal + Wialon system.

In the Caterpillar 773E dump truck, the integrator installed the GalileoSky Base block tracker and its own development, the VESA TRUCKLOAD weighing system.
The satellite monitoring terminal was used to connect the system to Wialon.
