Technology to Transform

Your Mine Site


Since 1979, Modular Mining Systems, Inc. has
provided mining customers around with world with
powerful innovative software to enhance productivity,
improve efficiency, and augment safety. The IntelliMine
suite is an integration of several purpose-built products that
address aspects of mine safety, monitoring, optimization,
analysis, and asset health. As the industry leader,
Modular provides the most comprehensive mine
management available today.

The Evolution of
Mine Management
The IntelliMine NextGen vision focuses on value
creation and business improvement while utilizing
industry standard enterprise technologies and software
platforms. Built upon a common data engine,
IntelliMine NextGen applications are designed
to work together from the ground up.

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.

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. 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. 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.

Improve Productivity with


High-Precision GPS Technology
The GPS technology in the ProVision family powers
revolutionary applications for machine guidanceoffering
enhanced safety, innovative reporting and immediate
operator feedback, while highlighting opportunities
for improvement initiatives and reducing operating costs.
Realize immediate benefits through
controlled bench grades and reduced
rehandle. Improved blast-hole planning
and visibility of current ore boundaries
eliminate the need for manual survey activities.
ProVision technology is available for excavators,
loaders, backhoes, drills, and dozers.

Accurate Production Tracking


at an Affordable Price
Leveraging low-precision GPS receivers and
reading payload data from ModularReady interfaces,
the ShiftBoss application delivers a completely
automated experience for equipment operators
and requires no one in the control room.
Powerful reporting capabilities on industry
standard platforms provide a paperless
solution to manual production tracking.
The ShiftBoss production tracking
system includes a central application,
rugged field hardware, and is compatible
with standard 802.11 networks.

Improve Awareness Beyond


Production Equipment
From identifying incorrect behavior to locating resources
during emergencies, the RoadMap system addresses key
safety concerns surrounding light vehicles. The RoadMap
position and safety tracking system monitors light vehicles
on site, providing real-time awareness of changing
mine site conditions.
Visitors and contractors are issued handheld
PDAs that provide up-to-the-minute information
about hazards, speed limits, restricted areas,
road network changes, and much more.
The entire system is centrally managed,
and uses industry standard hardware
and software platforms to augment
safety through improved awareness.

Turbocharge your
Communications Network

Optimizing System
Reporting

The MasterLink network delivers high bandwidth data rates on


rugged mobile hardware designed specifically for open-pit mining.
Intensive graphics and video, real-time asset health data,
equipment location monitoring, and machine guidance
applications are all enabled through the MasterLink network.
As access points are added or relocated,
automatic reconfiguration ensures that
communication and coverage are not interrupted.
All MasterLink systems utilize industry standard
802.11 technology and offer system diagnostic and
interfacing capabilities, secure data transfer,
and rugged solar-powered trailers
with cold weather ratings.

Unparalleled Hardware
Durability
For over 30 years, Modular has led the mining industry
in developing purpose-built computer hardware that
provides operators direct access to IntelliMine
central applications. In this time we have incorporated
technology advancements from GPS positioning to
LCD touch screens and on-board camera integration.
Our mobile platforms are designed for and tested
in the harshest conditions, ensuring reliability,
durability, and productivity.
Intense graphics and video, real-time asset health data,
asset tracking, and machine guidance applications are all
enabled through high-speed wireless networks such
as MasterLink. IntelliMine systems also support
various third party networks via an available Ethernet port.
