Load & Haul Intelligence Built for Smarter Mining
Detect oversize, monitor shocks, assess roads, and improve truck cycles - all in one platform.
Minimise downtime by detecting oversized rocks
Oversized rocks can cause blockages in the primary crusher.
LoadWise detects oversize rocks during loading and reduces unplanned stoppages.


Maximise equipment life by detecting wear-causing shock & vibration
Excessive exposure to shock events can exacerbate equipment break-down and cause injury to truck operators.
LoadWise provides insight into operational conditions that lead to equipment wear and helps extend asset life.
Boost productivity and streamline maintenance by monitoring road conditions
Poor road conditions lead to excess wear and tear of mobile plant and sub-optimal cycle times.
LoadWise identifies deteriorating road conditions to improve cycle times, reduce tire wear, and streamline road maintenance.


Improve scheduling by monitoring truck cycles
Failure to address poor truck cycle-times in a timely manner leads to missed production targets
LoadWise tracks truck movements to optimise cycle times, reduce fuel use and improve scheduling.

Case Studies
Context
Haulage operations are complex and often riddled with hidden inefficiencies that impact productivity and cost.
Problem
In a typical 10-hour shift, trucks spend a significant portion of their cycle time waiting—especially queueing before loading. This idle time is rarely visible but has a real impact.
LoadWise Implementation
Using LoadWise, an instrumented truck was monitored over 29 cycles, revealing a median cycle time of 1211 seconds. It was found that approximately 5% of each cycle was spent queueing before loading.
Benefit
By identifying and quantifying queueing delays, LoadWise allows planning and dispatch teams to streamline operations, reduce idle time, and boost overall haulage efficiency.
Context
Excavator performance is a key driver of loading efficiency and overall site productivity.
Problem
Loading operations underperform due to inconsistent excavator cycle times and operator variability. This gap between actual and potential throughput limits site productivity.
LoadWise Implementation
Excavator cycle data captured by LoadWise revealed cycle times ranging from 15.8 to 59.7 seconds, indicating a theoretical maximum throughput of 4,921.5 tonnes/hour. However, the observed median performance was only 2,484.3 tonnes/hour. Further analysis showed that operator performance significantly influenced outcomes, with some cycles underperforming the median by up to 35.6%.
Benefit
These insights highlight clear opportunities for targeted operator training and performance optimisation, helping unlock higher productivity and more consistent loading efficiency.
Context
Poor haul road conditions can reduce productivity by slowing trucks and increasing wear and tear.
Problem
Degraded road segments cause slower truck speeds and more frequent shock events, leading to longer cycle times and reduced throughput.
LoadWise Implementation
LoadWise analysed vibration data from haul trucks to pinpoint segments with severe jarring and potholes, directly linked to high-impact shock events and speed reductions. A 7.8% drop in road condition led to an 8.3% decrease in unladen truck speed, increasing cycle times and lowering overall productivity.
Benefit
These insights enable targeted road maintenance, transforming upkeep into a data-driven process that boosts efficiency, reduces delays, and supports smoother operations.
Context
Oversized material causes major downtime and production loss in large-scale mining.
Problem
Oversize events disrupt crusher operations, reducing throughput and revenue.
LoadWise Implementation
At a 50 Mtpa iron ore mine in Western Australia, oversize rock blockages contributed to 370+ hours of downtime and ~2 Mtpa lost output, worth up to USD $200 million annually. LoadWise detected oversize with 70–90% accuracy, validated by camera footage.
Benefits
These insights enable proactive oversize management, with the potential to recover between USD $140 million and $180 million annually for the site.
