Mining & Metallurgy • MN-08
Digital Driver Advisor
Coach the operator in the cab, in the moment.
Scope
What the engagement covers.
Operator technique drives a large share of fuel, tyre and cycle time variance. In-cab advisory gives immediate, specific feedback rather than a monthly report nobody reads.
Included capabilities
- Real-time in-cab guidance on speed, gear, braking and load handling
- Operator scoring normalized for route, load and equipment type
- Shift-end summary and personalized coaching recommendations
- Supervisor dashboard with crew comparison and coaching tracking
- Recognition and incentive scheme support
Outputs and deliverables
- In-cab advisory configuration
- Operator scoring model and normalization rules
- Coaching workflow and supervisor dashboard
- Fuel and cycle improvement tracking
Workflow
How it is delivered, step by step.
Each step has an owner, an entry condition and an artefact that has to exist before the next step begins.
01BaselineOperator technique variance and its cost effect per unit.
02ConfigureAdvisory rules and scoring normalized for real conditions.
03IntroduceOperator briefing, transparency on scoring and appeal path.
04CoachSupervisor routine with tracked conversations and outcomes.
05SustainThreshold tuning and periodic recalibration of the scoring model.
Use cases
Where this is typically applied.
Sites with high operator turnover and inconsistent technique
Operations introducing performance-based incentives
Delivery model
The operating pattern for Mining & Metallurgy.
The same delivery discipline applies across every capability in this line, so combined engagements stay coherent.
Survey
Fleet, fuel flow, network coverage, loss points and current dispatch practice.
Instrument
On-board units, sensors, tags, LiDAR and camera installation.
Calibrate
Baseline consumption, cycle times, volumes and alert thresholds.
Operate
Dispatch centre, driver feedback loops, investigation and reporting routines.
Optimize
Continuous tuning against production, cost and safety targets.
Integration
- Fleet management, weighbridge and laboratory systems for reconciliation.
- ERP and fuel procurement for cost and inventory alignment.
- Mine planning and survey data for haul route and grade context.
- Access control and HR systems for shift, competency and permit checks.
Engagement approach
Fuel, cycle time and safety losses are quantified before deployment, and the same measures are the acceptance criteria after go-live, so value is settled on evidence rather than opinion.
