SMARTCARE FOR MINING

WITH THE MINING INDUSTRY LOOKING TO DO MORE WITH LESS, KOMATSU IS HELPING OPERATORS WORK SMARTER, SAFER AND CLEANER.

- 

Across Australian mine sites, the push to lift productivity while improving safety and cutting emissions is increasing by the day. Komatsu's SmartCare program meets this challenge head-on, combining remote technology, predictive analytics and on-the-ground expertise to help mines from the Pilbara to the Bowen Basin work safer, smarter and more sustainably.

Turning data into action

Komatsu Australia executive general manager for mining Leo Kaloglou told Australian Mining that SmartCare stands out for its focus on turning data into actionable insights, backed by a dedicated team of product managers.

“These experienced experts work in the platform day in and day out, interpreting data outputs – from predictive diagnostics to anomaly detection and machine-learning insights – and turn them into clear, actionable steps that improve site performance and reliability,” Kaloglou said.

“Some of the things we can detect and notify customers about include emerging engine issues before alarms are raised, operator misuse, underperforming hydraulic pumps, or grease systems not working optimally.

“By working closely with our customers on site, we’ve seen real gains in fleet performance, including savings of up to 1000 operating hours in a year on frontline loading units.”
