How Mining & Quarrying Is Impacted
Mining and quarrying rely on haul trucks, loaders, and support vehicles in remote or harsh sites. Asset location, utilization, and maintenance are critical; fuel theft and unauthorized use are common risks.
Fleet and equipment telematics provide location and engine data so operators can see where every unit is and how it is used. Fuel monitoring and geofencing reduce theft and improve accountability; maintenance alerts help avoid costly downtime. Better visibility supports safety, productivity, and cost control across sites.
Operational
Insights
TrackAlways helps mining operators deploy mining equipment tracking in Kenya and across East Africa with clear operating procedures. Our rollout model combines hardware setup, geofence design, fuel monitoring thresholds, and supervisor dashboards to reduce fuel losses and improve shift accountability.
For teams evaluating fleet telematics for mining, we recommend starting with 3 KPIs: unauthorized movement events, fuel variance by unit, and downtime hours per machine. Weekly exception reviews then help dispatch teams improve utilization and reduce avoidable stoppages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can TrackAlways track haul trucks at remote East African mines?
Yes. GPS plus optional Iridium satellite terminals cover pits and haul roads where cellular is weak, with geofences on dump zones and workshops.
Which three KPIs should a quarry start with?
Unauthorised movement events, fuel variance by unit, and downtime hours per machine. Weekly exception reviews on those three usually pay for the sensors.
How is fuel theft detected on generators and haul trucks?
Tank sensors (often SP BLE 4 in harsh yards) alert on sudden drops; Venus ties the event to GPS so security can see whether the unit was in the pit, the workshop, or off-site.
