Wenco will install 23 units of their onboard Axon computer hardware and software for the entire truck, shovel, loader, drill and crusher equipment fleets, along with three Mobile Supervisor Terminals. The complete system selected by Gibraltar consists of Wenco’s FleetControl, Auto- Dispatch and Ore Quality Control as well as MineVision, a real-time monitoring and control system with summary statistics and real-time mining performance reports.

According to Wenco, its Auto-Dispatch and Ore Quality Control systems have the ability to automatically assign trucks, optimizing equipment to maintain quality targets at stockpiles, crushers, or blend points. MineVision dynamically displays current position and status of all equipment. Each component contains a complete list of properties available with the click of a mouse.

Wenco also is providing an onboard interface between Wenco’s Axon computer and Rimex’s TyreSense tire monitoring system. The TyreSense system monitors the actual temperature and pressure inside the tire chamber. The interface transmits TyreSense data through Wenco’s Motorola MESH Communications network to the TyreSense database.
