More Information
Summary:An open-pit mining system, method of forecasting weather and a computer program product therefor. A dispatching system models local pit conditions and generates a dispatching plan for mining equipment for each mining shift. A forecasting system generates local forecasts. Individual pieces of mining equipment include wiper frequency sensors sensing wiper use whenever equipment wipers are engaged. The wiper frequency sensors forward wiper use data to the forecasting system, which determines pit rainfall from collected sensed wiper frequency. The dispatching system adjusts the dispatching plan to compensate for rainfall effects.
