the evolution of mining


Mining profitability is heavily dependent on carefully controlling capital and operating costs. Transportation often takes 3060% of the total, and rising fuel prices have put fuel consumption on everyones agenda. More of the same is not enough. Its time for smarter mining solutions.
Volatile mineral prices combined with the decrease in prime mineral bodies are making secondary deposits increasingly interesting to explore and exploit. These smaller mines and extensions from existing mines often lead to longer transport stretches from the mine to the processing plant. This throws an advantage to smaller, less expensive road trucks that use much less fuel. If youre talking 5060 liters/hour for a large machine, you can often plan on 2025 liters/hour for a Scania truck. Bigger isnt always better Scania trucks have some tangible benefits that affect costs and productivity. When hauling away from the pit, they dont require wide roads that are expensive to build and maintain. They can also be operated on public roads while meeting the highest highway safety requirements in the world. In many cases, customers are finding that the lower total operating costs of our robust trucks outweigh the benefits of conventional, over-dimensioned mine haulage equipment. Another bonus is shorter lead times for delivery. But that isnt all. The toughest operating conditions in the world, on remote sites, make it a challenge to keep an adequate stock of parts on-site to achieve optimum availability. Having more than 20 regional distribution depots and 1600 service points worldwide helps us provide outstanding parts availability and uptime. But there are other reasons behind our success. Built-in lean production
1939 Mid-1980s Early 1990s 2009 First engine produced according to the modular design system Cooperation with Toyota leads to the Scania Production System Lean manufacturing with the Scania Production System Field workshops with rapid-delivery modular containers

Modular design and lean production Since we build our vehicles according to a 70-year tradition of modular design, we use significantly fewer parts than the industry average. That alone can affect your maintenance time and costs, and equipment availability. We keep things simple. The same parts that go into our truck engines also go into our gensets and busses. The combustion unit is exactly the same, whether its an inline 5, an inline 6, or a V8 engine. This also eases the burden of recruiting and training mechanics and technicians. Our maintenance solutions are ready to back you up even in remote, sparsely inhabited locations. Our field workshops are based on a modular container system that can be put into operation a week or two after a concrete foundation has been laid. Weve already proven this in many countries worldwide. People are part of the system And while it may be hard to recruit and retain competent drivers and service personnel in remote areas, we have staffing and training programs to get you up to speed quickly. Our mobile field service managers can be brought in to supervise and train a local permanent maintenance team. Our driver training programs pay for themselves by increasing safety, reducing driver-related damage and cutting fuel consumption. In short, well do whatever we can to help you plan and execute better logistic solutions. Working smarter. Longer. And cleaner. Because we know you have to. Scania. The evolution of mining.

Cabs are impact-tested and crash-tested to meet Swedish and European safety standards, the toughest in the world. They can be fitted with ROPS/FOPS to meet global safety standards. Active safety Active safety is about making vehicle operation as secure as possible, by minimizing the risk of collisions and other incidents that could lead to damage or injury. Active safety is centered on giving the driver better feedback and control. We at Scania are constantly working to improve visibility, handling, primary and secondary braking and stability.

Passive safety Passive safety focuses on design aspects that minimize the consequences of a collision consequences that affect the driver and occupants of other vehicles. This includes structural integrity, instrument positioning and dispersion of impact forces. We decided very early on that for fire safety reasons, all Scania engines should have fuel and heat on separate sides of the engine. Therefore, we have one cool side with fuel and one hot side with exhaust gases. All sources of heat are kept isolated in a single area on one side, away from fuel sources. In addition, the vehicles can be equipped with fire suppression system.

Advisory services
Scania offers qualified consulting services to the mining industry in logistics, transportation planning and monitoring of ongoing operations. Our services are based on our own decadeslong experience with lean production and our ability to flexibly match vehicle configurations and working capacity to your specific operating requirements. Everything is geared towards optimizing your production flow and helping you implement lean concepts in logistics.
Before a mine is opened and production starts, we can advise on mine transport and logistics planning. Given production targets and presumed production flows per day, we can provide advice on: Infrastructure and road development Vehicle specifications that take into account in-pit, out-bound haulage and service vehicles Route planning for public and non-public roads Planning road maintenance Vehicle maintenance planning Transport staffing, recruiting and training Road economics in particular can be very important at the mine planning stage, and will contribute significantly to the total cost of operations. Using smaller and more versatile vehicles often means building less expensive roads. The roadbeds dont have to be as wide or as well supported to ensure high bearing capacity. Fleet flexibility is also determined by the choice of road design. Great cost savings can often be realized by reducing the overall transport system complexity, for example, by designing roads to use the same equipment for both ore and waste handling. The Scania modular design system is flexible, with component commonality resulting in a significantly lower number of parts. This converts to easier mechanic training and greater efficiency advantages in equipment servicing.

30

Focused improvement services For existing mines especially those that may be enlarging or ramping up operations we can help you improve production flows and productivity while reducing costs. We can teach mining operators to identify transport bottlenecks in the flow and suggest improvements that may depend on loading and payload characteristics, journey time, and refuelling needs. Using smaller trucks in some solutions may also lead to using routes that rely more on public roads and bridges, which could in turn lead to cycle time reductions and cost savings. Using our Scania Fleet management system, we can contribute to monitoring and reporting on loading, unloading, driver behavior, safety followup and route planning. Since Scania trucks, buses and engines can be used for so many tasks cutting down variability and needs for different parts maintenance can often be simplified. Exploration, service and dump trucks use almost the same components, so organizing service and parts is more efficient and can improve equipment availability. We can help you plan, organize and staff maintenance workshops in a new way.
