CASE STUDY 1 - TMS MES IN SAND AND GRAVEL PIT

It is an example of everyday use of OEE, KPI and “Day View” reports by gravel mine manager and mine foremen.

Reports match the needs of the gravel mine workers and they are distributed by e-mails. Based on that workers can:

• control the capacity of the technological chain,
• evaluate the reasons of possible production disturbances,
• control Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – without analyzing them manually.

CASE STUDY 2 - TMS MES IN QUARRY

It is an example of everyday use of production and transportation reports and a “Day View” report.

Reports match the needs of quarry workers and they are distributed by e-mails. Based on that workers can:

• control the capacity of the technological chain,
• evaluate the reasons of possible production disturbances,
• control Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – without analyzing them manually,
• evaluate the volume and efficiency of drives performed by the site dumpers.

CASE STUDY 3 - TMS MES IN A QUARRY OF A CEMENT PLANT

It is an example of everyday use of TMS MES to automatize the production control based on corporate standards.

Reports help to evaluate:

• technological cycles of site dumpers,
• production goals,
• work times of certain tasks,
• tonnage of drives and production.

TMS MES is also used to verify:

• load of site dumpers,
• frequency of technological cycles,
• condition of site dumpers.

CASE STUDY 4 - TMS MES IN CONTROLLING THE EARTHWORKS PROGRESS

It is an example of use the TMS MES in controlling the ground works progress on a large construction site.

Main Contractor uses TMS MES to:

• compare ground works plan with the performance – on-line control,
• archive data useful for possible claims,
• control subcontractors,
• identify reasons of possible delays in construction performance.

Subcontractor uses TMS MES to control:

• output capacity of excavators and site dumpers,
• fuel consumption,
• operators work time.

CASE STUDY 5 - TMS MES IN CONTROLLING ASPHALT WORKS

It is an example of use TMS MES in controlling key parameters of asphalt works performed on road construction site by asphalt spreaders and compactors.

Main goals are:

• reduction of claims,
• archiving data useful for possible claims,
• control of asphalt work efficiency.
