Mining operations software · From 15 trucks to 500

Mining operations software for the whole mine, pit to plant.

Minocular is mining operations software for open-pit and underground mines. It connects haul trucks, shovels, fuel bowsers, drones and cameras to one platform, and brings in drone survey data, GIS layers and existing OT and legacy systems, so dispatch, fuel, survey, safety and compliance data share one equipment list and one shift calendar. It fits any make of machine and keeps working where there is no mobile network.

The challenge

Your mine already records the data. It sits in seven different places.

Dispatch logs trips, the weighbridge logs tonnes, the bowser logs litres and the workshop logs hours. Each team brings its own number to the morning meeting. Minocular matches them to the same machine and the same shift, so a delay shows up with its cost while the shift can still fix it.

The Platform

One platform. One mine. One dashboard.

Fourteen capabilities cover the mining cycle from survey and planning through drilling and blasting, dispatch, fuel, maintenance, safety and compliance. Every capability shares one equipment master, one shift calendar and one reporting layer.

Statutory returns
DGMS returns are generated from operational data.
AI on the Haul Cycle

Every second of the haul cycle, watched by AI.

Minocular's AI models run on live GPS and payload telemetry from every dumper. They pick up losses a dispatcher can't see from the control room, such as slow road segments, long queues at the shovel, under-loaded trips and high fuel burn on bad stretches. See the animated Haul Road AI infographic → Ask your mine data in plain words →

Queue & idle detection
Flags dumpers bunching at a shovel and re-routes the next assignments before diesel burns in the queue.
Cycle-time anomaly alerts
Learns the normal load–haul–dump–return time per route and alerts when a segment slows down.
Payload optimization
Tracks under-loaded trips per operator and shovel, recovering lost tonnes on every cycle.
Haul road health signals
Repeated slow-downs and fuel spikes on a road stretch flag grading and maintenance needs early.
Cycle time components
WHAT IS CYCLE TIME? GLOSSARY →
Haul truck loading under a shovel
01 Loading
Spot time at the shovel, payload per pass, bucket count.
Loaded haul truck travelling
02 Hauling
Loaded travel speed by segment, fuel burn, road stretch.
Haul truck dumping its load
03 Dumping
Queue at the tip, tip time, dumps per shift.
Empty haul truck returning
04 Return
Empty run time, route taken, return speed.
Haul truck stopped and idle
05 Delay time
Idling, breakdowns, shift change and unexplained stops.

OITDS · Operator Independent Truck Dispatch System

Dispatch every dumper to the right shovel automatically.

The dispatch engine matches each dumper to a shovel in real time using live positions and queue lengths. The operator gets the assignment on the in-cab terminal, and shift reports follow DGMS formats.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is mining operations software?

Mining operations software records what every machine in a mine is doing and turns it into dispatch decisions, shift reports and cost figures. Minocular covers dispatch, fleet tracking, fuel, drone survey, maintenance, safety and compliance on one platform.

What is an Operator Independent Truck Dispatch System (OITDS)?

OITDS is a fleet dispatch system for open-cast mines that assigns dumpers to shovels automatically using live positions and queue lengths. At Indian cement and steel mines, Minocular's OITDS raised fleet efficiency by 8–17% and cut operating costs by 2.5–9%.

What does the Minocular platform cover?

The platform covers the full mining cycle: drone survey, fleet dispatch, fuel monitoring, AI safety surveillance, drill and blast analytics, predictive maintenance, contractor management, statutory compliance and an operations dashboard. Every capability shares one equipment master and one reporting layer.

Does Minocular work with our existing machines and CCTV?

Yes. Minocular is fitted to your existing HEMM fleet using rugged in-cab data terminals, and its AI video analytics run on your existing CCTV cameras. No machine needs to be replaced.

Is drone survey with Minocular compliant with MCDR 2017?

Yes. Minocular produces orthomosaic maps, DTMs and volumetric reports that follow the Mineral Conservation and Development Rules (MCDR) 2017 drone survey requirements for Indian mining leases.

Who uses Minocular?

Minocular runs at mines operated by large cement and steel producers, including Nuvoco Vistas, Dalmia Cement, SAIL and UltraTech Cement.
