Lhoist boosted operational efficiency by 22% with DirtMate
Martin Dillon, P.E., Lhoist’s Senior Business and Operations Manager, was tasked with finding a way to track progress, reduce idle time, and increase efficiency. That’s when he found DirtMate.
“Before DirtMate, we had a basic spreadsheet where we took load counts and assumed a fixed volume. We could never get these values to reconcile and didn’t have our true cost structure as developed as we do for other areas of our operation. In retrospect, it was a very haphazard way to run the mine compared to how we operate today.”
– Martin Dillon, Senior Business & Operations Manager at Lhoist
