Track idle time daily, benchmark performance monthly
- Automatically monitor second-by-second machine status (idle/active/loading) to understand true working time versus costly downtime
- Review daily utilization reports and visualizations to identify patterns and address excessive idle periods quickly, saving fuel
- Benchmark performance over weeks or months to set realistic team targets and track the impact of operational changes
- Run/idle time
- Daily surfaces
- Scheduled reports
- Cycle times
Analyze and optimize material loading
- Break down each haul cycle automatically into load, haul, dump, and return times to understand precisely where delays occur
- Use speed analysis overlays and detailed machine trails to pinpoint bottlenecks, consistently slow route sections, or inefficient routes that need attention
- Make data-driven decisions on haul road maintenance or designs aimed at shortening cycle times and increasing loads per shift
- Load/dump counter
- Smart cycles
- Speed analysis
Automate load and dump count reporting
- Eliminate unreliable manual clickers and operator estimates with automated load/dump counts
- Configure load count triggers based on proximity to designated loading machines (loaders/excavators) or within defined geofenced zones
- Use trustworthy, consistent load data for accurate daily production reporting, fair contractor validation, and precise material tracking
- Utilization chart
- Machine location and trails
- Load/dump count
- Scheduled reports
From gut feel to real-time visibility
Forget paper logs and guesswork. DirtMate streams live GNSS and telematics for any make or model, so you can see cycle times, idle time, and grade progress as they happen. Cut fuel waste, trim costs, and know whether your crew is hitting their daily production targets.
“We saw ROI on our productivity in less than a month. It was approximately four weeks on idle fuel savings alone.”
– Martin Dillon, Senior Business & Operations Manager at Lhoist
