Applications
Cascadia Scientific offers a comprehensive solution for open pit mining operations by utilizing data to optimize equipment usage and maintenance, terrain management, and operator performance. Our platform enables mines to make data-driven decisions that impact the entire equipment life cycle, from maintenance scheduling to purchasing and overhaul. Our terrain management tools use high-accuracy fuel consumption data and measurements of road grade, vehicle speed, position, motion, and altitude to identify and correct hot spots and increase efficiency. Our operator performance management program uses custom sensors and machine learning to provide recommendations to improve productivity and efficiency, reducing variance in operator performance which can result in significant fuel cost savings. With this data, mines can achieve significant gains in productivity, efficiency, and availability, driving the success of mining operations.
