Open-pit mining consumes massive amounts of fuel every single day. Yet even in operations with established controls, it’s common to see discrepancies of 3% to 6% of total fuel usage.
Without clear visibility, small differences in fueling, internal transfers, or equipment consumption can quietly turn into significant operational losses.
Find out how much fuel your mining operation could be losing.
Haul trucks, hydraulic shovels, drills, bulldozers, wheel loaders, motor graders, and generators all rely entirely on fuel to operate.
When precise control is missing, small discrepancies in:
Begin to accumulate over time.
Mining operations that implemented Control IMS detected average discrepancies of 5.51% within the first 30 days.
In a fuel-intensive mining operation, that percentage can represent hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars per year. If you don’t have full visibility into your fuel, you’re taking on unnecessary financial risk.
Fuel losses in mining are rarely obvious. They tend to disappear across 24/7 operations, multiple work zones, and manual fueling processes.
Critical points typically appear in:
Many mining operations believe they have control… until they start measuring it accurately.
Control IMS is an industrial automation platform designed for high-fuel-consumption operations, such as open-pit mining.
It centralizes and monitors the entire fuel lifecycle, from delivery at the mine site to final consumption by each piece of equipment.
This is not just monitoring. It’s operational and financial control applied to one of the most expensive resources in your mine.
With Control IMS you can:
When fuel becomes a reliable data point, it becomes a true operational advantage.
Operations that implemented Control IMS identified average discrepancies of 5.51% within the first month.
Documented cases show:
This isn’t theory. These are measurable results in real operations.
Many companies only discover the true impact of uncontrolled fuel usage when they analyze their operational data.
In less than one minute, you can estimate how much margin your operation may be losing
This solution becomes strategic if you:
If fuel is one of the largest operating costs in your mine, the level of control should match its importance.
Open-pit mining operations commonly experience fuel discrepancies between 3% and 6% when accurate monitoring and traceability systems are not implemented.
Fuel losses may occur during fuel reception, internal transfers, refueling operations, manual inventory processes, leaks, or unauthorized consumption.
Control IMS automates and monitors fuel inventory, dispatch, transfers, and equipment consumption in real time to detect anomalies and improve operational control
The solution can monitor haul trucks, drills, hydraulic shovels, bulldozers, wheel loaders, graders, generators, and other heavy-duty mining equipment.
Fuel automation improves traceability, reduces fuel losses, optimizes consumption, simplifies audits, and provides complete visibility across mining operations.
In a 30-minute session we will:
This isn’t a generic presentation. It’s a session focused on your real mining operation.
More importantly, every accumulated discrepancy impacts profitability. The risk isn’t high fuel consumption. The real risk is lacking full control over it.
