Efficiency use case
Buckets Count per Truck Load
Computer vision that measures excavator bucket loads per truck in real time, exposing true payload and cycle efficiency.
The problem
What this use case is built to solve
Excavator productivity is judged on trip counts and average cycle time — numbers that hide the truth. Nobody hand-counts buckets, so the planner cannot size the tipper fleet per excavator.
How it works
The mechanism
A camera at each excavator watches its swing-and-dump motion. A model trained on bucket cycles counts every drop into a tipper, measures time per bucket and total load time per truck, and ties each event back to the specific excavator and operator.
Module: Mineoptic Visual (Lite)
What it captures
The data points
- Buckets per truck (count)
- Load time per bucket (seconds)
- Total load time per truck
- Reconciled tonnes vs weighbridge
Outcomes
What changes for the operation
- Tipper fleet sizing finally calculable per excavator
- True payload quality per crew
- Bucket-level operator performance
- Hands-off — no operator effort
