Logistics use case
Queue Lengths at Excavators
Vision-based queue detection that tracks the line of trucks waiting at each excavator, with live waiting-time analytics.
The problem
What this use case is built to solve
Queues form silently at excavators and weighbridges. By the time a manager notices, an hour of fleet time is gone. Dispatcher has no early signal to rebalance.
How it works
The mechanism
A camera at each excavator detects the line of waiting tippers. MINEOPTIC Visual tracks queue length and per-truck waiting time live. Threshold alerts notify the dispatcher when a queue is forming.
Module: MINEOPTIC Visual (Lite)
What it captures
The data points
- Queue length per excavator (live)
- Per-truck waiting time
- Queue-time distribution per shift
- Threshold-based alerts
Outcomes
What changes for the operation
- Dispatchers rebalance before queues pile up
- Idle fleet hours drop measurably
- Cycle quality improves shift-over-shift
- Excavator starvation visible
