The Sibanye-Stillwater team needed to improve their locomotive operations. Data was being logged on the locomotive hub underground making data accessibility difficult.

Personnel were required to visit the locomotive with a laptop to download data. It was labour-intensive and inefficient. Their existing system also provided for zero operator tracking or handset controllers.

We provided the team with locomotive handsets and integrated them into our mine management system. Handsets are now issued to locomotive operators via the lamprooms – providing full control over equipment and traceability of operators.

The handsets serve as carriers of data providing management with information on utilization, production output and any infringements.
