Hours per year wasted

Time saving

Mines often spend 3-4 hours per week manually compiling downtime data from CMMS systems. 



That’s 150-200 hours per year wasted — the equivalent of 4-5 weeks of lost productivity that could be put towards improving processes and reducing downtime.

Per hour

Cost of Downtime

As shown in the calculation below, a 40-ton haul truck with a 40-minute cycle time can cost $25,440 per hour in lost revenue during unplanned downtime. 



That’s just one unit — across your fleet, these losses add up fast.

Every hour spent tracking downtime with inefficient tools represents lost revenue and missed improvement opportunities.
