Load Volume Scanning in Mexico: Boost Mining Productivity and Optimise Truck Loading
Mining Productivity Drives Advanced Scanning Adoption
Mexico hosts over 250 private exploration companies, making mining productivity a top priority. Operations concentrate in Sonora, Zacatecas, and Chihuahua. As a result, many mines adopt load volume scanning Mexico to improve haulage efficiency, reduce carry-back, and boost profitability.
How Loadscan LVS Technology Works
The Load Volume Scanner (LVS) combines a high-precision laser scanner with proprietary software called Overview. Each system customises to a mine’s operation and can include optional features such as in-cab consoles and tailored mounting structures.
All LVS systems use RFID readers, so each truck carries a unique tag. As trucks pass under the scanner, the system automatically identifies them. Consequently, mining managers track every load accurately and make informed decisions about processing or waste disposal.
Real-Time Load Profiling and Operator Guidance
Carey West, Loadscan’s managing director, explains: “Scanning occurs on trucks’ normal haul routes. Each load is measured automatically, and drivers receive immediate guidance on whether to take ore to processing or waste.”
The LVS delivers 3D imaging and real-time load profiling. Operators can quickly detect sub-optimal loading. Additionally, loader operators receive actionable feedback, which ensures safe, maximised loads and reduces inefficiencies caused by underloading or overloading.
Reducing Carry-Back and Improving Shift Accuracy
Scanning trucks on return trips allows mines to monitor carry-back effectively. The LVS system also includes tray clean-out messaging and negative total adjustments. As a result, mines record accurate shift tallies and gain a clearer view of productivity, haulage efficiency, and material traceability.
Proven Success in Mexican Mining
Loadscan’s Mexican clients include Couer Mexico (Chihuahua), Penoles (Chihuahua), and Minera Roble (Durango). They reduce material loss, improve truck payload consistency, and strengthen overall mining productivity in Mexico.
Furthermore, Loadscan technology operates globally, including underground mines and remote solar-powered sites. This versatility drives strong international interest.
