Optimizing Mining Operations with Pitram and Loadscan Integration at CSA Cobar The MAC [...]
Start the Year with a Trucking Factor Increase

Kick off 2018 by targeting a trucking factor increase of 15%. By implementing Loadscan’s Load Volume Scanner (LVS) system, operations can improve efficiency and accuracy across every shift. This low-maintenance solution combines advanced measurement technology, reporting software, and remote control options for smarter load management.
Maximising the amount of material moved each shift is simple when trucks are loaded consistently to capacity. With the LVS, overloading and unsafe loads are avoided, while operators gain precise real-time feedback to improve performance.
Accurate Load-Out Measurement
The LVS measures outgoing loads of processed product faster and more accurately than traditional weighing methods. In addition, it helps loader operators improve skills, providing feedback that ensures every truck is loaded to the target volume. This directly contributes to a measurable trucking factor increase while boosting consistency across all machines and operators.
Inventory Monitoring and Load Data Entry
Incoming raw materials become more consistent when suppliers know deliveries are monitored at the point of unloading. Even if invoices are generated at the loading stage, improved tracking ensures load accuracy.
Furthermore, the LVS can capture additional details such as product type, customer, order number, and weight documentation, adding a layer of accountability and traceability.
Period Reporting and Operational Insights
Real-time and historical reporting allows supervisors to monitor productivity, generate invoices, analyse inventory, and calculate win rates. Reports can be exported to Microsoft® Excel, making data analysis simple and actionable.
By tracking every load, companies can identify trends, measure performance, and continually optimise operations—driving long-term trucking factor improvement.
Low-Maintenance, Cost-Effective Solution
The LVS’s non-contact measurement technology is low-maintenance and does not require regular calibration. In addition to accurate load measurement, the system can:
Determine product densities by combining volume and weight data
Record truck and load details for compliance with quarry or landfill regulations
Monitor clean fill for land rehabilitation projects
With these capabilities, the LVS is more than just a payload measurement system—it’s a tool to maximise efficiency, increase trucking factors, and ensure reliable, consistent material movement.
