The Philippines’ mining industry faces significant challenges, including rising fuel costs, regulatory changes, and the need for increased efficiency. To remain competitive, mining operators must optimize resources while ensuring safety. Your fleet and equipment provide a prime opportunity for cost savings and operational improvements.
Geotab’s innovative open platform for fleet and asset management helps mining companies track equipment, improve uptime, and reduce operating costs. Here are four reasons why Geotab’s telematics technology can be a game-changer for mining operations in the Philippines.
AI-powered analytics provide visibility into driver risk for proactive safety measures
Safety is one of the top priorities for mining operations, where hazardous conditions and heavy equipment increase the risk of accidents. Geotab’s AI-powered Driver Risk Insights shifts safety monitoring from vehicle-based data to driver-specific analysis, allowing fleet managers to assess and predict collision risk at the individual driver level.
This cutting-edge technology leverages Geotab’s vast data insights to benchmark driver performance, detect risky behaviors, and enable proactive coaching through the Geotab Drive App. By identifying high-risk drivers and implementing targeted safety measures, mining fleets can prevent collisions, reduce insurance costs, and foster a culture of continuous safety improvement.
Track and locate equipment while ensuring maximum utilization
Effective cost control starts with full visibility over your equipment. Mining sites are complex environments, and tracking your assets ensures optimal use of every machine. Geotab’s technology connects directly to a vehicle’s onboard computer, collecting real-time data on fuel consumption, engine hours, and overall performance.
With our system, you can pinpoint the location of every piece of equipment, reducing the risk of unnecessary rentals due to misplaced machinery.
Reduce Fuel Costs and Optimize Usage with Smart Data
Fuel costs are one of the largest expenses for mining operations, particularly in a country where logistics and transportation costs continue to rise. Geotab’s telematics technology enables mining businesses to monitor fuel consumption, detect inefficiencies, and identify areas for savings.
Our system tracks fuel usage based on engine hours, not just distance traveled—essential for mining sites where vehicles often operate while stationary. By analyzing idle time and fuel economy, you can implement smarter fuel management strategies, reduce waste, and optimize costs across your fleet.
Access everything seamlessly on our single platform
Geotab provides maximum flexibility for mining projects of all sizes. Our device can be installed on any vehicle—regardless of manufacturer—and integrates all data onto a single platform. This allows you to track fuel efficiency, engine health, battery status, and other key performance indicators with ease.
Designed for the toughest conditions, our technology is ideal for heavy mining equipment, construction vehicles, utilities, powered assets, and trucks. With durable, impact-resistant, and weatherproof housing, they are built to withstand the demanding environments of mining operations in the Philippines.
Begin your journey with Geotab today and move into a future where every trip is safe, and every operation is optimized for success. With our help, you can leverage AI insights, track your valuable assets, increase equipment uptime and lower your operating costs.
