The system will provide detailed material tracking, inventory, stockpiling, blending and grade control, and mine reconciliation.
It will also integrate seamlessly with existing systems such as Runge’s XPAC and the wash plant’s distributed control system for automated data synchronisation and extraction.
Qmastor managing director Trent Bagnall said the installation at Oaky Creek would strengthen the company’s dominant position in Australia’s coal mining industry for supply chain management information systems.
The world-class Oaky Creek project boasts two underground longwall operations and one opencut operation, all of which exclusively produce high quality coking coal.
The mining operations together have the capacity to produce in excess of 10 million tonnes of coking coal each year.
