Mining Fleet Management Solution for Safer, Smarter, and More Efficient Operations
Experion built an IoT-based fleet management software solution for a global automobile and truck manufacturer supplying fleets to mining operations. Designed for low-connectivity mining environments, the GPS-independent fleet tracking system improved fleet turnaround time by 18%, increased utilization by 23%, and reduced truck idle time by 17%. The solution helped cut fuel inefficiencies, reduce early warranty claims, and gave the client’s mining fleets a stronger market differentiator.
A global automobile and truck manufacturing leader with over 75 years of industry expertise, 2,000+ dealers and customer service points, assembly factories across 10+ countries, and presence in 100+ markets. They supply fleets and mining equipment to government and privately owned mines. In one APAC mining operation, the client needed a smarter way to protect fleet health, improve operational visibility, and help mine operators reduce inefficiencies in an environment where traditional GPS tracking could not perform reliably.
Overcoming Challenges with Intelligent Solutions

Solutions
Experion designed a mining fleet management solution that helped monitor fleet movement, usage, and operating patterns, giving the client and mine operators better visibility into how vehicles were being used on site.
We built a LoRa WAN-based tracking approach with customized geolocation logic, enabling real-time vehicle visibility without depending on GPS. This made the solution practical for harsh, low-connectivity mining environments.
Experion enabled automated queue management and active truck assignment based on real-time site conditions. This helped reduce idle time, improve turnaround, and keep fleet movement more efficient.
We developed a web-based control room application that displayed live truck locations, supported real-time telematics, enabled automatic truck assignment to loading sites, and generated management and operational reports.
Experion built and deployed bespoke IoT hardware components for trucks and excavators, supported by LoRa-based end nodes and transceivers across the mining site. The system enabled communication between vehicles and the control hub, including instant messaging for truck drivers.
Outcomes
The fleet management software helped the client turn a difficult mining environment into a more visible, controlled, and efficient operation.
- Fleet turnaround time improved by 18%
- Fleet utilization became 23% more efficient
- Truck idle time reduced by 17%
- Warranty claims reduced in frequency and early occurrence
- Fuel efficiency improved across mining fleet operations
- Maintenance costs were lowered through better fleet usage visibility
- Real-time truck and excavator tracking enabled without GPS dependency
