T4U Case Study - Jindal Africa

CASE STUDYT4Us Mining Solutions for Jindal Africa [JSPL, Chirodzi Coal Mines, Africa]

T4U primarily studied the complete mining operations and its business process flow, key

operational challenges being faced by the Jindal Africa, Mozambique team which e�ects the

operating e�ciency and margin. T4U proposed cost-e�ective and suitable IT solution to

address the existing operational challenges and help them to save cost for the company with

improved operating e�ciency. Telematics4u then introduced a product roadmap to address

the operating challenges of mining industry as a whole.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

CHALLENGES

Jindal Africa faced a lot of challenges in their day to day operations. After a detailed study of the system & workflow, following were the challenges identified:

Heavy revenue loss due todiesel theft.

No automated way to find out the exact location of vehicle and the vehicle status such as the route deviation from the defined maps.

Finding number of trips completed by each vehicle per day / per month/ for a particular duration, trip distance is a cumbersome as all the data needs to be recorded manually.

Overburden management is completely done by manual using excel only.

Identification of key resources is a problem in the workshop.

Requisition Slip creation for inventory is done manually and there is no alerting system in place if the inventory goes below a certain level.

Lack of Historical Data for the mining equipment maintenance. Critical spare parts availability in-time is also a problem in the workshop.

No automated way to find out the vehicle allotment as per the

need of the mine. Hence, vehicles remain unutilized.

No control on the process like if the vehicle has stopped for a long time or idle due to any reason or driver

taking un-authorized route.

Excel-based inventory management for spare parts, manual job card

creation for maintenance jobs and challenges in planning and executing scheduled maintenance. Vehicle wise exact expenses can’t be identified as

everything is billed against plant.

Keeping track of slow moving spare is a problem in the workshop.

There is no tyre management system available as there are many vehicles

and di�cult to plan and manage the tyre inventory including tyre type.
