Recent advancements in technology have allowed for very accurate measurements of payload, energy, and cycle time in large mining equipment. This has allowed for a new look into Digability with the benefits and limitations it offers mine sites. Expanding on the previous work covering Digability, this presentation will discuss how the new developments came about and highlight how a mine site can benefit by analyzing Digability for such areas as bucket/dipper performance, G.E.T. performance, and drill & blasting trends including some cost analysis estimates.
