The winning app, HaulSmart, was invented in-house by Appscore, to provide effective and efficient tracking for mining trucks.

Co-founder and managing director, Alex Louey, said, “The innovation of Haul Smart lies in its ability to provide the same fleet management tracking and performance data seen in market for a fraction of the cost. Users are able to have the flexibility of capturing data for any size of haulage required ranging from a singular truck to an entire fleet.

By utilising the inbuilt iPhone sensors to capture a mining truck’s activity cycle (queuing, spotting, loading, hauling, dumping and returning), this app is able to record all the elements that help with developing a company’s process for improving company practice. With the data capture of time spent, duration, distance, position, as well as payload data (material, loading machine, location, destination and haul profile) there are endless uses for the mass accumulation of data.

More than 600 nominations from organizations across the Asia-Pacific region were received with the winners to be celebrated at a Gala Banquet on 27 May in Sydney, Australia.
