Logic Systems services the coal and mineral
mining and preparation industry using both
attended and unattended operations.
Customized solutions based on ScaleQ
Exclusive are available with specialized
databases, labeling and business rules
including pricing and tracking.
At Peabody Coal, ILS was the first in the
industry to monitor trucks using RFID tags.
This unattended weighing increased
throughput, especially at coal wash
facilities. It also allowed early and late
loading so extra runs could be made.
Unattended weighing allows verification of
pay for drivers and haulers, depending on
whether they are paid by the hour or by the
load. An added benefit is that drivers can
stay in their vehicles, promoting safety and
lessening liability.
A special area of ILS expertise is
unattended weigh-ins at power plants
receiving coal directly from mines. ILS has
tools to monitor contract fulfillment, quota
management, and truck sampling for quality
based on percentage or other qualification.
The use of unattended weighing and RFID
means that a truck’s only stop in the yard
is on the scale, with data collection
performed automatically. Customers have
found this has doubled and even quadrupled
efficiency.
