Course ID
037830
Course Description
This course is designed for frontline technical personnel (engineers), experienced graduate students, mid-level managers, and process improvement technologists who are currently engaged in the investment and utilization of modern information technology (IT) for mines such as Fleet Management systems (FMS). The course may be opened to senior-level undergraduates who meet the prerequisites to take masters-level courses and with permission from the instructor.
The course introduces students to the use, application and value of using FMS in mines. The hands-on system used is the Cat® MineStar(TM) Fleet system applied to surface mining operations. Students will participate during the lecture and in the computer lab by using Fleet client software to understand how an FMS system improves efficiency, provides safer mining environments, optimize production, minimize operational cost, provide KPI management, and monitor machine health.
