Rajant Kinetic Mesh deployment in an open-pit copper mine in Peru's southern Andes. 120 km² covered, 280 mobile assets connected, integrated Zetron dispatch, and 18% reduction in haul cycle times.
A major open-pit copper mine in Peru's southern Andes (production >100 kt Cu/year) operated 280 mobile assets with a 128-AP conventional Wi-Fi network. The expanding pit left 35% of the active area without reliable coverage, causing 12% FMS data loss per haul cycle and delays in truck reassignment.
12 BreadCrumb LX5 fixed nodes on pit crests + 9 mobile ME nodes on shovels + 271 PE nodes on trucks. Dual-band 900 MHz/5.8 GHz with InstaMesh <5ms route switching. Zetron ACOM 5000 dispatch console integrated directly with the FMS.
Coverage: 65% → 99.2%. FMS data loss: 12% → 0.4%. Truck reassignment time: 4.8 min → 1.1 min. Haul cycles per truck per shift: 8.2 → 9.7 (+18%). Speed violations detected: from 3/month to zero.
ROI reached in under 7 months from the additional 9,600 tonnes of mineral processed per month. New berma coverage extension: from 5-8 days (cabling) to 4 hours (single node installation).
