MINIMISE PREVENTABLE TYRE DAMAGE
Tyre failure remains one of the most expensive and avoidable problems in mining.
Across most sites, haul-truck tyres fail at just 40–60% of their expected life, driving up maintenance costs and sending thousands of tonnes of rubber to landfill every year.
Rock cuts and impact damage don’t just shorten tyre life – they slow production, increase operating costs, and create safety risks. In fact, tyre maintenance tasks are 10× more likely to result in a workplace incident than any other form of truck maintenance.
RockAware™ helps lower these risks by detecting rock hazards in real time and enabling crews to act before damage occurs.
REAL-TIME HAZARD DETECTION. PROVEN TYRE-LIFE GAINS.
RockAware™ uses on-board LiDAR and camera technology to continuously scan haul roads, dump zones, and load areas for rocks and other debris that can damage tyres. Powered by Decoda technology, every hazard is geo-tagged, classified by severity, and sent instantly to the Decoda portal for action. Through direct integration with your Fleet Management System (FMS), hazards can trigger automated work orders – ensuring rapid, traceable action without manual intervention.
An in-cab LED stop line alerts operators to stop before reversing over potential hazards when approaching the dig bench and tip heads, maintaining safe stopping distances at all times. All detected events are automatically logged, mapped, and time-stamped to support proactive maintenance scheduling and continuous improvement.
Mine sites using RockAware™ report:
- 20% increase in tyre life
- 10× reduction in maintenance safety risk
- 40-60% tyre-life benchmark improved
- Fewer unplanned tyre changes
- Increased productivity across the fleet
