Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group has partnered with Australian firm Decoda to launch KalPRO HaulSight, a real-time, autonomous hazard detection system for mines. This new technology aims to enhance truck productivity, tire longevity, and fuel efficiency by alerting fleet teams to hazards such as spillage and road undulations, significantly reducing tire damage.
HaulSight utilizes Decoda’s LiDAR and camera sensors mounted on haul trucks, processing live data to provide instant alerts. The system integrates with Kal Tire’s Tire & Operations Managing System (TOMS) for effective monitoring and issue assessment. Testing began 18 months ago in Canadian mines, showing promising results for optimal road conditions and long-term cost evaluations related to tire life and productivity.
