Trucks leave the mine with no live view of route, stoppages, or arrival.

Mining logistics automation, from pit to plant
Track every truck, weighment, and trip across your mine, stockyard, and customer sites, with one record that operations and finance can both trust.
Why mining logistics needs automation
Mines move large volumes of coal, iron ore, limestone, and other minerals through hired and owned fleets, often across long and remote routes. When trips are tracked on paper and weighments are entered by hand, it is hard to know where material is, whether every trip was completed, and whether the quantity billed matches the quantity delivered.
PortEight brings GPS fleet tracking, weighbridge automation, geofencing, and digital freight orders onto one platform, so every trip from the mine gate to the destination is recorded automatically and can be verified later.
Common challenges we solve
Manual weight entries and stale tare values lead to arguments over quantity.
Shortages between loading and unloading are hard to explain or recover.
Matching trips, weights, and freight bills takes days at month-end.
How PortEight works
- 01Dispatch
Create digital orders and assign vehicles before loading starts.
- 02Weigh and identify
RFID and number plate recognition identify each truck, and the weighbridge records tare and gross weight without manual entry.
- 03Track the trip
GPS and geofences record departure, route, stoppages, and arrival at the destination.
- 04Verify and settle
Loading and unloading weights are matched to the same trip, and freight is settled from verified data.
Have questions?We've got answers
It is the use of software and connected devices, such as GPS trackers, RFID readers, and automated weighbridges, to record and control how material moves from a mine to plants, stockyards, and customers, without relying on manual registers.
