BenchManager

Our BenchManager machine guidance system gives you centimetre-level accuracy for all your drilling, digging, and dozing.

BenchManager uses high-precision satellite navigation to keep your equipment on target. Units with BenchManager see their location in real time with top-down, profile, or cross-section views of the mine site. Onboard screens show vital work details that operators use to do their jobs better — dig block coordinates, cut/fill requirements, elevation markers, and other indicators. These guidance features maintain accuracy within centimetres of actual surfaces, ensuring that any work happens as close to plans as possible. BenchManager also syncs with office applications and the Wencomine fleet management system to track changes to the mine as they occur.

High-precision guidance lets you use your mining equipment to its fullest. It lets shovels place their buckets in precise locations to deliver the right material blends. It lets drills pinpoint their depth and position to strip any guesswork out of blasting. It lets dozers follow every detail of their cut/fill requirements so benches and stockpiles meet specifications. It lets all operators avoid hazardous areas and continue their activities with care, even in poor lighting and weather conditions.

With greater machine accuracy, mine operations can develop according to plan — productive, efficient, and safe.

DrillBenchManager for Drill keeps your drilling and

blasting in line with mine plans. Onboard MDT screens show drilling as it happens, updating the operator

on current depth, target depth, mast angle, rate of penetration, and other essential data. Machines receive drill patterns directly from office software,

easing reliance on time-consuming surveys and drill marking. Increased precision ensures that holes meet exact specifications so that your blast results have the

proper fragmentation and diggability.

ScrapeScrapers use BenchManager to gather high-precision data through their loading and hauling cycles. While units are loading, our system shows their cut/fill requirements to let operators extract the correct amount of surface material. When the blade is disengaged, BenchManager collects units’ geodata as they run through the haul cycle. These data update the Wenco fleet management system on units’ status and carry distances to highlight areas of improvement at the mine site.

DozeHigh-precision elevation control is a hallmark of

BenchManager. Our system uses GNSS to detect your equipment’s elevation within centimetres of actual altitude. Onboard screens display this information

over cut/fill designs to guide operators as they reshape benches, roads, and other mine features. These guides keep dozers and graders on target, ensuring smooth,

even surfaces that reduce wear and tear on all equipment.

DigOur system gives loading units a real-time view of dig blocks, ore boundaries, toe and crest zones, and mined-out areas throughout site. With this information, operators can focus on productive areas and avoid waste material as needed. Shovels gain even more accuracy with the add-on Arm Geometry System. The AGS uses position sensors placed on the cab, boom, and stick to measure buckets with centimetre-level accuracy. It allows shovels to target small dig blocks and work in the delicate manner required at certain mine sites.
