Product Tracking Overview

Bulk Product Tracking is a complete package designed to statistically calculate and monitor the quality of shipped ore product. The system allows input of quality values for samples and ties the samples to vehicles that carry the product. Once this step is complete, the system statistically tracks the quality of product which is shipped to customers. This quality is maintained through transfer of product from one set of vehicles to another or to stockpiles. The system’s main function is to track the quality of the product being produced at the supplier’s locations and the quality of the product being shipped to customers.

This module is fully integrated with the Sales and Distribution system and with the rest of the OCS applications suite including tools for maintenance, materials, business, personnel, and financial control.

Comprehensive Product Tracking

Complete product quantity and quality tracking supplier to customer. Ensure contracts can be met in both terms of quantity and quality.

• Quality Tracking. Track the quality of product through both stock piles and vehicles. Product may be blended and new quality can be modelled. Samples may be taken to update quality of stockpiles. Ensure the quality required to fulfill customer needs can be met. Hand off quality reports to the customer.
• Stockpile Management. Stockpile management is vital to ensure that contract can be met. Know both the quality and quantity of stockpiles.
• Vehicle Tracking. Track the location of vehicles at all time including the quality and quantity of product held by the vehicle.
