iVolve and Thiess Strengthen Strategic Partnership to Drive Operational Improvements at the Mount Pleasant Operation.
The iVolve & Thiess partnership started 15 years ago and has since expanded to rolling out the iVolve Fleet Management System on over 800 assets across more than 10 projects.
iVolve & Thiess are proud to share the success of the mining operations at the Mount Pleasant mining operation in the Hunter region in Australia. This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to driving customer success through cutting-edge technology, innovative solutions, and committed support.
“The fleet management system enables us to highlight inefficiencies in our systems and in our circuits. Minutes matter and likewise the seconds do as well. Having an excavator operator identifying payload on truck, live, gives them the ability to manage the bucket sequences and their payloads on board so that we don't have overloads and inefficiencies in our circuits” said Dan Hayes, Mining Manager at Thiess.

“Our longstanding partnership with Thiess has been built on trust, innovation, and a shared commitment to delivering operational excellence. The success we’ve achieved at Mount Pleasant is a testament to the power of collaboration and the impact that advanced technology can have on improving safety and efficiency. The rollout of our Fleet Management System across more than 800 assets demonstrates how data-driven insights can truly transform mining operations, and we’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the industry.”
The successful operation and implementation at Mt. Pleasant serve as a benchmark for future projects, reinforcing iVolve’s position as a leader in technological solutions for the mining and industrial sectors.
