Modular Mining Increases Night Shift Production at Bear Run Mine

Fleet management systems (FMSs) are deployed at the majority of open-pit mines, where the systems provide numerous operational efficiencies and productivity gains. However, not all mines utilize the technology to its full potential, thus leaving value, behind. This was the case for the night-shift operations at Peabody Energy’s Bear Run open-pit coal mine in Sullivan County, Indiana, USA.
