The Foundation Model

Every Signal. One Model.

FleetTwin ingests the full sensor and operational picture of your fleet — not just isolated alarms — training a shared representation that understands failure modes across makes, models and site conditions.

Decision Engine

What FleetTwin Delivers

Four AI-driven outputs that turn raw sensor data into actionable maintenance intelligence.

Failure Prediction

Probabilistic fault forecasting up to 72 hours ahead. The model issues a confidence-weighted alert for each subsystem — powertrain, hydraulics, drivetrain, emissions — so maintenance teams can act before the truck parks itself.

  • Multi-class fault taxonomy (200+ failure modes)
  • Probability score + uncertainty bounds
  • Alert triage: P1 critical / P2 watch / P3 monitor
  • Cross-asset anomaly correlation

Remaining Useful Life

Component-level RUL estimates with confidence intervals — not just binary alerts. Know when your engine, transmission, hydraulic pump or brake assembly will require attention, expressed in hours, cycles and calendar days.

  • Per-component degradation curves
  • Bayesian uncertainty quantification
  • Condition-adjusted life extension recommendations
  • Fleet-wide component lifecycle dashboard
🔍

Root-Cause Explanation

SHAP-based feature attribution plus LLM-generated technician summaries. The model explains why it raised an alert — which sensors, which patterns, which historical events contributed — in plain language your workshop team can act on.

  • SHAP feature importance per alert
  • Natural-language diagnostic summary
  • Historical similar-fault case retrieval
  • Parts & labour recommendation
📅

Maintenance Window Optimisation

Risk-weighted scheduling that accounts for fleet availability, shift patterns, production targets and parts lead times. Cluster concurrent jobs across vehicles to minimise total downtime impact on the mining schedule.

  • Production-aware scheduling optimiser
  • Parts inventory integration
  • Shift & crew constraint modelling
  • Blast/haul cycle impact scoring

Under the Hood

Built for the Complexity
of Real Mining Operations

Foundation Model

Transformer-based Multimodal Encoder

A time-series transformer processes CAN/ECM streams at up to 10 Hz alongside lower-frequency signals (oil analysis, vibration spectra). Cross-modal attention layers learn which sensor combinations are predictive for each fault class. The model is pre-trained contrastively on data from 40,000+ machine-years across 12 OEM platforms before site-specific fine-tuning.

NLP Pipeline

Technician Notes as a First-Class Signal

Free-text maintenance notes, fault descriptions and inspection comments are encoded by a domain-adapted language model trained on mining maintenance corpora. These embeddings are fused at the same layer as sensor data, allowing the model to learn from the tacit knowledge that never appears in telemetry.

DPF / SCR Intelligence

Emissions-System Degradation Modelling

Diesel Particulate Filter loading curves and Selective Catalytic Reduction efficiency trends are modelled jointly with duty-cycle and ambient temperature. The model detects abnormal regeneration patterns, DEF quality degradation and SCR catalyst aging — avoiding the Tier IV downtime that catches most sites by surprise.

Ambient Fusion

Site & Environmental Context

Altitude, ambient temperature, dust exposure index, road gradient and haul-road surface condition are incorporated as context tokens. Models trained at sea-level copper mines automatically adapt to high-altitude Andean sites without retraining from scratch, using learned environmental embeddings.

Deployment

Cloud, Edge & Air-gapped Options

The inference engine runs as a containerised service on AWS/Azure or on-premises. An optimised edge variant (ONNX, INT8 quantised) runs on Nvidia Jetson or industrial PCs at the pit rim for sites with limited connectivity. All variants share the same model weights; inference results sync when connectivity is restored.

Fleet Coverage

Use Cases

How Mining Teams Use FleetTwin

🔧
Maintenance

Condition-Based Maintenance Conversion

Replace fixed-interval PM schedules with condition-triggered work orders. Extend component life by 15–30% while reducing unnecessary teardowns and inspection labour.

📡
Operations

Night-Shift Autonomous Monitoring

FleetTwin monitors the entire fleet in real time — alerting the on-call supervisor only when a high-confidence, time-critical event is detected. Reduce night-shift call-outs by 60%.

📦
Supply Chain

Parts Demand Forecasting

RUL estimates feed directly into parts ordering logic. Reduce emergency freight costs by pre-positioning components weeks before the predicted replacement date.

🏔
Mine Planning

Availability-Aware Production Planning

Feed predicted fleet availability into the short-term mine plan. Scheduler knows 48 hours in advance which trucks will be offline and adjusts haulage routes and dig-targets accordingly.

🛡
Safety

Brake & Steering Failure Prevention

Identify hydraulic brake fade and steering-system drift patterns before they reach critical levels — protecting operators on high-grade haul roads from catastrophic mechanical failure.

📊
Reporting

Fleet Health Executive Dashboards

Auto-generated weekly PDF and live dashboards for GMs and maintenance managers. MTBF trends, cost-per-tonne analysis, and fleet-wide reliability benchmarking across sites.
