Shirur Dolomite Mines (SDM), has been in the business of mining for over 16 years. Operating its own mechanised dolomite in Shirur village, the company has contributed immensely to two major industries of the country, steel and glass. Fulfilling the raw material needs required by the steel and glass industry through its expertise, SDM has time and again, excelled with its offerings and services across two major industries and in two states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Facing challenges
Being in a business where rock-solid challenges are part of the daily life, SDM, on an average day, unearths 700 tonnes per day. More so, the unearthing begins only after the rock is exploded using dynamite and then crushed into different sizes and shapes, making it easy for those around to begin the next process.

The Volvo CE connect
SDM uses the Volvo 210B Prime, which the company believes has been performing to the hilt for three-and-a-half years, the time since it was brought to the mine. Santosh S Melligere, Partner, SDM says, ?We are absolutely satisfied with Volvo CE?s performance and ability to deliver and are delighted with the machine?s fuel efficiency.?

On track with Caretrack
SDM credits its success to Volvo CE and Caretrack, the Telematics system offered by Volvo CE. A system that gives an extensive insight into the machine by monitoring information; which eventually saves time and money. And that?s the beginning as this systems also helps in reducing fuel costs, optimising machinery and operator performance and proactively manage service and maintenance. All of which result in efficiency and higher profits.

Caretrack works in such a way that you get utilisation reports, can refer to things in every 10-15 days, get regular service alarms from the machine and get warning signals of an impending problem which means you solve a problem even before it arises.

While Caretrack, in a nutshell, helps in equipment efficiency and better results, it also helps the business in some specific ways. It helps save money and time. It also offers infinite opportunities with its functionalities and the right features for your business. The system generates a wide range of reports via a web portal, as well as sending SMS/Email alerts. What?s more, you get tracking and status benefits, anti-theft advantage, communication systems and API, to name a few. Now, that?s what we call packing a punch.
