Excessive Labour Costs in Rail Loading
Definition
Systems highlight need for labour-intensive attended loading at 2,000-12,000 TPH rates, driving high minimal labour costs in Australian coal operations.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 40-80 hours/shift per operator at AUD 50/hour (2-4 operators/train), equating to AUD 5,000-10,000 per loadout
- Frequency: Daily/weekly train loadouts
- Root Cause: Manual handling and idle time during weighing/positioning
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Coal miners in Australia 🇦🇺 waste AUD 100,000+ annually per site on manual loading labour. Automation reduces to minimal operator needs.
