Gilbarco Veeder-Root (GVR), a global leader in technology solutions, is dedicated to enhancing operational performance by offering comprehensive end-to-end solutions in wetstock management, industrial operations, mining, and inter-business trade, all designed to meet specific customer needs.

In order to encompass all aspects of mining operations, Westtar Kapito, GVR’s Middle East and Africa Commercial and Industrial Director, states that “the company is setting new benchmarks in energy efficiency, safety, and sustainability within the mining industry.”

As part of a holistic approach to mining excellence, Mr. Kapito explains that Gilbarco’s integrated technological solutions for fuel and fleet management are designed to address the multiple challenges of the mining industry. These include wetstock control, equipment maintenance and management, fleet automation and management, compliance monitoring, environmental sustainability, and innovation-driven productivity and profitability improvement.

Furthermore, the introduction of Gilbarco’s clean fuel solution demonstrates the company’s commitment to maintaining equipment integrity and performance. This technology monitors the real-time status of up to 16 key performance matrices of “clean fuels,” ensuring that dirty fuel is flagged and not transferred into mining equipment, which would affect engines and injectors and subsequently reduce productivity.

Gilbarco’s comprehensive site automation solutions enable mining companies to have essential analytical data, facilitating effective monitoring and management of fleets and fuel stocks. The central role is played by Gilbarco’s dataFLEX360 platform, which provides near real-time reporting and analysis for informed decision-making and operational agility.

dataFLEX360 is a web-based strategic operational information platform hosted in the cloud. The system ensures accurate, reliable, and relevant reports on all fuel, fleet, and asset transactions, and provides proactive corrective measures to reduce reporting complexity, giving a consolidated and comprehensive view of all sites and assets.

Focused on reconciliations, dataFLEX360 offers a precise solution for operational data. Compliance with global industry standards and environmental management, from leak detection to vapor recovery and clean fuel technologies, are integral to the company’s solutions. Gilbarco’s products are designed to ensure compliance and minimize the carbon footprint of mining operations.

Additionally, through its innovative telematics technology and generated data, the company can systematically and transparently generate fuel delivery reports that comply with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) standards for any selected fiscal period. GVR’s technology provides the complete audit trail required for SARS rebate eligibility, and its reporting platform streamlines the logbook and necessary data collection, enabling successful rebate requests and return on investment.
