Modular Mining
Pioneer of computerized mine dispatch and the industry's most widely deployed fleet management ecosystem.
About Modular Mining
Founded in 1979, Modular Mining Systems invented computerized fleet management for open-pit mining. Its flagship DISPATCH system — developed in the early 1980s — is deployed at over 250 active mine sites across eight languages, including nine of the world's ten highest-producing surface mines. The company operates globally with subsidiaries in Australia, Chile, Indonesia, China, South Africa, Brazil, and Canada.
Now fully integrated into Komatsu's Mining Technology Solutions division, Modular unveiled a major platform refresh at MINExpo 2024: the "Modular ecosystem," an open-architecture framework that adds four new DISPATCH companion apps and enables third-party integration. The legacy IntelliMine suite branding is transitioning to this new ecosystem identity, though individual product names (DISPATCH, ProVision, MineCare) remain in use. DISPATCH also serves as the supervisory optimization engine for Komatsu's FrontRunner Autonomous Haulage System.

Sorted alphabeticallyDISPATCH Fleet Management System
by Modular Mining
DISPATCH uses linear programming, best-path, and dynamic programming algorithms to automatically assign haul trucks to loading and dumping points, minimizing queue times and maximizing production. It provides centralized management of all mine operations — equipment allocation, shift changes, refueling, and downtime events — via real-time mine graphics and in-cab operator guidance. The system supports all major truck and equipment brands with over 175 OEM interfaces.
ProVision Machine Guidance
by Modular Mining
ProVision provides centimetre-level GNSS positioning to guide drill rigs, dozers, excavators, and loaders to design surfaces and patterns. It reduces rework and improves material recovery by ensuring operators execute mine designs accurately. By comparing real-time machine position against the mine design, ProVision eliminates over-excavation and re-handling costs while improving bench quality.
