Abstract

The Robofuel innovation from Scott Technology Limited revolutionizes the process of refueling, with game changing operational and productivity benefits. Safety risks to drivers and other personnel are eliminated, and truck fleets can be operated with significant productivity gains, yielding both capital and operational expenditure efficiencies. Robofuel solutions can be retrofitted to an existing fuel farm, or placed “on the circuit” or even “in-pit” allowing for a significant reduction in time dedicated driving to and from fuel stations. This paper outlines the key advantages of the technology, progress highlights for projects completed to date, and an outlook for further developments with Robofuel providing key capabilities as part of an integrated, automated, autonomous mining roadmap.
