Whether the job is running a waste site, quarry, or managing port logistics, Volvo’s newest data platform can reveal efficiencies operators didn’t know were possible.
Across Australia, waste management, quarrying, bulk material handling and haulage companies are pressured to deliver more with less.
Work sites could be sitting on hidden cost savings valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars, says Volvo, all unlocked by its newest data platform – Volvo Site Solutions.
Exclusively delivered by CJD Equipment in Australia, Volvo Site Solutions turns standard daily data into actionable insights that improve efficiency, cut waste, and elevate safety.
Where other original equipment manufacturers offer generic telematics and fleet tracking, Volvo Site Solutions goes one step further, connecting people, machines, and site infrastructure into one integrated platform.
Through a suite of digital and physical services, operators can access real-time data and advanced technology for site management, production monitoring and consultancy services.
Key features
Comprising three major components, the Volvo Site Solutions system has been designed for ease of use and efficiency.
The connected map – a dynamic, digital twin of a job site – is a key feature and shows haul roads, restricted zones, and stockpiles in real time.
The combination of complete jobsite visibility and extensive visualisations of production data helps operators gain insights to optimise the performance of the site or even multiple sites at the same time.
Andy Oliveira, Sales Manager of Site Solutions for CJD Equipment says, “Giving managers a real-time positioning of vehicles, equipment, and people will help everyone on site make safer and more effective choices on a daily basis.”
The connected loadout is a digital load ticketing system that eliminates paper trails and ensures every tonne is accounted for – nothing goes to waste and every item of stock is being used to its full potential.
The performance indicator is one of the most rewarding aspects of the system.
Live productivity, fuel efficiency, and operator performance dashboards are tailored to site goals and measured against company key performance indicators (KPIs).
Tangible cost savings are to be expected when using the Volvo Site Solutions system.
Andy says one customer identified more than $400,000 in lost revenue annually from haul-back inefficiencies, something they’d never measured before.
How to get started
For those looking to get started with Volvo Site Solutions, CJD Equipment recommends a free, no-obligation initial consultation.
Using real-world case examples, Volvo demonstrates how site solutions tackles production, utilisation, and safety.
The meeting will also be used to explore operational priorities.
This will be followed by a week-long on-site visit by a Volvo specialist to understand the layout, operations, and existing technology.
Volvo believes this is the best way to get an in depth and thorough understanding of the site to provide the best outcome from the system.
Specialists will consider everything on-site, from machine types and operator workflows to connectivity and integration opportunities.
Once the assessment is complete, Volvo specialists will design a customised system based on site size, number of machines, and desired KPIs.
This site-specific solution could include mapping haul roads, identifying restricted zones, planning for data capture, and determining what metrics matter most – load and haul, material processing, or sales tracking.
Hardware and software installation is the next stage of the system integration.
Volvo specialists will install and configure the required hardware, integrate it with existing systems, and set up dashboards and reporting tools.
Operator and supervisor training will be held simultaneously to the software installation.
Understanding that technology adoption is only as good as its users, Volvo specialists run detailed training sessions with operators, supervisors, and managers to ensure everyone can use the system.
Once everyone is comfortable, the solutions site will go live with continuous remote monitoring and on-site support.
Volvo says customers can expect to see tangible results, such as reduced carry-back waste and improved fuel efficiency, within the first three months.
Each month builds capability on several business operations.
Month one focuses on operations basics. Features implementation is month two and month three is advanced analytics.
Volvo will also conduct a full review of the system reporting on how the system has impacted operations, cost savings, safety improvements, and productivity gains.
Customers can also choose Volvo’s annual support package, which includes site visits, software updates, and continuous performance monitoring.
Volvo says this local expertise and support network means customers can get real people on-site, not just a software subscription.
