In our blog we have collated a select few experiences that may help you assess if our skillset can assist your organisation.


Reliable Software Solutions were engaged by a client to conduct a Specialist Weight Study. The aim of the weighing project was to assess the combination weight of a Komatsu PC 4000 Series Excavator transported with a Caterpillar 793 Haul Truck utilising the SLEIPNIR transport system.

Reliable Software Solutions were able to formulate safety documentation and site planning for the study, ensuring a safe and accurate site setup for the complex
procedure, which necessitated the setup and utilisation of two of the worlds largest OTR (Off the Road) Scales Systems within tight timelines due to operational parameters.

The study was conducted safely and successfully while also being credited as being the first time that this in-situ testing of the largest SLEIPNER system had been conducted world wide. The success was ensured by our experienced staff who pride themselves on data accuracy and strive for perfection from the preparation and setup stage, through the data gathering phase, right through to the final comprehensive reporting.

Many mine sites have issues with Carryback in their haul truck fleets. Knowledge of how carryback impacts on the daily operation of a mine fleet is important for operational optimization. Reliable Software Solutions were brought in by a client to participate in the planning and execution of a highly targeted longitudinal study designed to examine carryback accumulation over various truck tray types in a selected material. The study utilised OTR scales and was augmented with the addition of Reliable Software Solutions TruckScan I.T. volumetric system and proprietary software. Weight and volume data was gathered for the selected trucks over this longitudinal study providing quantifiable data enabling an accurate comparison between separate tray types.
Through our staffs’ tireless focus on accuracy throughout the process, from planning and site installation through to data gathering and analysis for reporting, Reliable Software Solutions was able to provide a complete picture with accurate and quantifiable data analysed and reported to the client, successfully exceeding site expectations.

All mine sites deal with materials of differing densities. Accurately knowing how these densities change when material is dug from the face and being hauled on the trucks can have important planning implications.

Reliable Software Solutions, using OTR scales and our TruckScan I.T. volumetric system and proprietary software, was able to assist a client by conducting a targeted density study on a specific material block of free dig clay waste.

Our involvement from planning through to the final reporting, our accurate and quantifiable data, ensured confidence when the final results were integrated into the sites planning scheme with target payloads and planning schedules being amended to match the measured results.
