Chapter 1: Overview
Introduction
This manual is intended to build data collection system and to drive the data collection
work properly and smoothly, when collect the data that accumulated from working vehicles
equipped with KOMTRAX Plus on mine site to device of vehicle by wireless LAN.
Collection System
KOMTRAX Plus System is consisted of controller that can record and store vehicle’s
data, vehicles equipped with wireless LAN, collection station that can gather the data and
server that analyze the gathered data.
Collecting vehicle’s data through wireless LAN by using Data Collection Tool and
analyzing the data make it possible to create visualization of machine health, working
condition and fuel consumption. Therefore, can recommend improving productivity and
reducing LCC for customer.

«Vehicle’s Wireless LAN System»
Vehicles equipped with KOMTRAX Plus have wireless LAN modem for data collection.
For vehicle’s wireless application’s specification, please refer to the section ‹Vehicle’s
Wireless LAN Specification›.
«Collection Station»
There are 3 types of data collection station. To be able to select the most suitable
collation station in a nod to the scale of mine site that working vehicles, vehicle’s
operation and cost-effective.
For detail of collection station, please refer to the chapter ‹Chapter 2: Collection Type›.
«Server»
In the case of server is in store, to be able to analyze the vehicle data from variety of
angles. Collection station is needed to transfer to server through internet.
For method of transferring data, please refer to ”Data Collection Tool User Manual”.

Chapter 2: Collection Type
There are 3 ways of collection the accumulated data in the vehicle through wireless LAN
as below.
Laptop Model
Service Car Model
Hotspot Model
Please select and operate the most suitable method in a nod to the scale of mine site that
working vehicles and the form of vehicle’s operation. (See ‹Navigation›)
(Appendix) Vehicle’s data collection can be done by wired LAN. For method of data
collection by wired LAN, please refer to the service manual of vehicle.
Laptop Model
Laptop Model is the way to collect data closer to the stopped target vehicle by collector
manually. Data collection is done by manual with Data Collection Tool. This is suitable for
the small-scale mine site that have a small fleet.
This way can collect data at a minimal cost, however, collector need to collect data in a
state to target vehicles are stopped as in daily checking and feed.
Additionally, this way is used for collect data by service car or Hotspot, when collect the
data from such as vehicle under maintenance (or specific vehicle), and at the time of
equipment failure of Hotspot.

Service Car Model
Collection by service car is the way to collect data by collection device such as wireless
LAN antenna located at service car, then collector bring the laptop into service car and
download manually by using Data Collection Tool.
Collector wait in the place that target vehicle is sure to stop (such as fuel station of dump
tracks) or travel to the place that target vehicles working (such as loading point of
excavators) are main operation forms. Therefore, this is suitable for the middle-scale mine
site. Characteristically, available distance of communication is longer than the case of using
only laptop, because of using exterior antenna.
It is able to collect data when vehicle working and able to collect data at a low cost
relatively, however, it is necessary device that is located at service car.
It is able to locate the laptop that collect data in a car permanently, but there are some
risks such as broken, stolen, and battery of laptop is down. Therefore, it is recommended to
bring the laptop at the time of data collection.

HRM2015D0088-0-0
In the case of dump tracks, collector wait for target vehicle in the loading area.
When data collection of all dump trucks that come to the loading area has been
finished, collector move to the next loading point and collect the data.
Collector repeat this procedure and collect all vehicles in the mine site.

Hotspot Model
Hotspot Model is the way to collect the target vehicle’s data automatically without going to
the mine site. This is suitable for the large-scale mine site that have a large fleet.
The cost is the highest due to demand for stable power supply facility, communication
facility, preparation and laying of the collection facility that haves high environmental
resistance for data collection.
This way need professionals that have knowledge and skill of networks for laying suitable
wireless and wired LAN by each mine sites.
