BKI-Fuel Monitor starts with reliable sensing and grows into a continuous fuel intelligence and optimisation service for mining and heavy-equipment operations. Our training programs prepare your team to measure fuel reliably, turn fuel data into mining-specific recommendations, and prove the improvement.
One seat admits one participant from your organisation to that month's program.
Fuel is one of the largest controllable operating expenses in mining. Most operations record fuel issues and tank levels, and investigate only after a loss or overrun shows up. Data alone does not explain why consumption is high or what to do about it. Hardware can be bought from many suppliers and dashboards can be copied. What sets a BKI-Fuel Monitor partner apart is understanding how mines operate, reading the data correctly, and recommending actions that measurably improve outcomes.
Choose the right sensor, install and calibrate it correctly, and establish a dependable baseline before drawing any conclusions.
Give mining-specific insights and practical, prioritised actions, not just alarms and dashboards.
Track corrective actions and demonstrate verified savings against an agreed, transparent baseline.
Position BKI-Fuel Monitor as a fuel-performance service, scope pilots, and explain value in terms of operating indicators rather than broad savings claims.
Commission BKI-Fuel Sensors correctly, calibrate tanks, check data quality, and tell a sensor or connectivity fault from a real fuel event.
Mine managers, fleet managers, fuel supervisors and equipment operators who will act on the findings and own the corrective actions.
BKI-Fuel Monitor works as a continuous cycle, not a one-time installation. Every program is organised around these seven steps.
Install suitable sensors and telematics; capture fuel levels, location, refuelling and draining events and engine data.
Understand normal consumption across equipment, shifts, conditions and work types, and correlate it with hours, distance, payload and tonnes moved.
Spot abnormal drops, unexpected refuelling, excessive idling and changes in consumption.
Combine fuel events with location, shift, activity, production and maintenance records to separate real losses from legitimate activity or measurement anomalies.
State the issue, its likely impact, the proposed action and how the improvement will be verified.
Measure the result against an appropriate baseline after the action is taken.
Refine benchmarks, catch recurring problems and prioritise the next improvements.
Nine modules, from the sensor in the tank to verified savings in the boardroom, followed by applied solution tracks and real case studies from India and around the world.
Advanced topics expand as data integrations become available at customer sites.
Each program includes practical tracks based on the fuel-management solution areas Omnicomm deploys worldwide, adapted to Indian mining and heavy-equipment conditions.
Record and reconcile every refuel, drain, tanker dispense and storage fill.
Compare litres per engine hour or per 100 km with set norms and flag inefficient use.
Separate fuel burned on productive work from fuel lost to idling and off-route running.
Monitor bowser dispensing, gauge stationary tanks and authorise fuel issues remotely.
Track operating vs idle time for excavators, loaders, dozers and other earthmovers.
Cut unnecessary mileage and get alerts for route deviation and restricted areas.
Speed, work schedules and timely maintenance: a poorly maintained engine burns more fuel.
Explosion-proof sensing with spark-protection barriers for tankers and fuel stores.
Local Wi-Fi with satellite backhaul so remote pits and camps still report.
Feed fuel data into ERP and third-party telematics, so it isn't stuck on one screen.

Every program works through real fuel-management deployments: what the problem was, what was installed, what changed, and the lesson for your own sites.
Before: 2,500+ vehicles across 14 states; drivers dipped tanks with a yardstick and logged fuel on paper; fuel was drained between trips and pumps were damaged by running dry.
Deployed: LLS 4 sensors with third-party GPS trackers, piloted on 2 tippers (Sep 2019), then 350 vehicles.
24% lower fuel consumption (Oct 2019 vs Oct 2018); test tippers went from 1.7 to 3.2 km per litre.
Lesson: prove it on a small pilot, then scale.
Source: Omnicomm case studyBefore: 60 cargo trucks; fuel figures came from driver reports that were inconsistent and could not be verified.
Deployed: LLS 4 sensors and GPS trackers, piloted on 3 trucks, then the full fleet (Feb 2019).
About 12% fuel saving per month.
Lesson: replace driver-reported fuel with measured fuel.
Source: Omnicomm case studyBefore: crane fleet serving the Mumbai port area; fuel and refuelling tracked only in logbooks.
Deployed: trackers, fuel-level sensors and the Omnicomm Online platform on 25 cranes (phase one).
About 350 litres saved per week, against roughly 4,000 litres weekly consumption, within 6 months.
Lesson: verify every refuel against what the tank actually received.
Source: Omnicomm case studyBefore: about 260 trucks, excavators, graders and diesel generators at a remote site with no mobile coverage.
Deployed: trackers on the whole fleet, LLS 4 sensors, RFID and a local Wi-Fi network with satellite internet, over about 15 months.
About 45% direct diesel economy, 40% better fleet usage and 11% fewer repair cases (company estimates).
Lesson: no network is no excuse; remote pits can be monitored.
Source: Omnicomm case studyBefore: a 103 km road upgrade with high fuel use, idling, route inefficiency and GRI energy-reporting requirements.
Deployed: sensors and trackers on every energy-consuming asset, stationary tank gauging and remote fuel authorisation.
32% fuel savings.
Lesson: fuel data also feeds sustainability and carbon reporting.
Source: Omnicomm case studyBefore: 21 of 39 haul trucks had recurring fuel-injector and oil-filter problems.
Deployed: trend monitoring with real-time alarms for injector pressure and filter blockage, plus standard work orders to act on them.
Fuel burn fell from 373 to 305 litres per hour (over 18%), an estimated US$3.4 million a year across 21 trucks.
Lesson: equipment condition is a fuel lever, not just theft control.
