Abstract

The fueling process for haul trucks in open-pit mining operations is traditionally manual, leading to inefficiencies, operational delays, and increased costs. This paper presents the design of an automated robotic fueling system aimed at optimizing fueling operations by automating key tasks such as fuel nozzle positioning, authorization, and process monitoring. The proposed system leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technology and a cloud-based architecture to enable real-time monitoring and seamless integration with existing mine infrastructure. The physical design of the system follows the German Guideline VDI 2206 methodology, while the cloud platform is structured using the Attribute Driven Design (ADD) 3.0 methodology to ensure scalability and adaptability. Additionally, interface prototypes were developed, including an Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and a responsive web application, to provide real-time data visualization and operational control. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of automation to improve fueling efficiency, enhance safety, and reduce downtime in mining operations.
