Live site intelligence for mining operations

Turn Live Site Data Into Better Decisions

Dust IQ turns live site data into a clear picture of what’s happening across your operation. Dust levels, road corrugations and other site telemetry are mapped directly over your site, helping teams identify problem areas, respond faster and make better decisions in real time.

Capabilities

Turn Site Conditions Into Actionable Intelligence

One platform turns Dust Ranger readings into a picture anyone on site can read and act on in seconds.

Live Dust Monitoring

Measure PM10, PM4, PM2.5 and PM1 as vehicles move across site, giving you a live picture of where dust is being generated.

Dust Heatmaps

Turn live Ranger readings into easy-to-read heatmaps, showing where dust hotspots are developing across your operation.

Road Corrugation Mapping

Detect and map road corrugations as vehicles travel the haul network, helping identify sections that may need maintenance.

GPS Location Tracking

Every reading is tied to a GPS location, so you can see exactly where dust and road condition events are occurring.

Road Temperature

Monitor road surface temperature across site to better understand changing conditions and their impact on dust.

Water & Dust Suppression Activity

Combine Ranger readings with available water truck, flow-meter and dust additive data to see where treatment is occurring and where more attention may be needed.

Live Site Telemetry

Ranger data is automatically transmitted to Dust IQ, giving your team current site information without manually collecting or downloading data.

Web, iOS & Android

Access Dust IQ from the control room or the field, with the same site intelligence available through the web dashboard and mobile app.

Meet the Dust Ranger

The Dust Ranger is a rugged, vehicle-mounted telemetry device built specifically for mining operations. As equipment moves across site, it continuously captures dust, road condition and location data, transforming everyday vehicle movements into live site intelligence through Dust IQ.

Talk to us about deployment

Built for Mining

Designed for installation on mining equipment and built to operate in the dust, heat, vibration and harsh conditions experienced across active mine sites.

More Than Dust Monitoring

Continuously measures PM10, PM4, PM2.5 and PM1, while also capturing GPS location, road surface temperature and vehicle movement data used to identify road corrugations.

Live Site Telemetry

Data is automatically transmitted to Dust IQ, where readings are mapped across the site to provide live dust heatmaps, corrugation mapping and site condition insights your team can act on.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Dust Ranger measures PM10, PM4, PM2.5 and PM1, together with GPS location, road surface temperature and vehicle movement data used to identify road corrugations.

Mining Experience

Proven Across Mining Operations

Dust IQ is backed by Dustac's years of experience working alongside some of Australia's largest mining operations to manage dust, road conditions and haul-road performance.

Real-time visibility at Western Range

The Dust Rangers have given the Western Range team much better visibility of dust conditions across the site. Having real-time dust and corrugation data available through the Dust IQ platform allows us to quickly identify problem areas and see how conditions are changing across the road network. The heat maps make the information easy to understand and provide a practical way to support road maintenance and dust management decisions. The system has also been easy to use, and the Dustac team has been responsive with ongoing support and improvements as our requirements develop. Overall, the Dust Rangers are providing valuable site data that helps us better understand road conditions and where attention is required.

Seven years of safe road management

DUSTAC has been supplying DUSTLOC to Fortescue port handling facilities for more than 7 years and continues to safely and successfully assist the site operations team to manage all unsealed roads in an environmentally responsible manner.

Eight years across the rail network

DUSTAC has spent more than 8 years working closely with the Rio Tinto Rail Maintenance team to track road data and implement dust suppression programs that suit the teams operations whilst managing their vast network of rail maintenance tracks.

Gudai Darri railway formation

DUSTAC successfully supplied and applied Soiloc to the Gudai Darri railway formation and Crossing Bridge abutment during the construction phase of the line to ensure surface integrity and reduce erosion.

Winu Copper access roads

DUSTAC has been involved with Rio Tinto at the Winu Copper Operation since exploration stage. We customised a road binding agent to manage soft sand passages through the dunes for access road construction and maintenance. The successful implementation of this project was completed in one of the most environmentally and culturally sensitive ecosystems in Australia.

Fast, and within budget

We needed a quick, cost effective dust management solution. The team at DUSTAC responded quickly and we had our solution at short notice and within budget.

A better, safer finish

DUSTAC presented us an alternative dust control strategy for broadacre management on one of our subdivision projects. Not only was it more cost effective, but it also gave us a better, more environmentally safe finish.

90km of haul road at Miralga Creek

DUSTAC played a crucial role in the development and expansion of the Miralga Creek project for Hancock Iron Ore by successfully managing over 90km of haul road and access road. Haul roads carrying upwards of 80 quads per day were treated with DUSTAC designed additives to control dust and stabilise the road surface. For three years the team from DUSTAC were onsite as a key contractor ensuring the roads were safe for traffic.
