}}Wenco International Mining Systems, Ltd. (Wenco) is a Canadian technology company that develops, manufactures, and distributes computer systems to manage and control surface mining equipment. It is a provider of fleet management and machine guidance technology to the mining sector.[1] The company's computer systems include software and hardware that record data related to mining equipment activity, location, time, production, and maintenance.[2] This information also displays to machine operators and other mining personnel.[3] Its systems run at open-pit sites operated by large mining conglomerates De Beers Group of Companies, Syncrude, KCGM, the United States Steel Corporation, Canadian Natural Resources Limited, and others.[4][5]

Founded in 1983, Wenco maintains its head office in the Metro Vancouver city of Richmond, British Columbia. It also operates satellite sales and support offices in the United States, Chile, South Africa, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Russia, India, and Australia.[2] Since 2009, the company has operated as a subsidiary of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., a division of Hitachi Group of Companies.[6][7]

Products

Wenco's systems rely on a combination of GNSS technology, wireless infrastructure, and computer hardware and software to track mining equipment activity, location, time, and production information.[4] These systems connect mobile computers on field equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, and haul trucks with office computers and an SQL-compliant database.[1][8] Mines use these systems for a range of purposes, including pit reporting, ore blend control, material tracking, production efficiency, and overall pit management.[9] Wenco also shares its system data with common third-party mining technology systems through its public API.

Ongoing development

Since 2013, Wenco has pursued development and testing of an autonomous haulage system in conjunction with Hitachi Construction Machinery.[10] A commercially viable autonomous truck is anticipated for delivery in 2018–2019.[11]
