Wenco International Mining System has had a fleet management system commissioned at the Agnico Eagle Meadowbank gold mine in Nunavut Territory, Canada. Meadowbank gold mine is a low arctic operation located about 2,600 km northwest of Toronto and began producing gold in 2010, and is expected to produce over 28 Mt from 2013 to 2015.

Wenco MobileOT hardware and software components were installed on a total of 38 pieces of equipment, including eight high-precision BenchManager systems on excavators, loaders, and backhoes.

Glen Trainor, Wenco Vice President of Sales and Marketing said “Our fleet management system will give Meadowbank mine enhanced ability to maximize worker health and safety while improving productivity and availability of equipment and personnel, additionally our ruggedized hardware can operate without difficulty in the extreme cold weather environment of the low arctic.”
