Volvo Site Operations delivers actionable insights across all machines and assets - regardless of brand - empowering you to make smarter, safer, and more sustainable decisions. With data at your fingertips, you’ll boost productivity, reduce emissions, and optimize performance across your entire mixed fleet.
Improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO₂ footprint
Volvo Site Operations is a powerful solution for reducing CO₂ emissions, with potential fuel savings of 10-15%. Smart map functionality guides operators to make optimal decisions, reducing queues, wait times and fuel consumption.
The service measures CO₂ emissions across all machine brands, provides fleet optimization insights, data-driven improvements and consumption analysis, paving the way for electrification.
Boost your productivity
Volvo Site Operations delivers actionable data to optimize material movement, increasing productivity by 10-20%. By measuring critical parameters in the production flow, our service provides valuable insights to streamline upcoming tasks.
It also helps operators avoid costly mistakes and rework by alerting them to potential faulty dumps in real-time.
Volvo Site Operations creates a digital version of your job site, providing real-time monitoring to enhance safety, efficiency, and decision-making. It offers a live machine map, integrates with production systems, and delivers actionable insights. Volvo Site Operations is available in two packages: level Start and Advanced.
Machines are equipped with a tablet running a map-based tracking app. Data is gathered from machine APIs, third-party assets (e.g., weighbridges, onboard weighing), and manual inputs. This enables real-time insights for smarter decision-making. An Office Portal provides an overview of all machines and production data from crushers, silos, and more.
The service benefits multiple industries that depend on heavy equipment tracking, operational efficiency, and safety monitoring. However, it is specifically optimized for earth moving or bulk material handling e.g.:
- Quarry & Aggregate Operations, Open-pit quarries
- Cement and asphalt production sites
- Metal production sites
- Above-ground mining support operations
Volvo Site Operations is brand-agnostic and compatible with all machine brands. It can collect data from most machines and trucks, depending on data and AEMP 2.0 API availability. Additionally, it integrates with third-party systems, including onboard weighing systems, weighbridges, crusher weigh systems, and other production metrics when accessible via APIs. While the system does not support API data export, it does offer data export using CSV.
- Real-time positioning of all assets and a shared map for all users with visualization of zones, traffic regulations, and Points of Interest (POI).
- Speeding alerts that automatically notify operators and visitors when they exceed speed limits.
- Restricted entry alerts that alert operators and visitors if they enter restricted zones.
- Monitor and track and review speeding or restricted-entry incidents at the office through event logs and heatmaps for analysis.
Includes all Start features, plus:
- Material flow monitoring for production and balance tracking
- Load ticketing system and efficient load dispatching
- Asset activity monitoring and back-office machine workflow assignment
- Faulty dump alerts heat maps for problem areas
- Machine usage and productivity dashboards
- Production data and site performance from production systems
- Hauler trip visualization
For level Start: Reliable GPS and GSM (3G+) coverage. For level Advanced: GPS/GSM coverage, AEMP 2.0 or rFMS credentials for automated data, and API integration for third-party production systems (e.g., onboard weighing, crushers).
Yes. A dedicated tablet kit is available separately for both Volvo and non-Volvo machines, including a pre-configured tablet, protective case, mount, power supply, and Volvo SIM card for connectivity.
Yes, for most data points:
- Live machine positioning.
- Instant load ticket updates.
- Machine performance metrics (e.g., fuel use, operating hours) following AEMP 2.0. Data update frequency depends on manufacturer.
Order in Services Marketplace via Volvo Connect: Volvo Connect (Contact your dealer for access or self-register your account).
Volvo Site Operations runs on a monthly subscription per machine. Pricing depends on the package level - Start or Advanced. One license is needed for each machine, where data is shared to the site operation either through API or through a connected tablet or both.
