Kuchera

Kuchera teamUp is a mining operations performance management platform for mining companies and load-and-haul contractors that uses vehicle-mounted IoT devices and AI-driven analytics to improve productivity, availability, and safety in truck haulage operations.

Key capabilities include:

• Real-time asset management and live tracking of truck location and operational status, plus notifications when unusual events occur
• Plug-and-play telematics boxes installed in trucks to collect high-frequency data on behaviours, routes, downtime, and operational activity
• Fuel monitoring for consumption, idling time, and refuelling events, including visibility that can help flag potential fuel theft
• Operational reporting and forecasting, including daily and monthly reports used for invoicing, reporting, and load-and-haul forecasts, plus production insights such as output versus targets and recommended output rates

Platform availability is not publicly specified; the product is referred to as the teamUp app and a platform.

It is designed for B2B mining operations, including small to medium-sized independent mines and mining contractors that need OEM-independent oversight across mixed fleets.

Notable in African mining contexts, the solution is OEM-agnostic (works across equipment manufacturers) and has documented activity in markets such as Zimbabwe (including deployments at Eureka Gold Mine). Reported outcomes include reduced daily fuel consumption across fleets, improved productive load accuracy, more accurate distance-based invoicing, and higher loads per hour through cycle standardisation.
