Case Study: Lhoist boosts operational efficiency by 22% with Propeller Aero’s DirtMate

Lhoist boosts operational efficiency by 22% with Propeller Aero

Lhoist, a 136-year-old family-owned minerals supplier, faced operational challenges at its Amargosa Valley quarry due to changing geology. This led to untracked equipment idle time, manual workflows causing data discrepancies, and an engineering backlog that slowed decision-making. To address this, Lhoist turned to Propeller Aero and implemented its DirtMate solution for real-time productivity data.

By deploying Propeller Aero's DirtMate, Lhoist gained real-time visibility into machine utilization and production volumes. The solution delivered a 22% increase in operational time within the same labor hours, with fuel savings alone paying for the annual subscription in under four weeks. Additionally, Propeller Aero helped Lhoist reduce stockpile conversion loss from 15% to under 3%, preserving valuable ore.
