2 OTR itrack TPMS The Translogik Off-the-Road (OTR) itrack Tyre Monitoring System provides fast, accurate, reliable real-time data on the condition of vehicle tyres, combined with live tracking of vehicle location and status. itrack provides a rugged and reliable solution with a range of features that allow mine operators to track their vehicle s tyre temperature and pressure, speed, braking and location in real-time and receive early warning of potential problems or hazards. This live data allows swift remedial action to be taken, which can be the difference between safe mine operation and a major incident. By ensuring the vehicle s tyres are operating within recommended temperature and pressure limits, itrack brings increased levels of safety to both the vehicle drivers and the technicians that work on them. From a commercial perspective, by ensuring that tyres are correctly inflated, tyre life is extended and costly down-time from repairs and intervention is reduced, improving productivity. Alarms trigger when user configurable operational threshold levels, such as tyre temperature, are exceeded, providing early warning of potential tyre or vehicle failure. Translogik itrack browser interface screenshots All data from the itrack system can be monitored remotely, in real-time, from any location with an internet connection via our browser based interface or mobile apps. The resilient Translogik servers reside in a secure offsite data storage centre, with full data backup, powered by a private substation running independently of the national power grid. Emergency power via UPS and diesel generator. i Live tracking of vehicle location Track your vehicles remotely, 24/7. Always know where your vehicles are and how they re performing.

5 OTR itrack TPMS TKPH Calculation Loaded and unloaded weights can be defined for each vehicle The load and drop areas can be defined using geo-fences Calculated taking into account loaded and unloaded speeds and distances Number of cycles are also counted and reported Geo-Fencing Keep your employees and assets safe. A Geofence is a predetermined area or boundary that is set for a particular vehicle fitted with itrack. If the vehicle crosses that virtual boundary or geofence area, then the tracking software can alert you. The system allows for multiple concurrent geo-fence zones to be defined to ensure that vehicles are only operating in approved areas, further increasing the safety of the mine. Robust, accurate and reliable The itrack system receives information on tyre temperature and pressure from the sensors (for up to 6 wheel positions), displaying it directly to the driver via the in-cab display, whilst simultaneously logging and uploading live data such as braking, vehicle speed, route travelled, fuel consumption and location to a central location via Wi-Fi or GSM. itrack uses the CAN Bus interface, providing the ability to integrate with other vehicle systems. i

6 Return on Investment Existing itrack users have reported increases in tyre life of up to 25% and fuel savings of up to 8%. Savings of this magnitude provide a rapid return on investment with the itrack system paying for itself in as little as 6 months. Translogik is a totally independent company enabling us to provide truly unbiased performance testing of different manufacturers mining tyres. Safety & Productivity: In a recent study carried out in Chile, it was discovered that a Bridgestone OTR tyre could run 10KPH faster than the equivalent Michelin tyres and stay within its recommended heat thresholds. This had the direct result of the mine only needing to run 25 dumper trucks as opposed to 27, thus saving on 2 x vehicles, fuel, driver salaries, maintenance and increasing safety (less vehicles on the road). Fuel savings: The same Chilean study demonstrated that running tyres at the correct pressure at all times has saved US$35,000 of fuel per truck per annum. Mechanical defects: itrack data analysis allowed them to identify uneven load distribution on several vehicles based on relative tyre temperatures; an overheating tyre was discovered to have been caused by a mechanical fault with the suspension which would otherwise have caused significant loss of tyre life or potential failure. They estimated that itrack saved them $120k USD (2 x Michelin 60 $60k each) on just the second day of trial, by alerting them to a tyre running at just 36 psi, therefore putting immense strain on the twin.

7 itrack system developments 3D Mapping - Provides alerts of excess G-force, pitch, yaw, roll and rate of descent. Logged onto itrack server. Battery Back up, will ensure the itrack system is still monitouring the pressure and temperature of each tyre even when the vehicle is completely isolated/shut down whilst in service areas or parked over weekends. EM-iProbe, Multi Inspection and analysis tool benefits include, automated tread depth, manual air pressure, RFID reading, TPMS activation and Nitrogen sensing, all information sent via Bluetooth to the vehicle which is stored on the server or sent to third party tyre management solutions. 3D Mapping Image RFID asset tracking of tyre casings and wheel rim parts Translogik & itrack - A commitment to excellence Translogik utilises its own staff to design and manufacture sensors/systems for the automotive industry. The Translogik systems are focused on maximising tyres life/usage and encouraging safe working practices. Translogik will offer a data analyst service as part of our solution, which will include reporting potential defects that may result in vehicle failure and potential workforce hazards. We continue to listen to customer feedback which in turn will lead to a continuous development programme of the itrack solution as new/improved technologies become available.
