Truck-Shovel Fleet Optimizer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Optimizes truck-to-shovel ratios, fleet size, and production capacity.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides advanced fleet matching capabilities for mining and construction operations. It calculates the ideal truck-to-shovel ratio using get_optimal_truck_ratio to minimize idle time. Users can determine total output with calculate_production_capacity, estimate necessary equipment with estimate_required_fleet_size, and model operational disruptions using simulate_queuing_and_bunching to account for haul time variance and bunching effects.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_production_capacity

Calculates the total material output of the fleet over a specific duration

get_optimal_truck_ratio

Determines the ideal number of trucks to assign to a shovel to minimize idle time for both equipment types

estimate_required_fleet_size

Calculates the number of trucks needed to meet a specific production target

simulate_queuing_and_bunching

Estimates the impact of irregular truck arrivals on shovel productivity

What is the optimal truck-to-shovel ratio if a shovel loads in 2 minutes, a truck cycle takes 15 minutes, and availability is 90%?

The optimal truck count for this configuration is 7 trucks to maintain maximum efficiency.

Calculate the production capacity for a fleet with 5 trucks, a shovel productivity of 500 units/hr, a ratio of 4, and 85% availability.

The total hourly production capacity is 425 units.

How many trucks are needed to reach 1000 units per hour if shovel productivity is 600 units/hr, truck cycle is 12 mins, shovel cycle is 3 mins, and availability is 95%?

To meet the target of 1000 units per hour, you will require 18 trucks and 2 shovels.

You can use the `get_optimal_truck_ratio` tool. Provide the shovel cycle time, truck cycle time, and equipment availability to find the ideal ratio.
