About SMART Benchmarking 


Formed in 1995, the SMART (Surface Mining Association for Research and Technology) benchmarking program was developed to form a coordinated approach to technology development for the mining industry.  Members include many of the major surface mining companies in North America.  Their website is www.smartmines.com.


SMART engaged Marston to develop a low cost solution to provide continuous, anonymous, secure, standard benchmarking.


The result:  A robust, user-friendly website.


Data is tracked for many equipment types in several equipment classes include cable and hydraulic shovels, draglines, haul trucks and loaders.


Marston keeps your data confidential and presents standardized equipment performance metrics anonymously.
