Vision

Forward looking predictive simulation enables multiple potential realities to be evaluated and compared based on a decision (e.g. blast timing). To facilitate this a single software environment is required that can handle all downstream and upstream events from this decision.

Integration

Full simulation from spatial in-situ origins to batch delivered destinations allows for examination and reduction across all points along the mining value chain. It allows for a connective framework to be generated that ties 2D delivered information streams to 3D in-situ resource models. Once connected, characteristics entering this framework can be propagated forward to predict 2D information streams or backwards to inform 3D models.

Integrated simulation means future scenarios can be run and evaluated ahead of time to achieve maximum insights and benefit.

Current Work

Ongoing activities include; blast movement, shovel excavation, haulage, conveying and coarse breakage.
