Introducing the new MineSight Schedule Optimizer

Outline
Integrated planning and workflow Equipment scheduling Stockpile handling Underground planning Schedule analysis tools More constraints Speed up Reporting and charting Multi-period scheduling looking ahead

Integrated Planning Tool

STP, MTP and LTP Open pit and Underground 3DBM and stratigraphic/GSM Cuts (blocks, regular cuts, bench reserves) Partial (percentage) cuts mining 64-bit CPLEX optimization engine Gantt (in dev.)

Integrated Planning Spiral

Integrate MSSO with
MSHaulage MSIP-MM MSEP MSSP MSAtlas

Save schedule to
MSPD Block model

Interoperability
MineSight 3D viewer integration
Visualization Animation Manual/interactive scheduling

Streamlined Workflow
Canvas integration
Drag and drop Material flow

Property dialog
Capacity Period availability Filled tonnage

New GUI
Dockable panels

Equipment Scheduling
Equipment scheduling options
Schedule without equipment Schedule then assign equipment Schedule with equipment

Cycle time data

Default cycle time (phase/bench/destination) Import from MineSight Haulage (cut/destination)

Truck/Shovel hour constraints, and reports

Stockpile Handling
Reclaim methods
FIFO LIFO Average Any Materials Tonnage Volume Grades

Opening balances

Underground Planning
Solids Stopes MS3D viewer Gantt

Schedule Analysis Tools

ARC Visualization Animation Gantt

More Constraints (1/2)

Multi-phase dependency Phase lead/lag Number of partial (open) benches Volume constraints Destination tonnage & volume capacity Destination availability Truck & shovel hour Haulage route availability Stockpile closing balance

More Constraints (2/2)

Partial (Percentage) cut mining
Splitting tonnage tolerance Minimum leftover tonnage Maximum partial cuts each period Must complete partial cuts from pervious periods Must fully mine preceding cuts on upper level

Speed Up
Loading cuts Updating MSPD Optimization
CPLEX optimization engine Multithread Multi-core ability 64-bit

Reporting and Charting

ARC library integration Standard and project templates Analysis report Publish report Cash flow report (in dev.) Real-time reports & charts (in dev.)

Multi-Period Scheduling
Scheduling period window Non-fallible/Infallible scheduling (in progress)
