Other Applications
CMS. This is essentially a daily draw order production system. It monitors
daily actual tonnages and status per draw point and uses this to produce daily
draw orders which can be fed to an LHD dispatch system
LSQ. This is a Least Squares draw point sample analysis tool which enables
calibration of draw columns against actual measured sample grades.
