Data Inputs The main data inputs can be generated within StudioOP or other mining package: Mining block outlines (weekly blocks, blast outlines, or portion of a pushback bench) Corresponding reserves StudioOP has a wide range of design and data manipulation commands to help generating the required inputs.
Calendars The definition of mine infrastructure including stockpiles, processing methods , equipment, haul routes, and calendars can be set to any required level of detail
Scheduling Periods Non-Working days and Downtimes Planned Maintenance
Destinations Processing plants Stockpiles Waste dumps
Machines and Trucks Machines Haul Trucks Performance
Network Setup The haulage network can be defined using multiple: - Bench exits - Pit Exits - Intersections - Destinations - Dump points - Haulage roads - Sectors
Configuration of Activities Activities Grade Control Drilling & Blasting Loading
Haul Route: Intersection Node Haul (Cycle Time)
Destination: Plant (Capacity, Tonnes, Grades)
Haul Route: Road String
Plant
Haul Route: Pit Exit Source: Pit-Pushback-Blast (Tonnes, Grades, Destination, Machines)
Target: Tonnes, Product etc (Capacity, Grades) Haul Route: Destination Entry Destinations: Waste Dump, Leach Pads, etc. (Capacity, Cycle Time)
Haul Route: Dump Point Destination: Stockpile (Capacity, Grades, Cycle Time)
Interactive Scheduling
Interactive scheduling is straightforward with dynamic feedback on whether targets and constraints are being met
Reporting
Reporting includes plans, sections, tables, animations, Gantt charts, and output to reporting tools such as Excel
Current development Automated reserves generation - Create or import pushback solids - Create pushback benches - Create or import mining blocks - Add attributes - Evaluate Automated sequencing - Using NPV Scheduler or whittle sequence - By Pushback bench New main page design with ribbons Connectivity with Summit Scheduler for automatic scheduling
Future development Automated reserves generation - Automatic generation of mining blocks for short term planning - Automatic generation of mining blocks for mid term planning Automated update of data inputs Improved reports and animation Automated pit design and dump design utility - Quick generation of smooth designs - Dynamic updates of crest/toe strings above and below - Automatic generation of haul roads Connectivity with Summit for data management and reporting Improved haulage analysis Improved dump and stockpile modeling Complete UI update
