Schedule Optimisation
It's more than schedule optimization it's real-time intelligence with confidence. The latest intelligence to solve mining's hardest problems.
How it works
Using the latestest in Heuristic and Meta-heurisitc sovlers, the AVA team maps the constraints of your unique operation - ranging from truck and loader allocation to shadow prices and contract oblications in final product blending. Creating a dynamic schedule that re-calculates in real-time allows for every operation to be agile as daily conditions change.
Applications
Dispatching of trucks to loaders to balance, utilization, cost and grade can result in numerous trade-offs, difficult to make at any point in time. Schedule optimization is the ultimate in decision support with the optimal solution across multiple solvers continuously being calculated and presented.
Allocating trucks
Start and run every shift with the perfect alocation of trucks to loading equipment and faces. As operating context changes, so will the schedule, allowing the dispatch team to know exactly what the impact of unforseen events to be. Planned maintenance is taken into consideration, as is the cost of re-allocation.
Optimise blending
Grade is likely the most sensitive metric in any minerals business, and delivering the on-spec and in-time grade shouldn't be left to guess work. Schedule the required assets to meet the blending and volume, integrated operations can respond to variation in a planned and focused way.
Pull model
Turn your operation into a pull model by using the order book to drive the required schedule on an in-shift basis. Manage priorities, loading areas, routes and congestion to get trucks, ships and trains loaded as they need to be.
