Mining operations management trends
Mining operations require precise and careful planning, performance feedback, and integration across multiple facets of production. As global demand for raw materials and fuel increases mining companies must grow operations quickly if they wish to take full advantage of current market conditions, although this increase in global demand has brought with it rising competition and a scarcity of resources such as skilled labor. Leading mining companies realize that they must maximize returns from existing resources through more effective operations management; if they are to obtain desired growth.
Visual8 operations management tools are currently being used by leading mining companies to enhance decision making and improve operations management. Based on advanced simulation technology our operations management tools reduce process complexity by providing end-to-end visibility of mine performance across all levels of both production and supply. With years of experience in the mining industry we have developed solutions for a wide variety of mining operations from out cut to underground operations, from coal mining to iron ore; every solution is custom developed to meet the clients individual operational requirements.
Open Cut Mining operations
Visual8 open cut mining operations solutions provide both long-term planning and operations management assistance. Detailed simulation models allowing planning teams to conduct what-if analysis on proposed designs in a risk free environment enhancing both strategic and feasibility studies. The same solutions can also be used to enhance day-to-day mining operations, providing a tool for short term design objectives and performance improvement in both dragline and truck & shovel mines.
Underground Mining operations
Visual8 underground mining planning solutions allow fast efficient what-if analysis of potential designs, allowing planners to make more informed decisions, improving accuracy, reducing the need for corrections, and thus speeding up the creation of underground mining design. Taking this one step further the same underground mining solutions can be integrated with operational scheduling to provide managers and operators with a totally integrated planning and scheduling tool; further enhancing underground mining operations.
Mining operations management solutions
- Visualize operations: Model operations from existing CAD designs; model shafts, drifts, ramps, trucks and shovels
- Efficient what-if analysis: Test a range of layout and production alternatives, analyze their performance, all in a risk free virtual environment
- Integrate: Combine mine design with operational scheduling to create the ultimate planning environment; leave nothing to chance
