Description
WHAT’S NEW
IN GEOVIA MINESCHED 2024
The GEOVIA MineSched 2024 release has focussed on
improving the short term planning workflow for Surface
mines that was first introduced in MineSched 2022.
There is also a key improvement made to the Haulage
Scheduling process that will allow it to be run in isolation from
the Production schedule.
NEW FEATURES IN GEOVIA MINESCHED 2024
Blast Locations
It is now possible to see when changes have been made to
the Blast Location source file, and use the Refresh function
to either:
• Add or remove Blast Locations
• Modify existing Blast Locations based on changes to D Fields
or spatial extents
This new workflow will save Mine Planners from needing to
re-import their Blast Locations when any changes have been
made to the designs.
It is also now possible to make Blast Locations active or
inactive from the 2D Canvas.
Ancillary Activity Resources
The process of setting up Ancillary Activities has been
significantly improved through the ability to access the 3D
Canvas for Resource allocation. The Resources can be dragged
on to each Location, and the Icon is displayed when a rule has
been applied.Being able to see all the Mining Locations when assigning
Resources will save time, and enable Mine Planners to create
robust and practical schedules.
Mining Priorities
The process of establishing the Mining and Ancillary Activity
Priorities has been significantly improved through the inclusion
of a new and improved Graphical Sequencer workflow.
It is now possible to set the starting priority, the Incremental
value and the visibility state. Each Blast Location can be
selected in the Priority sequence that best suits the mining
method. This workflow extends to the Ancillary Activities
Priory definition as well.The new workflow takes the best of the Graphical Sequencer,
and improves on it to empower Mine Planners to establish
practical and robust Production plans for all mining activities.
Mining Directions
A new Mining Direction option has been made available for
short term planning purposes. The Along String option allows
for strings to be used to determine the mining direction.This will allow for much greater accuracy for Blast Locations that curve around the Bench being planned.
This new Mining Direction option will be available for Locations that use the Polygons, Bench polygons or Solids Mining Methods.
Haulage Scheduling
A new option has been added to the Create Schedule process
that will allow the Haulage schedule to be turned on and off.
This will enable Mine Planners to first work on the production
schedule before considering the Haulage plan. This results in
a significant reduction in time to run a production schedule
when a large and complex haulage network has been set up.
