iScheduler Underground Mining

Integrated Life-Of-Mine and Production Scheduler for Underground Mines

From Stope or Cave Designs to Gantt Charts, GeoMine iScheduler-UG is an integrated production scheduler for underground mines. iScheduler-UG features a fully interactive 3D activity and dependency editor, activity and resource Gantt Charts, a PERT chart and a Network Diagram, as well as a Resource Leveling algorithm. iScheduler-UG is purposely built for sequencing and scheduling various kinds of mining activities and resources for short to long-term planning of underground mines. Activities and dependencies can be generated automatically or manually through its powerful interactive Activity and Dependency Editor that supports unlimited undo/redo.

iScheduler-UG also offers a unique and powerful feature called Activity Specialization that allows the mine planner to easily turn their long or med-term underground schedules into short-term (weekly or daily) schedules or to mix and match long/mid-term activities with short term activities in a single production schedule.

iScheduler-UG Key Benefits

  • Automatic and interactive scheduling for short to long-term planning of underground mines with support for multiple block models, stopes, caves stope/cave slices and mine development layout.cave
  • Calendar based activity and resource schedules with Gantt Chart, PERT and Network Diagram representations.
  • Interactive Activity and Dependency Editor for creating associative 3D activities and dependencies from various mining objects.
  • Manual and/or automatic activity sequencing and Resource Levelling.
  • Activity Specialization for mix and match long term and short term activities in a single schedule
  • Schedule animation including playback, pause, resume, fast forward and backward.
  • Directly use GeoMine-Stopemizer and GeoMine-OptimCut results as input to create optimal and practical stoping sequences for long-term planning.
  • Intuitive stope and mine opening slicing tools for creating short-term production schedules
  • Two-way interface with Microsoft Project through XML format.

Create and schedule non-3D activity (logical) tasks.

Create resources and assign them to mining activities or tasks; Level resources that are assigned to activities or tasks.

Create Gantt-Charts, Resource Charts or Network Diagrams from mining activities and tasks.

Turn long(yearly) or mid-term(quarterly or monthly) schedules to short-term (daily or weekly) schedules

Mix and match long/mid-term activities with short-term activities in a single schedule.

Play, pause, resume, fast forward and backward medium or short-term schedules.
