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, and a Resource Leveling algorithm. iScheduler-UG is purposely built for sequencing and scheduling various 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, which supports unlimited undo/redo.
iScheduler-UG also offers a unique and powerful feature called Activity Specialization. It allows the mine planner to quickly turn their long or medium-term underground schedules into short-term (weekly or daily) schedules or to mix and match long or medium-term activities with short-term activities in a single production schedule.
iScheduler-UG Key Benefits
- Comprehensive: Automatic and interactive scheduling for short-term and long-term planning of underground mines with support for multiple block models, stope and mine development layout.
- Flexible: Manual or automatic activity sequencing and resource-leveling. Two-way interface with Microsoft project through XML format.
- Integrated: Seamlessly integrates and schedules all relevant geological and mining data generated by all other GeoMine modules without the need for the error-prone import/export steps typically required by standalone scheduling tools.
- Intuitive: Stope and mine opening slicing tools for creating short-term production schedules
iScheduler-UG Feature List
Long-Term Schedule:
Creates strategic and/or production schedules from stopes and mine layouts; Optionally uses optimal cut-off grade and production rate policies created by OptimCut.
Short- or Medium-Term Schedules:
Interactively creates short- or medium-term stope slice and mine opening segment activities incorporating precedence constraints.
Mining Task Generation:
Creates and schedules non-3D activity (logical) tasks.
Resource Management:
Creates resources and assigns them to mining activities or tasks; Levels resources that are assigned to activities or tasks.
Gantt Chart:
Creates Calendar activity and resource schedules Gantt Chart, PERT and Network Diagram representations.
Activity Specialization:
Turns long(yearly) or medium-term(quarterly or monthly) schedules into short-term (daily or weekly) schedules;
Mixes and matches long or medium-term activities with short-term activities in a single production schedule.
Schedule Animation:
Includes playback, pause, resume, fast forward and backward schedule activities.
