Scheduling

Material Flow Optimisation

The Optimise Material Flow tool has been added to the Scheduling | Schedule tab, in the Optimise group.

Click Optimise Material Flow to define a network of sources and destinations that generates or transforms material, applies constraints to locations, and routes material as required to optimise quantities into or out of destinations.

Vertical Dependencies for Bench Solids

The Vertical | For Bench Solids tool has been added to the Scheduling | View tab, in the Interactive Dependencies group to generate the vertical dependencies for the bench solids produced using the Bench Solids tool.

Select Vertical | For Bench Solids to build vertical dependencies between bench solids for one or more pits using extraction number, bench Z and optional pit identifier.

Each task will be linked to every other task on the previous bench that has a less than or equal extraction number. The vertical dependencies will describe a complete, and accurate, order for mining tasks.

Create Movie

It is now possible to save a "Scheduling animation" in video file format. On the Scheduling | View tab, in the Animate group: Click Create Movie to create a movie from the animation.

MP4 and WMV video file output formats are currently supported in a range of resolutions from SD (640x480) to 8K (7680x4320) as well as an option for a custom resolution.
