UFR HolePrep is a platform seeking to alleviate the serious safety issues associated with the cleaning and surveying of these holes in an underground mining scenario
sophisticated package includes reserving , dump and destination scheduling , equipment modelling , haulage modelling , product optimisation and reporting all rolled into one integrated mine scheduling solution .
The smarts of MinePlanner come to the fore when the scheduling engine is run as all components are considered in parallel rather than in series , the company says .
Reporting also gets a major upgrade with the introduction of live reporting always in sync with the scheduling engine .
According to Batkin , reporting is most valuable when in the middle of making scheduling decisions , so having live reporting ensures the right
information is available as and when needed . Being able to see the results of each scheduling change without the need to re-run the schedule provides significant advantages and time savings , too .
The inclusion of “ Breakpoint Scheduling ”, which RPM says it pioneered in 2021 , has been strengthened significantly with the addition of live reporting . Users now get immediate feedback on current scheduling results every time a breakpoint is reached .
Another new feature of MinePlanner is “ Schedule Locking ”. This allows the user to lock portions of the schedule they are finished with , avoiding the need to reschedule when refining future periods , the company explains . Schedule locking significantly reduces the time needed to complete a schedule by eliminating unnecessary reprocessing of scheduling periods that have already been successfully scheduled .
