MINING SOFTWARE insights .
“ Specifically , we see improvements arriving for underground with better connectivity to charging units , a better understanding of borehole deviation and overall improvement in our understanding of blasted inventory material movement , which does not have many reliable advanced solutions outside of those offered by FMS providers .”

Glenn Barlow , GEOVIA Industry Process Expert Director at Dassault Systèmes , says ‘ virtual twins ’ within the 3DEXPERIENCE ecosystem are helping mining companies effectively collaborate internally and externally to progress mining developments and asset optimisations .
The Dassault Systèmes ’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform integrates and automates mining processes , dismantles silos and enables executives to focus on higher-value areas and optimised geotechnical , economic , productivity and ESG parameters . The optimisation ensures positive cash flow or net present value while adhering to sustainability and compliance goals , the company says .
“ Our clients rely on virtual twins to simulate and optimise mine designs , assess feasibility and streamline operations ,” he told IM . “ Engineering and design firms use the platform to create detailed and robust designs for mining
Dassault Systèmes ’ life of mine planning tools provide pit optimisation , phase generation , schedule optimisation and parametric mine designs which allow for instant updates and changes to be incorporated
infrastructure , from pit layouts to processing plants .”
This allows them to test various scenarios to ensure their designs meet operational and environmental goals .
“ Construction partners , meanwhile , benefit from the integrated project management tools , which allow them to plan and execute
