Mine Scheduling Optimization Software Upgrade
Maptek announced Evolution 5, an upgrade to the company’s mine scheduling optimization software, which features an updated interface for scheduling with attributed solids. The upgrade enables short or medium-term scheduling with block models or solids, and seamless handling of stratigraphic reserves, the company reported.
Maptek reported Evolution 5 features capabilities enabling: enhanced road network tools, assignment of dependencies to solids; more control over processes and the accumulation of parcels; better validation of user data before submitting a scheduling job; user definition of residual capital categories that would apply towards the end of mine life when stockpiles are being depleted, reporting and graphing of any data related to the schedule.
When targeting multiple objectives, Evolution does not return a single schedule but rather a set of optimized trade-off schedules, the company reported.
