With Deswik.SPD, users can now quickly generate multiple pit designs for any number of optimization runs, compare results and select go-forward cases. Final pit designs which took days to create manually can now be created in minutes, enabling planners to spend less time doing repetitive design tasks and more time analyzing results and evaluating options.
The Mine Closure Risk Ratio is proposed as a simple method of measuring Life of Mine risks related to mine closure. This paper looks at the Mine Closure Risk Ratio as a decision support metric used to integrate mine production and closure considerations when evaluating all business plan scenarios.
Deswik’s Auto Designer is one of the most powerful tools in Deswik.CAD, automating repetitive tasks using a simple rules-based approach to allow users to construct rule sets representing design criteria or steps required. This tool has now been extended to support a range of use cases for both underground and surface operations.
Tips for improving Deswik.CAD and Deswik.Sched startup speeds when working over a VPN or slow connection.
2020.2 Deswik.SO has been updated to support AMS Stope Shape Optimizer version 4. This latest release from AMS features improvements to the SSO algorithm and several major new features and enhancements.
With the increasing amount of operational execution data being generated by mining operations, Deswik has been exploring how to truly integrate operational plan execution with upstream mine planning processes. This paper discusses the people, process, and technology considerations for SIC in mining, and provides a review of several SIC concepts applied in the industry today.
Conducting road audits is usually a manual and time-consuming process. By using the Deswik Road Audit tool, sites can complete the road audit process much faster, allowing operations to get quicker feedback and free up personnel to complete value-add tasks.
As mining operations seek greater conformance to plan and margins become increasingly tight, end of month (EOM) reporting needs to keep pace with these increasing requirements. This paper provides the mining industry an option for greater analysis of EOM data whilst decreasing the time consuming workload on survey departments.
La programación de corto plazo de una mina subterránea es un proceso dinámico y repetitivo. Este documento ofrece algunas recomendaciones sobre las mejores prácticas para optimizar y automatizar este proceso.
Why Leapfrog and Deswik.Mapping are a winning combination for resource geology teams: an underground mapping to implicit modeling workflow.
As a number of survey departments make the transition to Deswik, we are seeing an increased interest in the open pit survey tools that Deswik has to offer. This blog post shows some open pit-based workflows that survey departments may have to perform.
La construcción y el mantenimiento de vías que se ajusten a los requisitos de seguridad es un elemento fundamental para el funcionamiento de las operaciones mineras y hay un enfoque creciente en las auditorías y la conformidad de las vías.
El proyecto de interoperabilidad Open Mining Format (OMF) del grupo está desarrollando un formato abierto de intercambio de datos 3D que permite compartir, sin problemas, los archivos complejos entre soluciones de minería de terceros y alentando a los proveedores a adoptarlos.
This article looks at the applicability of introducing buffer tasks to a schedule, in order to apply the Theory of Constraints and suggest alternates. Find out why the recommended approach is to analyze mining “stocks” and ensure that the correct mining rate is being applied, rather than introducing buffer tasks.
Los usuarios de Deswik.CAD tienen a su alcance poderosas funciones de levantamiento topográfico integradas. Aquí presentamos una breve recopilación de algunos consejos útiles para aprovechar al máximo Deswik.CAD para realizar levantamientos topográficos y algunos consejos de CAD estándar para todos los usuarios.
This paper provides recommendations for optimizing critical path by managing shared locations and materials in underground construction projects.
This paper has been written to introduce new mining engineers to mineral resource block models: their structure, the brands they may come across, the types they may come across, and issues that they will need to understand to avoid mistakes in their use.
Los marcadores triangulares de pendiente (Triangle Slope Markers) proporcionan una herramienta gráfica sencilla para demostrar rápidamente el comportamiento de las superficies y de los sólidos tomando como base los requisitos del usuario.
Dada la prevalencia de los vehículos aéreos no tripulados en la industria minera, las operaciones ahora tienen a su disposición una cantidad de datos sin precedentes que pueden usar.
This article looks at the impact of scheduling site trucks filled with dry tonnes from the block model rather than wet tonnes required by the trucking simulation.
Is the industry standard practice of modelling trucking using the ramp centre-line, versus using the actual truck path an issue or not?
This article has been written specifically for those who are new to pit design and may need some advice on how to undertake a pit design.
Earlier this year, we released our short-range ore control modeling & design tool, Deswik.OPSTS to allow open pit mine planners to quickly produce short-term production plans from a single pit shell solid.
In 2017 there have been over 50 enhancements added to the roadmap and at present over 60% of them have been added into the CAD platform.
Integrating landform engineering and closure cost calculations into your tactical mine planning delivers a more complete, overall view of the value of a project.
The Deswik Unifed File format (.DUF) is a new file format for faster loading and saving of CAD files. The bigger the file, the bigger the performance improvement
