MineTwin

MineTwin is a planning and decision support tool for mining companies and consultants. It is a self-configurable discrete event simulation and scheduling platform that simulates underground and surface mining operations. TYPICAL CHALLENGES ADDRESSED USING MINE-TWIN 1) Quantify return on investment Perform comparative analysis of CAPEX initiatives in a risk-free environment. Use MineTwin to simulate various CAPEX scenarios including adding a hoist, rail system extension or even switching to unmanned trucks and loaders. 2) Test mine plan feasibility Consider mobile fleet congestion, ore quality fluctuations, queuing in front of ore passes and other factors before committing to weekly, monthly or annual production plan. 3) Determine production capacity Determine the real achievable production capacity of open-pit or underground mine. Find bottlenecks that constrain the ore flow – anything from drill & blast works to mobile fleet, lack of ore passes to slow trains or even skip hoist. 4) Evaluate operational improvements Simulate operator hot-seating, introducing one-way roads, intermediate ore buffers or virtually any other idea to evaluate the impact of the proposed changes both on production volume and costs. MineTwin uses Amalgama® platform and libraries to provide fast and adequate simulation models of underground and open-pit mines. Scenario management environment with 2D and 3D mine layout editors and data correctness checking simplifies data management and scenario building. MineTwin allows users to simulate years of mine operations within minutes on a regular PC. Simulation can be run with or without an interactive dynamic 2D and 3D animation. Switching off the animation allows to further accelerate the simulation and scenario analysis. Any questions? Review a demonstration, request a demo, or contact us.
