Discrete-Event Simulation of Payload Variance Effects on Truck Bunching

Business Challenges Data collected from payload management systems at some surface mining operations show significant variance. Heavily loaded trucks travel slower up ramps than lightly loaded trucks. Faster trucks are slowed by the presence of slower trucks, resulting in “Bunching” and production losses Suggested Solution This project has been completed to develop an algorithm and […]

Business Challenges The number of vessels to transfer mine materials is limited. There are few big competitors and predict of available vessels for chartering is important for big mining companies. Using machine learning is an innovative method to predict the vessel availabilities in different regions Suggested Solution Gathering data from different internal and external resources […]

Business Challenges The rate of mine material shipping (TC rate) is a dynamic parameter. This parameter plays a critical role to estimate the fin al material cost. There is an opportunity to build an integrated architecture and analytical platform that can provide business use rs with optimal decision capabilities based on a holistic overview of […]
