SMART II’s visualisation, control and optimisation capabilities include:

• resource shift schedule planning across complex multiple heading rapid developments
• user or machine-based physicals capture for production management and reporting
• interactive real-time shift optimisation based on simulation using actual machine and location data
• concurrent parallel simulations for comparative analysis of scenarios for bottleneck scheduling
• full integration into the Minetec Trax+Tags for real-time machine and vehicle movement monitoring and status
• web-based interface provides system control from any location

.

“Minetec has improved the intelligence inherent in SMARTS II modules to address the mining cycles for literally any mining method and associated scenarios, ” executive general manager Andy Sheppard said.
