Studio OP is a comprehensive solution for short- and medium-term planning of open pit mines, offering mine planners a flexible environment for automated reserve generation, pit design, and scheduling. Its sophisticated algorithms and lightning fast unique rules-based automated pit design functionality has transformed mine engineers’ ability to produce and compare multiple alternative designs and layouts. The Auto Scheduler produces achievable schedules with desired financial outcomes, product blend specifications, and realistic equipment movement, requiring minimal manual intervention. Schedules can be exported to EPS for communication and reporting. Ideal for tactical mine planners, Studio OP helps produce optimal medium-term plans, budgets, and detailed short-term operational schedules, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your organisation.
STudio OP is the complete solution for open pit design and operational scheduling. It contains functionality for both medium- and short-term planning of open pit mines.
Studio OP has tools for the design of pits and generation of mining surfaces, and allows you to generate mining blocks from pit and phase shapes. Mining blocks can be evaluated against a block model and scheduled to generate medium- and short-term operational plans. If the model contains strategic planning information such as pushback or sequencing information, this can be used.
Existing external mine designs in the form of string and surface data can be used in the generation of the mining block reserves for scheduling.
