A complex underground mining operation in North America, with multiple ore bodies, development areas, and shared infrastructure needed a way to evaluate different improvement opportunities. Traditional planning approaches, relying on static schedules and…
Pronto.AI, an AHS provider, and Whittle Consulting partnered with Amalgama Software Design to evaluate whether smaller autonomous trucks could outperform larger manned trucks economically and operationally. Challenge The traditional approach to LOM calculations…
Nornickel, a leading global producer of nickel and palladium, implemented a simulation-based decision support system (MineTwin) to improve planning and coordination across six of its underground mining operations. The model has been in…
South Crofty, a historic underground tin mine in Cornwall, UK, is being redeveloped by Cornish Metals. To validate the restart plan, which includes shaft rehab, developing underground infrastructure, and a phased ramp-up, Tomahee…
An Event Graph is a graphical representation of a discrete system for which a static simulation algorithm can work on. It is an intermediary step between system specification and simulation implementation. An Event…
(Source: Simio via AssemblyMag) In general, a business process would play out through multiple, different events in sequence. As an example, let’s think about a logistics chain involving a truck: it arrives at…
In an earlier post, we defined simulation as “a replication of a real-world process or event in an environment that is isolated or disconnected from its real-world counterpart.” The basic idea is to…
