BOLT is an advanced multi-commodity blending, stockpiling, and logistics optimizer that generates mathematically optimal material movement plans - boosting profits, reducing costs, and improving efficiency across your entire value chain.
With BOLT, Bengalla Mining Company improved their coal supply chain efficiency. By automating and optimizing planning processes, BOLT increased profit margins by 10% and significantly reduced planning time from weeks to minutes.
With BOLT, Adaro MetCoal maximized the Net Present Value (NPV) of the world's largest undeveloped metallurgical coal deposit in the Maruwai Coal Basin. BOLT enabled Adaro to evaluate and prioritize the development sequence of their seven concession areas and timing of processing and logistics infrastructure investments. This resulted in a 50% difference in NPV between the best and worst scenarios, equating to billions of dollars in potential improvement.
BOLT revolutionized the coal supply chain for BHP Mitsui Coal (BMC) by automating and optimizing processes. By transitioning from manual planning to a centralized, cloud-based platform, BOLT slashed plan generation time from a full day to under an hour. This enhancement not only boosted supply chain performance but also elevated the planning team's capabilities, leading to more optimal planning decisions.
By implementing BOLT, an iron ore producer improved their stockpiling, processing, transportation, blending, and vessel loading decisions, leading to a 44% increase in direct loading and higher product sales.
BOLT optimized vessel scheduling for an aluminum producer, reducing costs and preventing bottlenecks. Centralizing planning and automating schedules improved coordination across trucking, rail, and vessel loading, leading to significant annual savings in transportation costs and enhanced supply chain efficiency.
BOLT was deployed at an established, Australian coal producer to improve their logistical complexities across multiple planning horizons.
BOLT automated the manual planning processes for one of the world's largest coal mines, significantly improving efficiency. The solution optimized daily material movements and processing decisions, ensuring the correct coal grade ratios were delivered to the CHPP. This automation reduced planning time from days to minutes, enhanced plan adherence, and made reporting accessible to a broader audience.
BOLT helped a global aluminium producer optimize strategic decision-making across their bauxite operations. By planning the entire bauxite value chain with high fidelity, BOLT significantly reduced planning time from weeks to hours, leading to a substantial increase in Net Present Value (NPV) and improved efficiency across the client's global portfolio.
BOLT helped a leading global mining company maximize the Net Present Value (NPV) of their iron ore value chain. By centralizing and automating planning efforts, BOLT improved optimized blending and stockpiling decisions, and aligned production with demand. This resulted in a 10% improvement in NPV, enhanced organizational collaboration, and enabled rapid "what-if" scenario analysis.
Deswik partnered with a major mining company to simulate and optimize a complex, tide-bound river logistics system critical to a new mine’s export operations. Using a discrete event simulation model, they identified the optimal barge fleet size and revealed how small design changes could drastically reduce throughput. The insights enabled data-driven decisions that balanced efficiency, cost and operational constraints.
