Deswik.SOT

Schedule Optimization Tool

Realize more value from your underground resource with an NPV optimized schedule.

Key Features

SCHEDULE FOR VALUE
­Uses heuristics and a unique evolutionary algorithm to optimize the NPV of long term mine schedules. Control and narrow the focus by allocating more time to improving the highest-valued schedules.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
­Integrated within Deswik.Sched, the Deswik.SOT forms can be pre-populated from existing schedule fields.
UNDERSTAND RESOURCE CAPACITY
­Capacity Analysis feature reports on the valid capacity ranges for the operational resources. Investigate a range of scenarios with capacity flexing to assess alternative operational resource scenarios.
NEW IN SOT 4.0
In SOT v4, it is possible to manage blending constraints, vary fleet size according to optimization parameters, manage stockpiles and minimize development as part of the optimization strategy.
ASSESS RESULTS
­A set of significantly different schedules with the best optimized NPVs are retained for comparison. Add contaminant costs when the concentration passes a specified threshold for a given scheduling period.
