iGantt 3D Production Scheduling

iGantt Usage
iGantt is a tool for open-pit and underground production scheduling that integrates Gantt chart, 3D visualization and spreadsheet views of a production schedule.

iGantt can be used for scheduling a single operation or multiple operations across an enterprise.

Scheduling Methods
Visually from 3D view in context of assigning and sequencing digging equipment Gantt chart based scheduling Scheduling ancillary activities (drill and blast) to tie in with production Optional Blending and Optimization (targetbased) module

Features
Definable Attributes and Activity Types Assign precedences between Activities with optional allocation of lag Definable Reports Define View by Attributes (Mine, Pit, Bench, Blast, Block) Calculable attributes (a1 = f(a2,a3))

Scheduling Methods
Graphical / Visual Scheduling with Gantt chart based scheduling Automatically generate activities from production schedule with
precedences

Interactive Scheduling
Interactive Gantt Chartbased Scheduling Linkage between 3D view and Gantt chart
Click on a geometric object (solid or polygon) to see when it is scheduled Click on a iGantt chart bar to see where it is in the mine

Resource Scheduling
Resource Scheduling through
1. 2. 3. 4. Assigning resource to activities Capacity of resource Rate of resource Resource Calendar

Stockpiling Module
Schedule material onto stockpile and schedule draw-downs from stockpile View composition of stockpile as you schedule mining production Report on total material direct-feed and from stockpile reclaim to mill

Lump and Fines Stockpiles

Stockpiling Module
Combination of equipment scheduling with stockpiling for buffering and blending Stockpiles are linked to an individual quantity attribute and Capacity. Use stockpiles to target correct feed to mill

Blending and Optimization Module

Auto-generate precedences based on geometry of mining block polygons Set constraints on grade, mining and milling Optimize Medium-term to longer-term applications

iGantt Summary
Easy to use visual scheduling Integrate long-term with short-term Two way integration with GMP Integration with corporate databases Powerful scripting capabilities Stockpiling Capabilities Blending and Optimization Capabilities
