OptiMine® Evacuation Assistant visualizes an evacuation mode, searching for the nearest safe places underground and providing the visibility of personnel locations. It guides personnel to the nearest rescue chamber depending on their locations and rescue chamber capacities to accommodate people, making sure they were able to reach a rescue chamber safely. It helps to execute evacuation timely and to focus on things that matter the most.
OptiMine® Playback is built on the 3D Mine Visualizer module and allows to view historical recorded data of locations and statuses of all assets and people that were underground during the selected time period.
OptiMine® Smart Scheduling allows automatic adjustment of production plans based on actual shift completion results. It substantially streamlines the process for the execution of the mine’s production plan most efficiently.
OptiMine® is a powerful suite of digital tools for analyzing and optimizing mining production and processes. It integrates with Newtrax IoT devices, delivering data from all assets, people, and equipment – including non-Sandvik equipment – into one source, providing real-time and predictive insights to improve operations. OptiMine® is open and scalable, giving customers the flexibility to build at their speed and incorporate other equipment, systems, and networks.
“Understanding and improving operations in real-time changes the game,” said Petri Mannonen, OptiMine® Product Line Manager, BU Automation, Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology. “Our customers are gaining higher efficiency and producing more tons each day as they act on these insights. Information and visibility of the operations make mining safer, more productive and more sustainable.”
