Take mine planning to the next level

Accurate estimating – FAST

MineFED is a powerful estimating tool

Technology for making accurate estimates – fastMineFED is a software tool that runs simulations on open-pit mine scenarios to give you fast, accurate estimates of truck and loader productivities. Whether you work in mine feasibility assessment, mine operations or the management of contract mining, MineFED can save you time and money by highlighting cost-saving opportunities and increasing operational control.

How MineFED worksMineFED imports mine design data and combines it with project and reference information to produce detailed productivities, schedules and machine usage.

Instead of manually digitising haul routes and using bench centroids to calculate cycle times in various applications, utilities and/or complicated spreadsheets, MineFED provides you with the complete picture in a single application. And did we mention it’s fast AND accurate? Here’s why:

Get above averageMineFED uses all the available design data with block-by-block calculations to give more detail, instead of using an averaged single-point calculation.

With MineFED, a full estimate can be done on a mine Scenario in minutes providing detailed granular information for every material type in every block.

“A full re-estimation on an existing mine design used to take around 6 to 8 weeks. In MineFED the whole thing was done in about 3 hours – including options for multiple fleet setups.”

Forecast. Estimate. Deliver.

“MineFED provides the detail required to make key operational decisions for short-term gains and then immediately see any long-term effects on the project.”

What is the true impact of today’s decision?

MineFED helps to identify issues for early intervention

On-site decisions that appear to deliver benefits in the short term can often have serious long-term consequences.

MineFED provides in-depth data that lets Operations quickly assess “what-if” or actual situations in the field to make fully informed decisions.

MineFED benefits: fast, easy and consistent

Accurate and fast estimates MineFED’s intuitive, easy-to-use interface steps the user through each part of the project. Using a standard computer, a full detailed report for a medium-sized mine can be generated in under a minute, showing results for every material type in every block.

Easy “what-if” analysis Different criteria can be evaluated, or unplanned changes easily accommodated using MineFED Scenarios. What if a different fleet, or multiple fleet configurations are used? What if an alternate dumping strategy and/or mining sequence need to be applied? The process of assessing the implications of these and other conditions is made simple with MineFED.

Consistent, standardised practices Personalised and inconsistent estimating methodologies have become a thing of the past – MineFED introduces a standard estimation process within a single application.

Transparency & knowledge transfer MineFED uses data taken directly from leading industry mine planning software for hassle-free integration into your existing setup – the key assumptions and planning information for every estimate are then available to all areas of the business.

Performance management Estimates that can be used for long- and short-term (daily, weekly or monthly) operational targets are quickly produced, with easy analysis for managing performance. Results are suitable as targets for real time measurement and feedback systems.
