MineSched 2021 Refresh 2
Highlights of MineSched 2021 Refresh 2, released in June 2021, include:
Enhancements:
A new Standard Reports option has been added to allow key precedence rule reports to be created for underground scenarios. These reports will allow for a seamless transition to DELMIA Short Term Planning solutions for underground operations.
Once the short-term plans have been implemented, Production and Development progress updates can automatically be made to the most recent MineSched scenario via command line. This will ensure that when the next Tactical mine plan is created, the development and production locations will be spatially correct.
Stability Improvements:
- Improvements have been made to MineSched performance when using a high-resolution monitor, or text scale greater than 100%, allowing MineSched to be used more effectively with the latest laptops and monitors.
- In Russian and Chinese OS environment, the translation of the headers of Production Detailed, Production Summary and Material Movement reports remains in Russian and Chinese language during schedule, enabling our users from these regions to understand the context more efficiently.
- Users can now choose the help content Language in Russian or English from the settings tab.
- The Graphical Sequencer process has been improved when greater than 20 polygons exist in a location, decreasing the time required to set up a schedule when managing a large number of Polygons for a Location.
- Improvements have been made to ensure that the curved heading will be included in the Solid Profile. This allows Volume and Length to be correctly evaluated.
- Users can now view the list of Bookmark Workspace in the Collaborative Space for all available tenants accurately.
- We can now retain pinned scenarios even after restarting MineSched, enabling our users to ensure that the scenario would remain at the top of the list.
- When custom reports are prepared, the following details are displayed in the .csv file for all activities:
- Location column data for all Report type options.
- Poly_D1, Polygon, and Solid column data for Report type option Detailed.
- The reports generated are more detailed and helps our user for better analysis on different prospects around Mining Activities.
- The “Save As” functionality updates the correct relative path in the Scenario, which ensure that the user does not have to update the path manually, ensuring flexible use of functionality.
- The change in Location name is now updated correctly in different tabs, so the user does not have to manually refresh to ensure that new Location name is reflected.
