DESIGNMine2-4D operates an advanced mine design system within a full 3D environment. Mine2-4D allows you to move around the design data, analyzing it from all angles in real-time. Available block models can be interrogated during the design stage. This allows economic criteria to be used in the design of production excavations.

 

ASSIMILATE Mine2-4D facilitates assimilation between the long and the short-term mine plans. As changes to the short-term plan are made, the long-term plan is continuously updated. This function also allows you to assess the impact of short-term changes to the plan over the long term.

 

INTEGRATE Integration of mining data results in centralization of that data. Mine2-4D automatically interrogates the geological block model and places the required information into a schedule. This eliminates the need for data collection, reducing errors associated with manual handling. If the block model grade changes, the information in the schedule automatically changes.
Mine2-4D also facilitates integration with other software systems using driver technology to “talk” to the raw data and directly import this into the system.

 

AUTOMATEMine2-4D has maximized the use of automated processes to eliminate many repetitive tasks normally associated with Mine Planning. This dramatically reduces the time associated with the production of mine plans, allowing the opportunity for scenario investigation and selection of the optimal mine plan.

 

COLLABORATECommunication is crucial to successfully implement the design and schedule information. Mine2-4D provides limitless options to present and distribute schedule information. Traditional sectional and plan plots are standard within the system; however, distributable, dynamically rotatable 3D animations are also incorporated into the system. Reports can be easily generated in the form of Spreadsheets (Cross-tabs), Animations and Gantt Charts.

 

RECONCILEMine2-4D has an extensive reconciliation system that facilitates the comparison between planned and actual excavations. It also maintains a running record of the mine’s production and development using the acquired survey information.
