How does idoba.sim help you to identify and mitigate bottlenecks underground?
Discover how mining engineers are using idoba.sim to quickly identify and mitigate bottlenecks in their underground haulage network.
What this video is about
So the first way that you can identify
bottlenecks is by just looking at the
insights having run a scenario. It'll
show you where your equipment has
productive time and where it doesn't
have productive time. So that's the
first way. If you see a loader that's
operating very little of its time
loading, clearly there's some issue. If
you see a truck that's constantly idling
empty, there's an issue with the truck
or where it's being allocated. So that's
the first way. Second way is by looking
at the 3D visualization we have. You can
start to watch the traffic interaction
and you can see where things are
bottlenecking. You can see where a
vehicle is getting stuck or held up a
lot or loaders are waiting a lot for
trucks. So you can see the cues and
those kind of things. And the final way
is you can actually compare two
different scenarios and try different
traffic rules or different locations of
mining or different allocations of
equipment and see what that impact has
on a bottleneck area and see if it
actually frees it up or makes it worse.
