Product Updates - December 2025
We're excited to share this month’s product update, featuring enhanced functionalities in idoba.plan Version 1.3.0, as well as intuitive, new dashboards for our award winning simulation tool, idoba.sim.
Faster, Smarter Optimisation with idoba.plan Version 1.3.0
Our optimiser has undergone significant performance enhancements, resulting in faster processing and more effective solutions. Enjoy high-quality production plans in less time!
Here’s a closer look at what’s new.
Validate Your Value Chain Build Without Commitment
Introducing the new Save & Validate button, allowing you to check your draft value chain anytime without locking your model. Feel free to review, refine, and iterate while maintaining full flexibility. When you're ready to finalise your work and transition to scenario creation, the separate Save, Validate & Lock option is still available.
Build Clearer Value Chains
New components and icons make modelling your operations more intuitive and precise. You can now represent third-party material purchases, add granular material outputs, and visualise material movements with improved clarity, giving you the building blocks to model complex mining and processing workflows accurately.
Enhanced Production Planning Experience
We’ve addressed bugs related to UI caching, improved custom constraint updates and scenario copying, and implemented robust security enhancements, to ensure a smoother and more reliable planning experience.
Ready to experience these improvements? For fast, accurate production plans, dive into the latest release and experience idoba.plan live in action.
Unveiling New Dashboards for idoba.sim
We’ve made it even easier for you to interpret your simulation results in idoba.sim with two new dashboards accessible from the Simulation Report Menu.
Haulage Fleet Shift Summary Dashboard
This intuitive dashboard includes four-panels focused on material movement, fleet productivity, and haulage efficiency.
Panel 1 – Tonnes to Surface
Displays average tonnes hauled per truck and total tonnes moved (ore and waste) against target values, enabling quick performance assessments against shift objectives.Panel 2 – Cycle Time & Distance
Visualises cycle times and round-trip distances for completed haul cycles, helping identify variability in haulage efficiency.Panel 3 – Tonnes-Kilometres Moved (TKM)
Provides average TKMs per truck and total TKMs for the fleet per shift, which is essential for comparing haulage productivity across scenarios.Panel 4 – Time Utilisation
Highlights operational efficiency with a pie chart contrasting productive versus unproductive time across the fleet.
Loader Fleet Shift Summary Dashboard
Monitor your loader fleet performance efficiently with this dashboard, which helps assess loader resource effectiveness in relation to haulage performance and material flow constraints:
Panel 1 – Material Handling Distribution
Shows the proportion of time spent moving primary versus rehandled tonnes, helping identify potential inefficiencies in material flow.Panel 2 – Time Utilisation
Summarises productive versus unproductive time at the fleet level, pinpointing idle periods to support better coordination between loading and haulage activities.Panel 3 – Production Summary (Text View)
Offers a concise summary of total material moved, including the number of loaders used, total tonnes moved, and the number of loader buckets required, giving a quick quantitative snapshot of productivity.
