RungePincockMinarcos (RPM) Open Pit Metals XPAC Solution (OPMS) is a comprehensive, end-to-end
mine scheduling solution that delivers an evolution in open pit scheduling. Incorporating 45 years of
domain experience in an off the shelf, configurable solution, RPM has changed the scheduling paradigm
forever with a script-free environment that puts the power back into the hands of mine planners.
Ideal for budgeting and medium or long term scheduling, OPMS features a simple user interface with
the scheduling power of RPMs XPAC engine at its core.
OPMS tackles the complex challenges involved in mine scheduling by integrating each task
from geology to haulage planning and reporting. The result is a seamless, script-free
solution which is easy to use and quick to master.
With OPMS, you will spend less time managing data and more time using it to deliver
value to your operation.
Process driven
OPMS incorporates a streamlined process driven interface that is a product of RPMs 45 years of mining intelligence.
The interface guides users through a standardised set of tasks that quickly generate production forecasts.
Each step is fully configurable. Users have the flexibility and control to configure the software to reflect their
mines unique characteristics, allowing accurate and reliable schedules while ensuring robustness and
predictability are preserved.
Integrated Solution
OPMS integrates a number of applications into a seamless solution that streamlines the entire mine scheduling process,
from geology to final report.
Block model and mine design data is sourced directly from the general mining package to automatically generate
scheduling data with the appropriate resolution.
Integrate the mines haul network to allow the solution to consider the haulage implications for every material
movement whether evaluating alternative haul routes, selecting the most appropriate dump or preventing a
schedule from exceeding the available trucking resources.
Easily obtain and introduce a guidance schedule from the longer-term planning team and the start point from the
short term planners. OPMS is integrated across the planning horizons, as well as with supporting applications.
Dynamic synchronisation of data and user inputs are captured throughout streamlined interface, pre-populating
fields as you go.
The fully integrated process promotes standardisation across teams, departments and sites, giving auditable and
repeatable results for better project governance.
High quality 3D visualisation of the scheduling model is an integral part of each step in the process, giving a powerful way
to visualise and validate the data as you go. See what types of material have been placed in each dump, the haul route
chosen for each block or animations of pit development, dump construction and stockpile inventory changes.
With OPMSs geology integration, keeping schedules up to date with the latest geological information is easy and efficient.
Haulage Integration
Trucking represents one of the largest costs in open pit mining, OPMS takes its integration into the scheduling process
to an entirely new level. It determines the destination for every block that is mined, ensuring haulage is at the core of the
schedule, not an afterthought. Schedules generated are therefore achievable with the resources available.
Though the integration of haul route planning and the schedule, OPMS can:
Optimise the selection of destinations automatically.
Report truck requirements and the fuel needed for any possible scenario.
Validate routes out of the pit for every block as mining progresses.
Ensure the schedule does not exceed the truck hours available for each period.
Utilise back-dumping opportunities more effectively.
