Dig deeper in mining with your digital twin
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the mining sector is embracing digital solutions to optimize operations, improve safety, and enhance overall efficiency. And digital twins have emerged as a game-changer in mining operations, providing a detailed, real-time view of a mine’s assets, resources, and workflows. Going a step further, the capabilities of digital twin technology have now been merged with AI-powered scheduling software that is specifically designed for mining operations.
Actenum DSO/Mine software goes beyond the capabilities of conventional scheduling tools by integrating additional data that are of interest with operations scheduling information, resulting in a comprehensive digital twin of your mining operations. It captures not only scheduling, with dates and resource activity assignments but also information related to your crucial areas of interest, such as production and cost forecasting.

Unlocking the potential of your digital twin
By capturing and presenting a comprehensive set of relevant information alongside the operations schedule, you can create a highly efficient operational model that allows you to explore various scenarios and evaluate the potential impact of operational or resource changes and their impact on your operations, capital budget, and more. For example, what would be the result of adding additional trucks to move tonnage from the production area to the processing facility? What would be the optimal size truck to add? Diesel or electric? What would be the expense involved and how would it really impact your operations and profit?
By enabling the evaluation of operations in a detailed and precise manner, this all-inclusive operational model provides you with improved process efficiency, increased throughput, reduced downtime, and enhanced resource management. Furthermore, the digital twin serves as a unified model for both present and potential operational conditions.
Real-time insights for optimal efficiency
Digital twin technology enables a fundamental shift in the way mining works. It delivers enhanced control over asset integrity, more efficient management of field personnel, identification of areas facing significant degradation, estimation of maintenance and inspection durations, and effective budget planning for these essential activities. With insights into these critical areas, DSO/Mine software allows you to make robust, informed decisions quickly, driving operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Collaboration and informed decision-making
One of the most significant benefits of DSO/Mine and its digital twin capabilities is the ability to provide a shared, real-time view of the mine that is accessible to multiple team members and stakeholders. With access to real-time information, your personnel can work together seamlessly, leveraging the digital twin’s capabilities to enhance collaboration and optimize operations.
From simulating the future to improving resource management, and enabling collaboration, DSO/Mine leverages the power of digital twin technology to reshape how mining operations are planned, executed, and optimized. Actenum DSO/Mine allows you to unlock new levels of efficiency, productivity, and safety, boosting profits and enhancing shareholder value.
