Mining

Mining

Mine to market optimisation software to maximise value chain efficiencies across all time horizons

Multi-mine

Develop plans that handle multiple mines with shared resources

Pit to port

Develop plans that consider and react to the entire supply chain from pit to port

Resource agnostic

BOLT is able to handle any mined resource with any attributes

Holistic Planning

Mathematically optimise across all aspects of the mining value chain to efficiently plan the movement of material from supply to demand whilst maximising margins.

Mining Digital Twin

Model complex multi-mine value chains to codify operating rules, costs and constraints to explore the impacts of various scenarios on the system.

Mining Value Chain

BOLT produces optimal plans to inform decisions across all stages of the mining value chain from the mine to market.

BOLT is able to generate plans to include multiple source locations while considering individual mine operational constraints.

BOLT Considers:

Mine block scheduling (given uncovery windows)
Mining equipment scheduling
Truck allocation (given availability and cycle timings)

Refining & Processing

BOLT takes the guesswork out of deciding the best refining & processing strategies for a supply chain. Using the latest in industrial mathematics, BOLT ensures the optimally best plan to maximise profits to meet any business demands.

BOLT Considers:

Set points & operating modes (e.g. specific gravity)
Block selection for blending into plant
Processing plant campaigns
Bypass
Reject constraints
Processing plant sizing

Logistic Scheduling

BOLT ensures that material is moved efficiently across networks as well as assist in any infrastructure planning considerations.

BOLT Considers:

Blending into single cargoes
Trains scheduling
Multi-modal logistics (trucks, trains, conveyor, etc)
Material selection and loading times
TLO capacity
Route capacity
Fleet allocation & sizing

Stockpiling & Blending

BOLT works hard to maximise profits across all of the available products in a mine. It is able to effectively manage any stockpiling & blending decisions that take into account timing and final product constraints.

BOLT Considers:

ROM / clean / terminal stockpiling decisions
Material allocation from multiple sources
Cargo assembly / dedicated
FIFO / LIFO stockpiling decisions
Third party blending
Match blending targets

Port Operations

Poorly managing vessels and port operations run the risk of accruing demurrage and impacting production throughput. BOLT effortlessly handles complex constraints and develops plans to help manage these risks.

BOLT Considers:

Vessel LAYCANS
Demurrage minimisation
Port capacities

Marketing

Ensuring that all contractual obligations are met whilst operating in the most efficient manner is complex. BOLT develops plans that meet these marketing demands whilst considering surplus and uncommitted resources.

BOLT Considers:

Contract selection
Uncommitted sales / demand modelling
Bonus / penalties

Mining

BOLT is able to generate plans across multiple source locations while considering individual pit operational constraints.

Refining & Processing

BOLT takes the guesswork out of deciding the best refining & processing strategies for a supply chain. Using the latest in industrial mathematics, BOLT ensures the optimally best plan to maximise profits to meet any business demands.

Logistic Scheduling

BOLT ensures that your minerals are moved efficiently across networks as well as assist in any infrastructure planning considerations.

Stockpiling & Blending

BOLT works hard to maximise profits across all of the available products in a mine. It is able to effectively manage any stockpiling & blending decisions that take into account timing and final product constraints.

Port Operations

Poorly managing vessels and port operations run the risk of blowing out costs and valuable company resources. BOLT effortlessly handles complex constraints and develops plans to help easily manage these risks.

Marketing

Ensuring that all contractual obligations are met whilst operating in the most efficient manner is complex. BOLT develops plans that meet these marketing demands whilst considering surplus and uncommitted resources.
