Maptek Evolution produces short-, medium-, long-term, and strategic life-of-mine schedules alongside practical production plans. It enables you to maximize the value of your deposit without compromising operations and without simplifying data. The Maptek enterprise-level scheduling solution optimizes NPV using cut-off grade techniques, a proven method for maximizing project value. Evolution also optimizes the haulage fleet to deliver cost savings early in the schedule. Your operation will benefit from multiple solutions run in parallel using high-performance cloud computing, with solutions ‘learning’ from each other to continually generate new, better solutions that solve real-world problems. Evolution delivers a seamless workflow from strategic to short-term scheduling using a single data source. Rapidly iterate scenarios that consider multiple objectives such as cut-off grade, production schedules, dynamic route allocation, haulage cycle times, waste dump allocation, etc.

SOT is the industry’s only strategic financial optimization tool for both surface and underground mines that maximizes productivity and profitability outcomes by optimizing the Net Present Value (NPV) of the mine schedule. As a comprehensive mine schedule optimization tool, SOT uses an evolutionary search algorithm to generate optimized schedules that maximize the NPV of any resource. SOT is purpose-built for scenario planning and comparisons. This allows mine planners to analyze multiple strategies and inform the selection of alternative, high-NPV schedules. Operations can extract more value from their resource with an NPV-optimized schedule, mitigating risk and decreasing the payback period. Custom heuristics and an evolutionary algorithm optimize the NPV. Identify robust, high-value schedules that drive strategic mine planning. Optimize for NPV, ore feed targets, profitability index, and many more metrics.
