Optimizing Pit to Port Logistics
A mining operator deployed Digital Twin for Supply Chain Optimization in Metals & Mining. rockwellautomation.com reports no complete outcome metric.
What the mining operator was trying to fix
Designing the most cost effective integrated solution that provides a robust system capable of delivering budget tonnages. An Arena Model was built to encompass all aspects of the production lines through loadout onto trucks to understand the areas of opportunity within the plant. The simulation reassured stakeholders that the goals planned were achievable. This fully outlined the requirements in the design to reach their desired throughputs.
What the mining operator deployed
Recognizing SMS as a leader in modelling and analytics technologies, the SMS team was engaged to review supply chain logistics to ensure target throughput levels could be achieved and proposed infrastructure was appropriately sized. Simulation modelling provides a means of understanding the likely performance of supply chains with complex interacting subsystems. Having developed numerous models of mining supply chains, SMS knew that the Arena simulation software was eminently suited to simulate and evaluate the supply chain operations. SMS worked with project stakeholders to review the propose
Results
The simulation reassured stakeholders that the goals planned were achievable. This fully outlined the requirements in the design to reach their desired throughputs.
