mineMARKUP Development Team Performing Underground Testing

For the past two weeks, the mineMARKUP development team has been underground (some for the first time) at Garson Mine, Sudbury. Up until now, the mineMARKUP tool, which provides the mine with accurate design to actual survey capabilities, was tested in the office of GijimaAst Americas. It has now been brought into the hostile mining environment where the hardware and software is being put through rigorous testing.

GijimaAst has just commenced the implementation of a scheduling solution at Australia's largest underground operation. The project started with the implementation of a short-term scheduling solution using EPS and mineCAD. Over the coming months, medium and long-term solutions will be implemented using EPS and Mine2-4D. On a given week, this operation has up to 200 planned activities, which all interact with each other. Capturing these interactions in EPS will improve the accuracy and practicality of the weekly schedule.
