Tucson-based Mintec officially launched its Version 4.0 of its MineSight Schedule Optimizer (MSSO) mine scheduling software package on October 26. The statement said that chief among the enhancements is MSSO’s seamless integration with MineSight Haulage, plus its upgrade to 64-bit technology. Using Canvas for flowsheet design and “an attractive, new graphic user interface” (GUI), Version 4.0 now takes advantage of haulage data prepared by MSHaulage. MSSO imports destinations (lift, subzone, tonne/volume capacities, filling sequence) directly and automatically from MineSight Planning Database, plus equipment set and parameters (truck, shovel and delay time), cycle time, cycle distance, cycle path and fuel consumption.
