|
| Mine Management System |
|
| MPX is modern production management database for mining operations that require
a central reliable solution for managing materials as they progress from the mine,
through production stockpiles and the mill and through shipping to the market. |
|
 |
MPX - Production |
|
| MPX is oriented toward capturing shift level data from open pit and underground mining operations and tracks the material by tonnes and grade through mining, stockpiles, crusher and processing. The system captures details of drilling (development, support and stoping), consumables, ground engaging tools, dayworks, weightometers, downtime and machine hours. It uses the schedule of rates to determine the standard cost of production. |
|
|
MPX - MetBalance |
|
MPX Metallurgical Balance System is designed to help process plant managers develop and maintain optimal plant efficiency - maximising product while minimising costs. MPX MetBalance tracks product, waste, raw material inputs, equipment availability and performance, operating conditions and efficiency of the material transformation process. MPX is a configurable solution that permits the addition of sampling points, measurables, variable definition and process changes without the need for programmer intervention.
|
|
|
MPX- Shipping |
|
Managing product from Mill to Port can be as vital as any of the materials management processes especially when dealing with multiple products, quality, size, purity, contaminants – all leading to stockpile and blending complexities.
Trucking data is entered directly into the database on a truckload by truckload basis. Tonnages can be entered by truck factor, by measured load weight or by axle weight. Load samples can be entered by analyte. The material type specifies what was moved and the source and destination stockpiles track where it was moved from and to. If moisture % is unknown it is set to a default value supplied from the installation table. Dry tonnes are calculated from wet tonnes.
