Introduction

We are excited to introduce a powerful enhancement to our dozing model : the Subregion-Constrained Dozing Model for Accurate Material Distribution. This feature addresses the challenge of accurately allocating materials within stockpiles based on dozer actions while preventing contamination between subregions that may have distinct material quality requirements or characteristics.

What is the Subregion-Constrained Dozing Model

This functionality enhances the existing Dozing model by incorporating subregion constraints, allowing for precise material allocation based on dozer actions, and preventing cross-contamination between predefined subregions.

What is the Problem solved

The dozing model relies solely on GPS data and cannot differentiate between active material pushing and simple dozer movements. Consequently, it may inaccurately distributes grades within stockpiles, mixing materials from different subregions.

What is the Solution developed

Incorporate subregion constraints within the dozing model. This enhancement ensures that material redistribution is restricted to predefined subregions, preventing mixing between materials from different areas within a larger stockpile. This, in turn, leads to accurate grade segregation.

What is the Benefit

  • Enhanced Accuracy: The initiative significantly improves the accuracy of the dozer model, providing precise material distribution within subregions.

  • Informed Decision-Making: Geologists will benefit from the precise modeling of grade distribution, enabling them to make informed decisions and effectively manage resources.

Configuring Subregions

If your stockpiles have subregions or subzones with specific material quality requirements, these subregions should be configured within the application. Proper configuration helps isolate and increase control over each subregion.

Activating Subregion-Constrained Feature:

To avoid the dozing model from moving materials between subregions and to maintain the integrity of each subregion, activate the Subregion-Constrained Dozer Model feature. This ensures that materials remain within their designated subregions and dozer actions do not cause unwanted mixing.

Conclusion

The Subregion-Constrained Dozer Model represents a significant leap forward in material allocation accuracy within stockpiles, particularly when subregions or subzones are involved. By configuring subregions and activating this feature, you can ensure that materials remain where they should be, adhering to specific quality requirements. This enhancement empowers geologists, enabling them to make informed decisions and manage resources effectively, ultimately contributing to higher customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
