MINING

From pit to plant, every haul in sequence.

Every idle truck is ore left in the ground.

In open-pit and underground operations, idle haul trucks and uncoordinated extraction sequences cost more per hour than almost any other inefficiency. Our solutions manage dispatch, loading sequences, and shift planning to maximise throughput, fully autonomously.

The challenge

The pit never stops. The scheduler should be the same.

01

Haul Truck Idling

Trucks queuing at shovels, waiting at dumps, or travelling empty are profit leaving the pit. Manual dispatchers track too few variables too slowly to eliminate these gaps at scale.

02

Extraction Sequencing

Shovel positions, ore grades, bench access, and blast schedules form a sequencing problem too complex for rule-based planners. Static priorities can't adapt to the pit as it changes through the shift.

03

Shift Handover Gaps

Shift changes are among the most disruptive events in mining. Manual coordination leads to delayed starts, mis-allocated equipment, and lost production in the first hour of every new crew.

How Polaris works

A system that treats the entire operation as one optimisation problem.

Our solutions maintain a live overview of the current operations, monitoring tasks and performance against any target required, ensuring the most efficient execution at every moment, under any circumstances.

When anything breaks or stops, our systems replan, reschedule and ensure process continuity, without any operational stalling or waiting for a dispatcher.

Capabilities

From shovel to crusher, every cycle optimised.

Dynamic Routing

Dynamic assignment of vehicles and assets, based on real-time operational status, targets, asset availability and traffic.

Extraction Sequencing

Managing asset movements and production prioritisation that maximises throughput, while respecting schedules, constraints and downstream requirements.

Shift Scheduling

Through automated crew and equipment allocation across shifts, our systems minimise handovers, leading to more stable operations.

Autonomous Execution

Fully automated vehicles and processes ensure overall increased safety, removing operators from dangerous areas and monotonous processes that are prone to risk, while also increasing overall efficiency.
