Dassault Systèmes is pleased to work with Whittle Consulting on promoting the release of GEOVIA WhittleTM and the “Advanced Simultaneous Optimization” capability (SIMO). Available as an optional module of GEOVIA Whittle, Advanced SIMO takes the mining industry standard Whittle strategic mine planning software to the next logical level.
Capitalizing on Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE Mine and its extensive portfolio of mining software, as well as Whittle Consulting’s reputation and experience in the area of Integrated Strategic Planning, the collaboration provides solutions such as cross-functional facilitation, sophisticated modeling techniques and optimization software to improve customer cash flow and NPV of a customer’s entire mining value chain.
“GEOVIA Whittle is world’s most trusted strategic mine planning software, particularly valued for its flexibility to handle complex inputs,” says Raoul Jacquand, GEOVIA CEO.
“It covers the complete strategic planning process from pit optimisation to life-of-mine scheduling. This solution, which reflects both Whittle Consulting’s expertise and Dassault Systèmes’ product research and development capabilities, has now been taken to the next level with the inclusion of SIMO. With the ability to schedule multiple mines (or multiple pits within the same mine) and multiple processing methods, mining companies now have a comprehensive reporting and new programming engine for faster optimization.”
GEOVIA Whittle’s Advanced SIMO features multi-mine integrated scheduling/cut-off/stockpiling, and expands into processing calibration. This opens new opportunities for collaboration between geology, mining, processing, marketing and finance to develop more effective business plans for mining projects or operations.
Whittle Consulting is assisting in the sale and implementation of the Standard and Advanced SIMO Modules – which have previously been considered advanced/specialized techniques – that are now available for mainstream use.
“This is the most significant release of strategic mine planning software in years,” says Gerald Whittle, Whittle Consulting’s CEO. “Whittle Consulting has refined the optimization engine behind SIMO and perfected its use by applying it to over 100 mining projects and operations over a ten-year period. This is stable, proven technology that generates outstanding results.”
Potential users and their management are encouraged to attend the two-day “Money Mining Seminar” run by Gerald Whittle to fully understand the possibilities of SIMO and the techniques that can make the most of its application.
