QMASTOR - Innovative Bulk Material Software Solutions

QMASTOR is a leading technology company providing specialist software and services to the global mining, port, power generation and bulk commodity industries. The company is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:QML) and specialises in bulk commodity supply chain and quality management solutions.

Since 1987, QMASTOR systems have provided innovative solutions to empower clients to improve their operations and maximise profit through the efficient use of resources across the supply chain.

Mining software - supply chain management

Our flagship product, 'Pit to Port', is a mining supply chain management information system that tracks bulk material movements from geological model through to receipt of customer payment.

Pit to Port is a decision support system that enables management to plan, record, track, optimise, account, reconcile and report the tonnage, quality and value of bulk materials across the supply chain.  The system synchronises the operations, logistics, marketing and commercial functions providing a clear and transparent view of export and domestic supply chain operations.

Pit to Port offers a flexible modular design enabling users to customise the system to suit specific operational requirements. Pit to Port ensures the right bulk material, in the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost.

Our supply chain management product suite also contains additional systems, including: 'Pit to Plant' and 'Port to Plant' for domestic and import supply chain scenarios respectively, for a fit for purpose solution.

Mining software - stockpile management

SMS3D is an advanced management information system used in bulk material stockyards to track and visualise parcels of material in three-dimensional space. The system is used to track and dynamically model stockpile tonnage, grade and value in real time to enable proactive grade management and optimise process plant configuration, blend planning and reclamation/load planning.

SMS3D can be employed throughout the bulk materials supply chain wherever the need for highly accurate tracking of bulk minerals or commodities is present. For example, mine load-out, domestic and export product stockpiles, power station/smelter and port stockyards.

Bulk terminal management software

PortVu is an integrated bulk terminal management system that facilitates the management of bulk commodity ports and their supply chain. PortVu allows users to manage the complexities of inter-modal transportation, stockyards and vessels while ensuring equipment is scheduled and utilised effectively.

PortVu integrates the terminal operations with suppliers, customers, transport providers, agents, laboratories and other supply chain partners through the use of a common platform, providing a highly integrated and comprehensive terminal operating system.

PortVu can be interfaced to a bulk terminal control system to provide necessary information on stockpile positions for yard equipment instructions; task and route management; vessel load and hatch plans and belt weightometers for accurate data reconciliation and reporting.

Advanced planning and scheduling solution

Horizon is an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system that enables complex supply chains or components thereof to be modelled, planned and scheduled simply and efficiently.

A heuristics-based solving engine delivers optimal schedules and plans based upon site specific, business driven sets of strategies and weighted key performance indicators. Underlying the Horizon system is a commercial grade business rules engine which stores and manages all relevant operating procedures, preferences and business rules used in the schedule determination.

The system provides APS solutions for the fulfilment of export, import and domestic bulk commodity demand; shipping and berth scheduling; bulk terminal stockyards; transportation (including rail, truck and barge); mine product stockyards and process plants (such as Wash plants, Crushers and OBP).

Mining systems integration

IFuse is a specialist data integration system that facilitates automated connection, extraction, transformation, validation, import and export of data between mining, enterprise and supply chain systems.

The system operates as a centralised data portal to bridge disparate business, operations and supply chain systems together and ensures data is clean, consistent, timely and error free.

Often complimentary to QMASTOR’s bulk commodity management systems, iFuse can be used to automatically integrate data across a broad range of systems including: exploration databases, geological models and mine planning, blasting, truck dispatch, SCADA, railways, ports, laboratory analysis, weighbridges, weightometers, on-line analysers and corporate ERP systems.
