The solution uses its dynamic haulage functionality to manage the challenges faced by mine planners with regard to changing haulage routes in strip mines.
RPM CEO and managing director Richard Mathews said: “Our development team has basically completely rebuilt OCCS from the ground up, and as a result this new release of open cut coal will handle more data and process schedules faster than any other software application known to us in the market.
“OCCS’s Dynamic Haulage functionality is something unique.
"By considering the varying haul routes at each stage of the schedule mine planners can be confident that they have the optimal route to get their product from source to destination.”
