OPDS is the company’s fifth new commodity based scheduling solution and follows the recent releases of XPAC Solution for open pit metals, open cut coal and underground coal and oil sands.
The new solution uses a standard, process driven interface to make planning activities easier to control and cost effective to maintain. It integrates with XERAS for Enterprise, RPM’s enterprise financial modeling platform.
RPM Software vice president Craig Halliday said: "Streamlining the entire mine scheduling process from geology to scheduling and haulage underpinned by our industry leading scheduling solution, XPAC, in a script free environment is a game changer."
OPDS is claimed to help taking more control over the details of the extraction schedule. The user can select which materials and equipment to manually manipulate, work with any subsection of their plan and create a precise schedule.
