"Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time."

 

In this era where resources are becoming scarce and competition is ever increasing, leading businesses are using new and innovative ways to bring operational costs down in order to stay ahead of the pack. Gone are the days of trial mining, trial runs, trial......., trial......! Simulation and Optimisation technology will answer your trial questions and beyond for less money and time.

 

Using simulation and optimisation technology has many advantages and has become mandatory for leading companies when
performing due diligence studies of a new mine, process design or prior to changing current design or operational parameters.

 

Seamminex Simulations gives you the capability to:

 

• Evaluate potential alternatives to determine the best approach to optimising performance.

• Understand system performance based on key metrics such as costs, throughput, cycle times, equipment utilisation and resource availability.

• Reduce risk through rigorous simulation and testing of process changes before committing significant capital or resource expenditures.

• Determine the impact of uncertainty and variability on system performance.

• Run “what-if” scenarios to evaluate proposed process changes.

• Visualise the operation in 2D and 3D animation.

 

​

Some of the questions Seamminex Simulations helps to solve:

 

• Which alternative is best for my business?

• Is there a better way to perform this operation?

• Where are the inefficiencies in my operations?

• How realistic is my current schedule?

• What will be the impact of adding/reducing staff/equipment?

• How do we respond to an emergency/abnormal situation?

 

Advantages of Seamminex Simulations:

​

• Avoid costly mistakes.

• Study the behavior of a system on a computer without actually building it and disrupting operations.

• Allows experimentation of critical situations in a low-cost, low-risk environment.

• Results are accurate in general, compared to analytical model.

• Can be used to investigate situations that would be otherwise dangerous to perform in real life.

• Help to find unexpected phenomenon, behavior of the system.

• Eliminate excess capacity or expenditure through operational improvement.

• View the system operation to generate ideas for improving productivity.

• Use the model to test alternatives and select the best options.

• Understand the impact of a change before implementation.

• Evaluate the impact of assumptions on performance.

• Easy to perform “What-If” analysis.

• Enables the study of complex systems that would otherwise be difficult to investigate.

• Enables the compression of time frame. See what will happen several years to come in minutes!!

• Can be used when uncertainty is high due to sparse data.

• Increase throughput by eliminating bottlenecks.

• Optimise equipment fleet.

• High return on investment.

• Incorporate randomness (most systems contain random components i.e. equipment failures and load times)
