More studies from the same team
Skilled mining engineers are scarce, and work gets deferred or turned down when it can't be staffed. Cognomine returns a practical plan in minutes on your client's block model, so the same team can take on more studies and give each client a set of scenarios and trade-offs instead of a single answer.
Now in use at an ASX-listed mining company.
Where the time goes
Capacity.
The binding constraint is people. Every schedule your engineers rebuild by hand is a study you can't take on.
The late extra case.
The client asks for one more price deck or a delayed plant two weeks before delivery, and each case means another full pass.
Client data.
The model belongs to the client, and their security team wants to know where it goes before anyone uploads it.
What changes
The client's model goes in, your team runs the scenarios, the client sees the results.
Kept in Australia, encrypted, isolated to your account, removed within 30 days after your entitlement ends.
You plus up to two more people from your team on the model. Plans in minutes.
Read-only, with as many client contacts as you need. Nobody you share with has to buy anything.
Faster passes.
A practical plan in minutes, with the operating constraints held in the solve, so the late extra case is a re-run.
More to hand over.
Pit selection, schedule and haulage in one pass, with constraint diagnostics on every run. The client sees the trade-offs as well as the recommendation.
Built for client models.
- Kept in Australia
- Encrypted in transit and at rest
- Logically isolated to your account
- Removed within 30 days after your entitlement ends
- If the client's security team wants to review our controls first, we'll support that review.
Your engineers.
Your team spends its time on the decisions that matter for the site, not the mechanics of getting a feasible schedule.
Proof
Many planners we've spoken with told us they have never seen another tool handle this many constraints and still return a plan this quickly.
On a ten-year strategic plan, Cognomine returned a plan in minutes. Google OR-Tools, on the same orebody and constraint set, was stopped unconverged at 12 hours.
Hosted on Microsoft Azure in Australia. Your data is logically isolated to your account and removed within 30 days after your entitlement ends.
What it costs
A fixed cost you can price into the proposal.
One credit covers one client model with unlimited runs for 3 or 12 months, for you and up to two colleagues. The price is published, so it goes into your quote before you call us. We invoice against a quotation. 5-credit bundles for firms running several studies; larger volumes by quote. At the beta price: A$11,700 per credit for 3 months, or A$35,100 for a 5-credit bundle, plus GST.
More scenarios for the same fee.
An extra case is a re-run, not a rebuild, so you fit more cases inside a fixed fee and free capacity for more engagements.
Nothing for the client to buy.
Clients see results read-only at no cost. Your firm's first purchase has a 7-day money-back guarantee.
