Real-Time Blend Sequence Management: Ensuring Optimal Material Mix
Optimize the Blend Sequence
Each morning, operators receive a blend plan that outlines the exact sequence for material loading. The wheel loader can go to the exact location of the ore blend and pick in the exact sequence as per the blend plan.
- The software ensures the correct mix of raw materials, achieving the desired ore quality.
- Operators receive immediate instructions, reducing the risk of errors.
- Accurate Blending
- Real time guidance
Ensuring Compliance with the Blend Plan

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ROM pad?
A ROM pad is a storage area where raw materials are grouped together. It typically includes low, medium, and high-grade materials stored in different blocks within the ROM pad.
What type of vehicle does this software apply to?
The software is designed for use with wheel loaders, a type of vehicle used in mining operations.
How does the software help with knowing the blend sequence?
At the start of each shift, the operator receives a blend plan. This plan outlines the proper sequence of raw materials to be prepared, such as which bucket to pick from specific blocks. For example, the plan may require one bucket from HG01 followed by two buckets from LG03. The sequence is formulated based on the feed quality, and the plan is adjusted accordingly.
Can the software track if the operator is following the blend sequence?
Yes, the software tracks whether the operator is following the blend sequence. If the operator picks material from the wrong spot, an alert is sent, notifying them that they are not following the blend plan.
How does the software track the amount of payload going into the crusher?
The software tracks the amount of material being loaded from the bucket into the crusher. This allows for accurate tracking of the payload entering the crusher, which is typically difficult to monitor manually.
Does the software help with stockpile management?
Yes, the software keeps track of stockpile balances. When material is moved from the stockpile to the crusher, the software automatically deducts it from the stockpile. This ensures accurate and efficient stockpile management.
How does the software ensure the correct sequence of bucket loads according to the blend plan?
Each time the wheel loader picks up material from a block, the software helps the operator track if they’ve picked from the correct block according to the blend plan. It also guides them on which block to pick from next.
What is the Time Utilization Model (TAM) and how does it help?
