GroundHog SIC is a state-of-the-art Mining Short Interval Control system designed to maximize sustainable mining intensity in both underground and open pit operations. It features user-centered design, controls production, schedules, tracks workforce, and provides insights to enhance process efficiency.
GroundHog SIC seamlessly integrates with other GroundHog products, including Fleet Management System, Real-Time Location Tracking, Telematics, IoT, and more. It also supports Open APIs for easy integration with third-party software like SAP, mine planning tools, HRMS, and maintenance management systems.
GroundHog SIC uses a Greedy Algorithm-based autoscheduler to automatically allocate equipment and personnel, optimizing utilization. Supervisors can also manually assign tasks using a drag-and-drop interface. Completed tasks are distributed to monitors, tablets, and smartphones, ensuring everyone knows their tasks and equipment locations.
Crew supervisors use GroundHog’s Line-up app to streamline line-up meetings, ensuring that all team members are informed and prepared for their tasks.
OpsCenter personnel or Dispatch monitor real-time production and adjust shift plans based on actuals reported through the SIC app or Fleet Management System. In the absence of an FMS, radio communications are used to update actuals.
Shift supervisors assess the reasons for downs or delays, evaluate their impact, and reassign equipment or operators as needed. Maintenance is notified with details and impact to quickly address equipment issues and minimize production disruptions.
Shift logs include KPIs such as advance rates, tonnes mined, material routing, and consumables. They also detail individual tasks, completion rates, variances, production losses, hazards, equipment exams, and workplace exams. These reports assist production planners and supervisors in making informed decisions for future shifts.
Implementing Underground Short Interval Control can significantly improve the safety, efficiency, and productivity of mining operations. By leveraging real-time data and fostering a culture of accountability and communication, SIC helps mining companies optimize their processes, leading to better outcomes in challenging underground environments.
