New 21.3 Release
Alastri is pleased to announce the release of v21.3.
Tactical Scheduler - Improvements
Long Term Stockpiles
Problem: It was not possible to store low grade material in a long term stockpile that you may or may not end up reclaiming.
Solution: ATS now has the ability to map a phase as a long term stockpile. This will result in the phase being added to the project as both a fillable destination, as well as a reclaimable source.
Import/Export Priority Incentive Block Sequence
Problem: Priority Incentive block sequences could not be exported from one project and imported into another.
Solution: Priority Incentive block sequences can now be imported and exported between projects.
Phase Adjacencies Enhancements
Problem: It was not possible to apply dependencies across stages. This may be desirable for projects containing either nested stages, or where there is a stage above another stage (but not nested inside it.
Solution: Phase Adjacencies setup task now has new columns, “Above Stages” and “Inner Stages”.
“Inner Stages” should be used where if there are nested pits A and B, where A is inside B, you would set A as an inner stage for B. In order to mine a block in B, you would need to mine a block in A that is at the same RL.
“Above Stages” should be used where there is a stage and above it there is another stage, but it is not nested inside. So if A is set to be an above stage of B, in order to mine a block in B, you would need to mine a block in A on the bench above.
Further, in the Between Benches and Drilling steps, there is an extra column called “Adjacent Phase Expand Distance”. If you specify a number here, it will be used as the expand distance for between phases. If you hit the X, it will instead use the value in expand column.
Chrono Report - Calculated Expression Enhancements
Problem: When referencing table rows using Calculated Expressions in Chrono reports, if part of the name of the row being referecenced changed for any reason (e.g. something had to be renamed at a certain level), this would break the Calculated Expressions, and all references to the row would need to be fixed.
Solution: It is now possible to use relative paths when using Calculated Expressions. This eliminates the need to update any rows being referenced when changes occur.
