Overview
Fleets configured in the Fleets setup step provide a means to switch between different Truck-and-Loader groups for given Times, Locations, Materials and Destinations.
Fleets Examples
Common examples of Fleets that can be used in the project:
Production and Rehandle fleet.
Autonomous and Operator fleet.
Ore and Waste fleet.
North and South fleet.
Heavy and Light fleet.
Upper and lower RLs fleet.
Adding Fleets
Fleets shown in blue are automatically added for the Loaders used as Agents. Specify the Loader-Truck pairing for each of them.
Add extra fleets, ie “Rehandle”, and assign the stockpile reclaiming loader and its truck pair.
Click the folder icon in the toolbar.
Rename new Fleet Assignment to something meaningful.
Left-click in the Loader-Truck Pairing field.
The Configure dialog will opens, where:
click the blue plus icon to add a loader,
select the loader(s) from the Loaders dropdown list,
select the truck(s) from the Trucks dropdown list,
click OK.
Notes
Each of the fleets configured here will become buckets of equipment hours. The Agent dips into this bucket every time it schedules a block, depleting the hours proportionally to the production rate.
A single Fleet may reference multiple diggers. In this case, the user specifies the order in which the diggers are depleted (if any).
A single Agent may reference multiple fleets. In this case, the user specifies which fleet to use in different situations (such as Ore/Waste, Crewed/Autonomous).
For example, some sites have a crusher bin that is too narrow for the largest trucks. They use a Crusher Fleet and an Earth Moving fleet; the Agent selects the fleet appropriate to the destination in each schedule transaction.
Fleets deplete equipment in the order that they are listed.
Fleets are triggered by Agents via the Steps Logic.
