PS Final Configuration

Use

If ticked, automatically imports scheduling blocks into Haul Infinity

Assign Joins By Segment Name

If using Ramp locking function in Haul Infinity, check on “Assign Joins by Segment Name”

Calculation Timeout (s)

How long APS will wait for Haul Infinity to complete its calculations before giving up and returning control of the program to the user

Haulage Materials

Choice of Mutex Parcel Subset for representing payloads in Haul Infinity. Example: 26 material types may only need two payload quantities (ore, waste)

Destination Fill Sequencing Method

Option to use quickest <TravelTime> or shortest <Distance> in deciding which dump to fill first in the sequence

Quick Truck

Default truck to use for pathfinding calculations in Haul Infinity

Show TUM Graphs

Shows on the “TUM Trucks” graphs on the Gantt diagram

Show Instantaneous Graphs

Shows on the “Instantaneous Trucks“ graphs on the Gantt diagram

Specify Minimum Agent Operating Rates (Slows Scheduling Speed)

Unticked by default

Limit Maximum Trucks by Agent

Toggles logic to limit maximum amount of trucks by Agent

Limit Maximum Trucks by Rule

Toggles logic to limit maximum amount of trucks by Rule

Hatch Pattern

Select a pattern from dropdown to outline different settings

Time Format Large Label

Time format for Scenario time slider. Formatting options can be found here

Time Format Small Label

Time format for Scenario time slider. Formatting options can be found here

Do Nothing When No Sequence

Toggles whether a digger obeys the Equipment Rosters rules when it has no sequence (i.e. have crib breaks and shift change)

Blast Exclusion (m)

Blast Exclusion radius. Any Agent working within this radius of a block being blasted will stop for the duration of the blast window

Solver parameters

Solver

LPSolve is the default solver Alastri uses. If your setup has a third party solver integrated, select it here.

Server, User Name, Password

Enter relevant Server, User Name, and Password

Default Movement Cash ($/dt)

Incentive to keep digging (even if no other optimisation input is specified)

Agent Priority Cash ($/dt)

Controls how strictly the diggers adhere to the Agent Priorities in the Calendar

Destination Order Cash ($/dt)

Reward for honouring the list order of destinations in a destination rule

Destination Affinity Cash ($/dt)

Reward for continuing to send a reserve block to the same destination (instead of splitting it across stockpiles)

Mutex Fill Order Cash ($/dt) (-1 to disable)

Incentive to fill the largest stockpile in a mutex group (has the effect of minimising turnover time). Enter -1 to disable out-of-order filling entirely.

Stockpile Priority Cash

Incentive to reclaim stockpiles in order, when multiple stockpiles are added to a single Gantt sequence

Hours between new Stockpile Decisions (-1 to disable)

Time period before a Loader moves to another Stockpile. Reduces the times the optimiser will move a loader between stockpiles if has multiple options available. Enter -1 to disable function.

One Loader per Stockpile

When ticked, enforces a maximum of one loader to be active on a stockpile at a time

Remain on Stockpile Cash ($/dt)

Incentive for a loader to remain on the stockpile that it is already on

Disable Simultaneous Build/Reclaim

Will not allow a stockpile to build and reclaim at the same instant in time

Enable Single Chunk Stockpile AutoTurnover

Change a stockpile from build mode to reclaim mode based on the optimisation. This function only works when the stockpile is not part of a mutex set, there is only one chunk, and the stockpile can be both built and reclaimed.

Path

Path to a location shared by both schedulers

Refresh Seconds

Refresh time

Reports/Chrono

Setup items export to the Chrono reports

Export Key Column

Enable to export Key column to the Chrono report

Export Units Column

Enable to export Units column to the Chrono report

Product Feeds

Setup feed export for input to another schedule

Split on Period Boundary

By default, APS will export periods as defined by the calendar

Split on Breaks in Feed

Select this option to allow split on Breaks in Feed

Hours Between Splits

Export on smaller time periods than those setup in the schedule

Simultaneous charging will allow the explosive loading to start on a blast pattern before drilling has finished on that pattern. One of two options can be selected.

Percentage Buffer (-1 to use Quantity)

The percentage of the pattern to be drilled before loading can commence. Default is 100%, complete drilling before loading can commence.
If “-1” is set, the value in the Quantity Buffer field will be used.

Quantity Buffer (length) ( -1 to use Percentage)

The meterage advance of the drilling on the pattern to be drilled before loading can commence.
If “-1” is set, the value in the Percentage Buffer field will be used.

Memory Increase Before Garbage Collect (MB)

Point at which schedule stops to clean up memory
