Haulsim provides an industry-specific hauling simulation solution, giving users the ability to accurately model, visualise and analyse every aspect of their mine haulage system.

It is effective for all mining projects regardless of commodity, mining method or phase in the mine cycle.

It gives an insight into the impact of changes to the mining haulage systems, with the aim of creating more confidence in future planning and design decisions.

Using Haulsim, information can be quickly quantified and reproduced.

RPM software director Craig Halliday said this year’s SME annual meeting was the perfect forum to launch Haulsim to the industry.

“The audience is very technically astute, so they will appreciate the impact this product will have on the mining industry,” he said.

With capital spend highly scrutinised across the industry, Haulsim offers miners a quick and easy way to model the impact of extra equipment and changes in haulage plans, without the cost of expanding their fleet.

Haulsim can provide more certainty around the cost of final changes and can assist in the final justification.

“Through the simulation process, Haulsim can even help miners find efficiencies in their current operational configuration through changes in their haulage plan, without the cost of expanding their fleet and without the need to spend any capital to test assumptions,” Halliday said.

Haulsim combines RPM’s 35 years of experience in mining simulation and knowledge of the hauling systems with powerful simulation technology from industry leader FlexSim.

FlexSim co-founder, president and CEO Bill Nordgren said the FlexSim product provided real benefits to many customers in many industry verticals where its simulation products were used.
