ISTS Tutorial Introduction
The following tutorial describes the process of a typical scheduling exercise using ISTS.
ISTS provides a range of tools for scheduling production using evaluated strings representing mining units
(blocks). These strings can also be generated by advancing a selected face (adjacent string segments) a set
distance, or advancing it to meet a target tonnage.
ISTS optimizes the production required from available blocks, mining faces or blasts over a number of shifts
or days, to meet current processing targets and tonnages. The output from ISTS can be used as input to
dispatch systems, ensuring that material is transported to the most appropriate location. Because ISTS
supports one-step, multi-period optimization, solutions over the required planning horizon are not
compromised by finding the best blend for the most immediate shift or days production.
Tools are provided for defining haul route networks, as well as haulage fleet and extractive machinery
inventories. Data can also be exchanged between ISTS, and machinery scheduling and truck dispatch
systems.
ISTS allows engineers to schedule and blend from mining blocks over one or more time periods, while
honoring operating constraints and production targets. A period may be as short as a shift, and the
mining block may represent a portion of a blast, an individual blast outline or a group of blasts or
extraction units.
Select and view results, and schedule them into the current time period, with access to standard
reports and graphs. Alternatively, export the results to EPS - CAE Mining's graphical scheduler - or a
reporting tool such as Mining Power Pack CAE Mining's reporting plugin for Excel.
ISTS is the solution for mines with short-term blending requirements from multiple production sources.
Simply define multiple processing methods and targets, and let ISTS determine the required material to
be taken from each available source to meet the day's production requirements. Rapid reporting and
feedback means that different options can be quickly assessed to obtain the best available result.
ISTS is the Studio 3 replacement for the functions covered in the Interactive Production Sequencing,
Face Advance and Achieve (blending) tools within Studio 2.

1. In the main menu, select View | Customization | Toolbars | ISTS Control.
2. In the main menu, select Applications | ISTS | Setup | Project Settings...
(Alternatively, click Project Settings...
in the ISTS Control toolbar, if it is displayed.)
3. In the Project Settings dialog, Select Data tab, Data group, select [_vb_panel_eval (table)] from the Block
Reserves: drop-down list - you'll see that it's the only option (ISTS automatically filters out data tables in memory
that don't match minimum requirements for a given option).
4. In the Block Outlines: drop-down list, select [_vb_2benches (strings)].
5. By the Mining Schedule: drop-down list, click New....
6. In the New Schedule Table dialog, type "Tutorial_sched" in the Name: box, and click OK. This automatically
creates an empty table in memory, with the expected data columns.
7. By the Dependencies: drop-down list, click New....
8. In the New Dependency Table dialog, type "Tutorial_dep" in the Name: box. Again, a new data object is created.
9. Leave the Project Settings dialog open.
Exercise: Viewing Field Treatment Settings
The Field Treatments tab in the Project Settings dialog allows you to choose whether any given field is Accumulated,
Copied or Weighted in any scheduling calculation - the default options for each field are usually correct.
1. In the Project Settings dialog, select theField Treatments tab.
To aid visualization, fields can be added from the Reserves file into the Outlines file by selecting the Annotate
check-box for the relevant field.
If the DPLUS and DMINUS fields exist in the reserves, they must be set to "Annotate" to allow them to be
used.
2. In the left-hand pane, click TONNES and confirm that Accumulated is selected in the Treatment group (note that
you cannot change this value)
3. In the left-hand pane, click VOLUME and confirm that Accumulated is selected in the Treatment group.
4. In the Project Settings dialog, click OK.
5. At this stage, ISTS creates more data objects in memory that are used later in the process so you will see the
Loaded Data bar update to show new items. Don't worry about them for now as their usage will be explained later
in the tutorial.
Mining units such as TONNES and VOLUME must be set to "Accumulated", in order to be used as activity rate
units.

Dump Design
Designing a dump in defined lifts, using a base string
Overview
This topic demonstrates the stages in creating a dump design from a base string. The design rises in lifts of a
defined height, and with the required slopes and berms. The dump modeling process consists of the following
steps:
1. Dump Design: creates a wireframe for each lift, based on the design parameters you specify.
2. Dump Evaluation: subdivides each Dump Lift wireframe into Dump Blocks, and calculates the volume
of each Dump Block.
3. Sequence the Dump Blocks: creates the sequence for the dump blocks.
