We follow a proven methodology across all simulations, scaling detail and intensity based on project needs.
If your simulation engagement moves into implementation, ABCON’s multidisciplinary teams are ready to support project delivery and monitor real-world results against simulation projections.
List with short descriptions:
- Strategic and Operational Option Analysis: Explore multiple pathways and identify the most viable options.
- NPV and Business Case Modelling: Financial modelling with sensitivity and risk analysis.
- Capital Investment Risk-Reward Analysis: Simulate fleet requirements, expansion options, and cost-risk profiles.
- Operational Efficiency Simulation: Test operational changes (e.g., load configurations, shift impacts) before implementation.
- Logistics and Inventory Simulation: Model supply chains, product flows, and inventory dynamics for maximum efficiency.
- Fleet and Route Optimisation: Optimise fleet sizes, deployment, and logistics routes.
- Material Flow Simulation: Simulate conveyor belts, stockpiles, screening and handling systems — all in immersive 3D.
Our industrial and mining engineers use advanced tools and proven techniques to help you navigate uncertainty.
From fleet ramp-up modelling to full plant simulations, we provide insights that unlock smarter decisions and better outcomes.
Every project path has unique risks and rewards.
Our decision tree and expected value analysis capabilities allow you to visualise outcomes, assign probabilities, and select options that best balance risk and return.
Fleet Optimisation:
Using our simulation tools, we help you model and optimise mining fleet configurations, ramp-up and ramp-down strategies for maximum efficiency.
Material Flow / Plant Simulation:
We build 3D simulations of material handling systems to model real-world flows through conveyors, stockpiles, screens, and other equipment — providing insight for design, expansion, or efficiency improvements.
At ABCON, we combine deep industry experience with leading-edge simulation tools and decision analysis frameworks.
Our focus is always on providing practical, actionable insights that improve project success rates, reduce risks, and maximise returns.
