Ordo and Datamine have announced that they are partnering “to provide a next-generation shift planning and deployment solution for intelligent mining.” Ordo is supervisor-centric software modernising traditional shift planning processes through the creation of a digital shift plan incorporating complex interactions between tasks, equipment,and personnel.

Built with configurable and intuitive user-defined workflows, ORDO® is used in both open pit and underground operations. Ordo’s visual user interface enables supervisors to present and discuss the shift deployment and execution plan with the operations team –improving the speed and accuracy of allocating tasks, personnel,and equipment at the start of the shift along with handover at the end of the shift.

Last-minute and unplanned changes can be quickly agreed upon and an updated shift plan instantly created for execution. “This partnership complements Datamine’sexisting suite of technology used in operations. Ordo is a robust tool that stabilises and de-risks shift planning, allowing companies to efficiently plan and deploy the shift. Enhanced execution planning will ultimately lead to improved compliance to plan and overall betteroperational outcomes,” said Andrew Weynen, Ordo Product Manager.

“We’re excited to be working with Datamine to support improved shift planningand deployment, enabling supervisors to plan and execute their plan with confidence. It’s rewarding to provide a digital solution for this key role, since not only do supervisorsdirectly manage the majority of the workforce, but they alsoshoulder responsibility for on-the-ground delivery of company tactical plans,” said Ordo Director, Luke McGarry.
