Tempo Modules
The Tempo platform has a robust architecture that makes it extensible for many years to come. Each Tempo Edition can currently be extended with the Optimization Module. Tempo Enterprise can be extended with the Integration Services Module and Web-Based Reporting. Learn more about these modules below.
Optimization Module
The Optimization Module enables value-based schedules that align with business KPIs to be rapidly developed. Leveraging Minemax’s 14 years experience in optimized scheduling, the Optimization Module is tried, tested and fast. Some of the constraints which can be handled include:
- Fixed plant capacity constraints
- Mobile plant capacity constraints
- Blending constraints
- Product/Metal targets
The flexible financial model builder can include:
- Mining costs
- Processing costs
- Equipment costs
- Revenue from produced product
With the Optimization Module you can create an optimized schedule which respects constraints and optimizes according to business KPIs including:
- Net present value
- Alignment with higher level plan
The Optimization Module works with all editions of Tempo and is a recommended addition for any Tempo installation for mid-to-large-scale operations.
Integration Services Module
The Integration Services Module is a powerful enterprise integration engine that enables Tempo Enterprise to integrate easily with other applications such as inventory management, maintenance scheduling, dispatch, production monitoring, financial management, and existing planning software without the need for the Tempo graphical user interface. The Integration Services Module saves costs, enables faster and more effective responses, and delivers greater business insights by providing these benefits to your organization:
- Enables accurate and timely data to be used for scheduling, reducing inefficiencies and errors due to expensive manual or non-integrated import of data
- When integrated with production monitoring system, enables your organization to close the loop and perform timely and accurate "planned vs. actual" analysis
Web-Based Reporting Module
The Web-Based Reporting Module for Tempo Enterprise enables plans, plan updates, and plan compliance measurements, including inter-plan spatial alignment indices, to be shared effortlessly across the enterprise and accessed through a web browser. The technology base is SQL Server Reporting Services allowing easy addition of user defined reports.
