Can I use Tempo if I don’t use Minemax Scheduler?
Tempo integrates seamlessly with our Minemax Scheduler strategic mine planning software so you’ll be able to align your operational plan with your strategic plan. However, you can also use any other tools for strategic planning and Tempo will help you work out the operational details. And if you don’t have a strategic plan, Tempo will help you create a medium or long-term plan from scratch.
Where does Tempo fit into a typical mine planning workflow?
Tempo’s sweet spot is detailed open pit mine planning at the monthly level for anything from two years, up to your mine’s life.
Do I need Tempo if I’m the only mine planner at site?
Absolutely. Tempo is very versatile and can be used for all your open pit mine planning needs.
Can we use Tempo for monthly or weekly planning?
Yes, you can use Tempo to plan at a weekly level if you are mainly concerned with scheduling load and haul.
