Program

According to the positive experiences of the last event this meeting will be structured as well in two parts.

The first day (Thursday, January 26th, 2006) will focus on general information about Surpac. These information should help the user to get an overview on the current capabilities of Surpac Vision and also to get informed about future developments planned by Surpac. Besides that it is quite important to us to give the participants the possibilitiy to put request on inprovements directly to those responsible for the development. Persons thinking about an application of a mining-planning-tool in their company will find here comprehensive information about the capabilities and advantages of Surpac. Due to particular interest of several users a special focus will be put on the software "SiroVision", which supports photogrammetry surveying of quarries and benches and covers the advantages of rapid surveying with the indepth-information of a 3D-picture.
The main issues of the program are:

  • Presentation of Surpac-Mines and their products
  • Presentation of the neweset developments and future strategies of the development (current version Surpac Vision 5.1 and aoutlook for the next version 5.2 which is expected to be released soon)
  • Presentation of SiroVision
  • Brieve Presentation of the activities of mine-it with a particular focus on enbedding and applying Surpac in the area of data management.

The second day (Friday, January 27th, 2006) is organized as a workshop, with practical application of Surpac. According to requests of our clients this workshop will cover "typical" steps of a mine planning process, executed by means of a simple example. Particular topics of this course are data import, creating surfaces, open pit planning, volum calculations and deposit modelling. The goal of the workshop is to cover the essential functions of Surpac, but also to provide tips and tricks for the quick and efficient application of Surpac. Particular focus is put on aspects of "preparation" of the work (configuration of Surpac, preconditions on import data). as these aspects are particularily important for worry-free working..
