This topic refers to Studio OP v2.0 and EPS v3.0 or later versions of either product, both installed and licensed for use on the local machine.

 

Studio OP forges a strong link with Enhanced Production Scheduler (EPS), allowing you to schedule your blocks in either Studio OP, EPS or a combination of both.

 

This topic covers the functionality available in Studio OP to allow a controlled export of an existing schedule that can be further refined or simply viewed in EPS.

A connection toEPSallows you to:

  • Connect your sequenced 3D wireframe design data (e.g. as sequenced using Studio 5D Planner) with your generated EPS schedule and visualize 3D window design segments and how they relate to individual EPS activities. Data selection can be performed in both Studio OP and the standalone EPS application, dynamically updating the other window to show the results of your single or multiple item selection.

  • Generate and play back a schedule animation based on the contents of your current schedule document. More...

  • Filter your data display automatically in Studio OP, using EPS schedule task filtering commands. More...

  • Show EPS crosstab data in Studio OP , dynamically linked to your loaded 3D data and schedule. More...

  • Establish and/or modify dependencies between selected tasks using interactive 3D data selection and other ribbon functions. Activity links are fully configurable without having to leave the 3D environment. More...

Before you Start

There are a few things you need to put in place before you can start to make use of your EPS link:

  • An existing EPS schedule must be generated from your current data set. This means you will have completed your mine design up to and including setting dependencies and sequencing.

  • The sequenced data (e.g. sequenced wireframes representing underground workings and stope development) must be displayed in Studio OP.

  • Enhanced Product Scheduler should be running on the local system.

  • You have arranged your viewing windows to accommodate both applications - dual monitors are an ideal setup for this task.

  • EPS synchronization commands can be found on the dedicated EPS ribbon.
