Introducing InTouchEPS

What is InTouchEPS?

InTouchEPS is a smart link to Enhanced Production Scheduler and replaces the previous version of this functionality (in version 12 and below, this facility was provided by EPS Viz).

InTouchEPS requires version 1.21.2079.0 of EPS (or higher) to be installed on the local machine. The application does not have to be running as your application will automatically launch the installed EPS version.

InTouchEPS allows you to:

Connect your sequenced 3D design data with your generated EPS schedule and visualize VR design segments and how they relate to individual EPS activities. Data selection can be performed in both the 3D window and EPS, 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.
Filter your data display automatically by filtering your EPS schedule.
Show EPS crosstab data, dynamically linked to your loaded 3D data and schedule.
Establish and/or modify dependencies between selected task using interactive 3D data selection. Activity links are fully configurable without having to leave the 3D environment.

Before you Start

There are some things you need to put in place before using InTouchEPS function and commands:

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 loaded into the 3D window, and the 3D window should be active.
Enhanced Product Scheduler should be running. EPS will be launched automatically by your application when a schedule is connected to your design/schedule data.
You have arranged your viewing windows to accommodate both applications - dual monitors are an ideal setup for this task.
