Roy Hill Iron Ore (RHIO) has awraded a contract to SolveIT Software to provide mine-to-port demand chain simulation services.

Under the contract, SolveIT Software will supply APS and SCNO applications which will be configured for simulating the Roy Hill operations and associated outbound supply chain, including mine, rail and port.

Roy Hill Demand Chain General Manager Mike Lomman said, "We are developing sophisticated remote operations and autonomy operating models to help drive efficiencies and scalability required to maximise the value of the asset and SolveIT Software’s approach fits well with this model".

SolveIT Software Director of Natural Resources James Balzary said, "Our ability to simulate prior to first ore production then migrate the same simulation and optimisation model to production planning & scheduling use is being very well received by the mining community."

SolveIT Software’s integrated application suite as well as consulting services will jointly generate robust simulations for the demand chain.
