SimulatOre is Epiroc's enterprise product suite for simulation, production optimization, and predictive modelling — engineered for the world's most demanding mining operations. Model your entire value chain, eliminate bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.
SimulatOre brings together three powerful disciplines — simulation, mathematical optimization, and predictive modelling — in a single integrated platform built for the mining industry.
Model every piece of equipment, every worker, and every material flow as an autonomous agent. Simulate complex interactions between fleets, haul routes, loading points, and processing facilities under realistic operating conditions — before committing to change on the ground.
Apply mathematical programming and operations research to maximize ore throughput, minimize operational costs, and optimize scheduling across the full mining value chain. From blast sequencing to crusher scheduling, find the truly optimal solution — not just a good guess.
Leverage machine learning and statistical modelling to forecast equipment health, ore grades, production rates, and cycle times. Move from reactive maintenance to proactive intervention, reducing unplanned downtime and improving reliability across your operation.
Build topological representations of your mine infrastructure using vertices, arcs, and commodity constraints. Model underground development networks, surface haul road systems, and conveyor networks to analyze capacity, congestion, and optimal routing.
Create a living, data-connected digital replica of your mine. Synchronize real-time operational data with your simulation models to continuously validate performance, test what-if scenarios, and quantify the impact of operational decisions before implementation.
Built for teams. SimulatOre provides role-based access control, multi-team project organization, shared datasets, and a web-based interface accessible from anywhere. Engineers, planners, and managers collaborate in a single source of truth — no desktop software needed.
SimulatOre is designed to integrate with your existing operational workflows. Get from raw data to actionable insight quickly, without specialist modelling expertise.
Upload or connect operational datasets — fleet telematics, survey data, production logs, geological models — and structure them for modelling.
Define agents, network topology, activity types, and constraints using the intuitive SimulatOre model builder. No coding required.
Execute simulations, apply optimization solvers, and run predictive models. Compare scenarios side-by-side to identify optimal operating strategies.
Export results, visualize outputs, and integrate findings into planning cycles. Drive measurable improvement in throughput, cost, and safety.
Traditional mine planning relies on spreadsheet averages and rules of thumb. SimulatOre replaces guesswork with high-fidelity agent-based and discrete event simulation, capturing the stochastic nature of real mining operations — equipment variability, weather, shift patterns, and downstream bottlenecks.
SimulatOre integrates mathematical optimization solvers directly into simulation workflows via webhooks and API. Define your objective function — maximize throughput, minimize cost, balance fleet utilization — and let the solver find provably optimal solutions constrained by your operational realities.
Mine operations generate vast quantities of data. SimulatOre turns that data into forward-looking intelligence. Statistical and machine learning models trained on your historical operational data forecast failures, production shortfalls, and grade variability — enabling proactive intervention rather than costly reaction.
SimulatOre has been applied across underground and surface mining operations spanning multiple commodities and geographies.
Determine optimal truck fleet size, dispatch strategies, and haul road configurations to maximize tonnes moved per hour while minimizing fuel and tyre costs.
Simulate heading development sequences, vent requirements, and equipment interactions in confined underground environments to identify critical path bottlenecks.
Model crusher throughput, screening efficiency, and stockpile management to optimize feed scheduling and prevent costly stoppages in processing circuits.
Optimize blast sequencing, drill pattern design, and powder factor across multiple drill rigs to maximize fragmentation quality and downstream mill performance.
Build shift schedules that match workforce and equipment availability to production demand, accounting for maintenance windows, statutory requirements, and fatigue management.
Quantify the production and cost impact of capital investments — new shafts, conveyors, automation systems — through simulation-based scenario analysis before committing capital.
Everything you need to know about SimulatOre — the simulation, optimization, and predictive modelling platform from Epiroc.
SimulatOre is Epiroc's integrated product suite for mine simulation, production optimization, and predictive modelling. It allows mining teams to build digital representations of their operations, run simulations, identify bottlenecks, optimize schedules, and forecast outcomes — all in a web-based collaborative platform.
SimulatOre supports agent-based simulation, discrete event simulation, network flow modelling, and activity-based sequencing. It handles underground and open-pit mining scenarios including haulage, blasting, drilling, loading, and material transport across the entire mining value chain.
SimulatOre integrates mathematical optimization solvers — including linear programming and mixed-integer programming — with simulation workflows. Users define objectives such as maximizing throughput or minimizing cost, apply operational constraints, and the platform finds provably optimal solutions for production schedules and resource allocations.
SimulatOre enables predictive modelling through machine learning and statistical methods applied to operational data. Teams can forecast equipment health and failures, production rates, ore quality, and cycle times — enabling proactive decision-making that reduces unplanned downtime and improves operational reliability.
No. SimulatOre is a fully web-based platform accessible from any modern browser. There is no software to install, no licenses to manage on individual machines, and no IT infrastructure to maintain. Teams collaborate in real-time from any location.
SimulatOre is used by mining engineers, production planners, technical service teams, and operational analysts at mining companies worldwide. It supports both single-site and multi-site operations across commodities including gold, copper, iron ore, lithium, and coal.
SimulatOre provides REST API endpoints and webhook-based optimization workflow integration, enabling connection to fleet management systems, mine planning tools, and enterprise data platforms. Data can also be uploaded directly via structured datasets.
Yes. SimulatOre is developed and maintained by Epiroc, a leading productivity partner for the mining and infrastructure industries. It is part of Epiroc's Digital Solutions portfolio, complementing its world-class drilling, loading, and rock excavation equipment with analytical intelligence.
