Deswik.Planning
About Deswik.Planning
Deswik.Planning is a mine scheduling platform particularly strong in underground operations. Built on a scheduling engine that handles both long-term and short-term planning horizons, it dynamically links mine designs to schedules, enabling rapid scenario analysis and re-planning without switching between tools.
The ability to unify strategic and tactical planning within a single environment is a key differentiator. The platform competes with RPMGlobal's XPAC and MinePlanner, Maptek Evolution, and Hexagon MinePlan Schedule Optimizer. Deswik.Planning was formerly known as Deswik.Sched.

Carlson Mining
by Carlson Software
Carlson Mining is an AutoCAD-based (and IntelliCAD-compatible) engineering and design suite consisting of multiple modules: Carlson Geology (stratigraphic and block modelling), Surface Mining (pit design, scheduling), Underground Mining (mine projections, ventilation), Basic Mining (drillhole entry, fence diagrams, mapping), and Natural Regrade (reclamation back to natural landforms).
Deswik.APEX
by Deswik
Originally developed by Polymathian (acquired by Sandvik in February 2023), APEX applies advanced mathematical optimisation to determine the optimal strategic plan for underground mines. It addresses the challenge of scheduling tens of thousands of tasks over decades while satisfying complex constraints — ventilation, drilling capacity, hoist performance, and mill throughput.
Deswik.BOLT
by Deswik
BOLT provides strategic optimisation across the entire surface mining value chain — from extraction through processing to market. Developed by Polymathian and now operating under the Deswik brand, it uses industrial mathematics to maximise NPV by making integrated decisions that consider the full material flow.
Deswik.NOVA
by Deswik
Deswik.NOVA is a unified open-pit planning platform combining mine scheduling, blending, and haulage optimisation in a single tool. It represents Deswik's latest generation of open-pit mine planning technology, extending the suite's traditionally strong underground capabilities into surface mining.
