Micromine Alastri
About Micromine Alastri
Micromine Alastri is scheduling software engineered for complex open-pit hard rock mines. Known for speed, user-friendliness, and visual appeal, it models the realities of both operating and planned mines. It includes two key modules: Alastri Production Scheduler (long-term scheduling) and Alastri Tactical Scheduler (short-term tactical planning).
Alastri was acquired by Micromine in 2020. Barrick Gold's Veladero mine reported a 40% reduction in schedule creation times after implementation. It competes with RPMGlobal XPAC, Maptek Evolution, and Hexagon MinePlan Activity Scheduler in the open-pit scheduling space.

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.
