TALPAC-3D

TALPAC-3D investigates fleet options, builds fleets, and accurately forecasts future productivity for open pit mining operations. It is the modern evolution of RPMGlobal's legacy TALPAC product — originally released in 1979 and now updated with a game-inspired 3D user interface that makes fleet productivity modeling significantly more accessible.

TALPAC-3D calculates equipment productivity over operating hours, shifts, and years, including total cycle time components: travel, dump, spot, loading, and queue. It differs from HAULSIM in that it is a faster productivity calculation tool rather than a full discrete event simulator — making it the entry-level simulation product in RPMGlobal's Intelligent Simulation suite and a stepping stone toward HAULSIM's full DES capabilities.

The software targets mining engineers and planners who need rapid fleet productivity estimates for feasibility, budgeting, or operational benchmarking. It is particularly useful for early-stage project planning and for operations that do not require the complexity of a full DES model.
