Quarry management is key to plant process optimization – It is a LafargeHolcim standard software tool for Quarry daily production scheduling (proportioning) such as:

• Blasthole sample data are interactively georeferenced
• Composition and qualities of blast piles are estimated
• Optimized load schedules calculation based on given quality targets (requirements) and corrective materials (optional)
• The quarry can be visualised in 2D and in 3D
• The application is distributed via the industrial application store “IA_Updater”
• Protected by internal LH license mechanism

• Quarry Master is lafargeHolcim in house built tool which ensures:
• Raw Materials quality limits are met, and quality is constant and homogeneous accross the process
• Consumption of additives (expensive) is within the desired range, and it allows for higher use of Alternative Raw Materials
• Management of complex raw mix compositions (eg managing environmentally deleterious minor elements)
• Minimize waste ratio, maximum utilization of resources from the quarry
• Long-term mining plan (calculated with QSO Expert) is followed
• Quarry operation cost optimization
• Intellectual property application tailored to the cement industry
