Zone Group

Use the Pitram Zones tab to select a single zone or a Dispatch group to be displayed and configured for the Zone Group layer.

Zones are configured in the Pitram Reference Edit service. A zone is an area on site defined by a closed boundary. To identify the boundary of the zone, a polygon is digitised in Micromine Australia Pty Ltd (preferred) or some other third-party application. Each zone is defined in terms of a material type.

Zones are used to validate the movement of material between a source and a destination. The source, the destination, and the material moved must all have a material type that matches the zone. If there is any disparity, a warning is displayed on the Operator's Pitram Mobile screen. A similar warning message is issued to the Control Room Operator.

For example, if Zone_A is defined as: Material type = WASTE ExcludedEquipment = Production drills A warning will be given if: A truck allocated to an ORE LOCATION enters the zone. Mobile on board the truck should be configured with the attribute Operational Profile | CheckZoneForDump = 1 (true). With this enabled, a check is made that the material type carried by the truck is appropriate for that zone. A truck carrying ORE enters the zone. A production drill enters the zone.
