Short Interval Control

The Operation Is Always Telling You Something.

Every mining operation generates signals when performance is beginning to drift. OTSI’s short interval control mining software helps teams identify production loss, bottlenecks and delays early enough to act while the shift can still be influenced.

The Performance Gap

Most Production Loss Is Visible. Just Not Soon Enough.

Your operation is constantly telling you where performance is beginning to slip.

But when emerging delays, bottlenecks and losses are only understood after the shift, the opportunity to influence the result has already passed.

SIC helps teams hear what the shift is telling them earlier, focus attention on recoverable loss and act while performance can still be influenced.

Without a consistent Short Interval process:

Emerging delays can remain hidden until recovery is difficult
Supervisors spend more time reacting than controlling the shift
Bottlenecks and queues can persist without clear intervention
Production loss is often understood after the operating window has closed
Shift handovers can lose the context behind what happened and why

What Short Interval Control Does

Turn the Shift into a Continuous Performance Control Loop.

Help teams understand what is changing, determine where intervention matters and maintain control throughout the shift.

Real-Time Performance Monitoring

Track production performance against plan throughout the shift so emerging deviation becomes visible when it can still be influenced.

Loss & Gain Quantification

Quantify where production is being gained or lost and focus attention on the issues with the greatest recoverable value.

Visual Performance Management

Give supervisors, dispatchers and operations leaders a shared view of current performance, priorities and emerging risk.

Delay & Bottleneck Detection

Surface recurring delays, queues, constraints and operating patterns that are affecting production performance.

Structured SIC Routines

Create a repeatable operating rhythm for reviewing performance, identifying priorities and coordinating intervention throughout the shift.

Operational Playbooks

Connect recurring operating conditions with defined response guidance, helping teams respond more consistently when familiar issues occur.

"The truck stops. The shovel waits. The crusher queue grows. SIC tells you before it's too late."

The case for in-shift control

Where SIC Delivers Value

From Seeing Production Loss to Understanding What Is Driving It.

Production Attribution

Connect performance variance to the operating conditions, delays and constraints contributing to the result.

Decision Latency

Understand how long it takes for an emerging issue to be recognized and acted on, helping expose where valuable response time is being lost.

Bottleneck & Constraint Visibility

See where queues, delays and operating constraints are limiting performance and where intervention can create the greatest value.

Shift-to-Shift Continuity

Preserve the operating context behind key events, interventions and unresolved issues so the next shift does not start from zero.

LIVE PERFORMANCE INTELLIGENCE

Every Metric, Every Cycle, In Real Time

Every truck cycle, shovel delay, and production deviation is visible the moment it occurs. The goal is not more data. It is knowing what deserves attention while there is still time to act.

Get Started

Don't Wait Until the Shift Is Over to Understand What Happened.

See where controllable production is being lost, focus attention where intervention matters and give your team more opportunity to influence the result before the operating window closes.
