Ventilation on Demand Software

Benefits of ventilation on demand include:

1. Better air quality in active areas
2. Higher production capacity for a given ventilation infrastructure
3. Lower energy costs for a given production level

Optimized Mine Ventilation On Demand (OMVOD) by Simsmart Technologies Inc. is a suite of software products and engineering services for staged implementation of ventilation on demand:

• Level 1: Auto-configured HMI for surface/remote manual control (fan on-off or VFD speed setpoint, Regulator/damper % opening,
• Door open / close or % opening)
• Level 2: Modes of operation and scheduling (on demand, time based, signal trigger,i.e.: pre-blast, post-blast, shift start, high gas concentration)
• Level 3: Surface/remote auto flow, gas concentration.and temperature control (damper, regulator or fan modulation from model flow calculation or from physical flow measurement)
• Level 4: VOD (zone in/out gates coverage to full tracking coverage)
• Level 5: Air flow distribution and surface fans energy optimization
