About
Mine study teams rarely run out of questions. They run out of time to answer them. Each new scenario means rebuilding the schedule, so the study direction gets set early and the options get tested late. Cognomine.com returns a practical open-pit plan in minutes. Pit selection, block scheduling and haulage are solved together, and the detail that usually gets stripped out stays in: drill and blast lag, digger separation and territories, slope constraints, waste dump capacity, monthly cadence. One credit covers unlimited runs on a block model for three months, so testing a processing route, a blending option or an extra deposit costs nothing more. In our own benchmark on a ten-year strategic plan, with the same orebody and constraints, Cognomine returned a plan in about 25 seconds on cloud GPUs. Google OR-Tools on CPU had not converged after 12 hours when we stopped it. Method and results are at cognomine.com/benchmarks. Hyphos (previously Hyperbridge), headquartered in Brisbane, is the company and engine behind Cognomine. Before co-founding it I spent 30 years in product and go-to-market leadership at Microsoft, Nokia, Metaswitch and JDSU across Asia Pacific.
