Mipac has delivered key changes to TCard in version 3.11.0:
Enhanced Shutdown Management
The shutdown functionality has been completely overhauled to improve usability and flexibility. Customers can now configure TCard tasks to automatically appear or hide during shutdowns, aligning tasks with shutdown activities with minimal intervention. An improved user interface allows teams to create, edit, delete, and end shutdowns more efficiently.
The daily email and 24-hour report have also been updated to include only relevant information during shutdown periods, enabling teams to focus on the tasks planned for completion.
Task Board Improvements
To support the enhanced shutdown capabilities, the Task Board has been updated with a more scalable and performant approach. New features include the ability to view task boards from previous days and the introduction of a grace period to prevent task updates after a defined period.
Additionally, TCard priorities have been decoupled from shutdown behaviours, ensuring task management remains flexible and independent.
Usability and Stability
We remain committed to providing the best experience for our users. This release includes a range of bug fixes and enhancements aimed at improving stability and usability.
Notable updates include drag-and-drop functionality for operator uploads and improved filtering options in the task list.
Enhance operating practice in as little as 4 weeks
Discover TCard case studies
A North American gold processing plant reduced missed tasks and cut downtime by 30% by replacing whiteboards with real-time mining task management software. This case study shows how digital shift handovers improved accountability, visibility, and performance across 24/7 operations.
MIM had, and continues to use, an ERP within their operation but found it was too complicated for operators to use and was not suitable for managing operator tasks across crews in a 24/7 operation. While daily tasks were being well managed, irregular tasks were being missed, causing disruption when faults or blockages occurred. The lack of responsibility and automatic recurrence with the original task management system made monitoring these tasks difficult and would ultimately lead to disrupted production, downtime and additional costs.
