Devex’ focus is the supply of the best management and optimization tools for accessing our natural resources in a sustaintable and profitable fashion, always complying with the highest standards of ethics, social responsibility, transparency and safety.
 As for most natural resources industries, the key for a successful mining operation is the continuous, pro-active management of costs, risks and uncertainties, ensuring timely delivery of the products within the specifications established by the customers. Hence, Devex responds to the daily challenges of the mining industry through establishing a partnership with its clients and focusing on the conversion of operational information into intelligence for managerial decision-making. The end-product is not only a comprehensive visibility environment for the entire mine value chain, but also a practical mechanism to allow process optimization and market-oriented mine production scheduling.


Our clients are the mining companies. Companies that extract natural resources like iron, gold, diamonds, etc. Our clients are international players as Vale, Kinross, AngloGold, Yamana.

Our audience for this specific demand are employers and corporate of mining sector. This image will be used at our product brochure.

Our system optimize the allocation of equipment in mine operations (loading trucks with ore/others and unloading this material), instructing the best place to send the trucks (taking into account distance, number of existing equipment, production goals, quality others). These decisions are very complex with many variables, specially when you have a large amount of equipment, becomes humanly impossible to make the best decision. Our system uses advanced and precise calculations to determinate witch is the best decision.
We want to develop an image that illustrates the optimization of our system. The idea is to create an explanatory framework of the number of decisions that a person would need to be able to assess in this operation in order to optimize it, and compare a simple scenario (with very little equipment and points of loading and unloading, with a real scenario of mine operation) showing that would be impossible for one person to do this without the help of optimization system.
The attached images can helps (it's the schematic explanation of this comparative scenarios and one more close to what we need / also have icons that we already have and can be used as base for this development)
We want something more real (with icons from the truck, loader, piles of ore and the ways in which the trucks moves), like in a real mine and not as a draw.
