ATS Loader Types

Every project must have at least one loader type, which is used to calculate cycle times and production rates. 

To add a loader type:

  • Press the green plus icon to add a new loader.
  • Availability Types convert calendar time to engine hours and direct scheduling hours. 
  • Loader Cycle Time Factor Field factors the loader rate by a value from the block model. 
  • Adjust Loader Cycle Time Factor by Time introduces a new row in the calendar, to factor the loader rate by period.
  • Use as Agent creates a 1:1 mapping between an Agent and a Loader. Refer to ATS Haul Infinity Inputs for more information.

For information on the 'Enforce Matched Rates' option, see ATS Production Rates.

Loader definitions must be present in Haul Infinity in order for the scheduler to reference them.
