Haulsim

Haulsim, from RPMGlobal, is a specialized simulation software designed to optimize haulage systems in the mining sector. Using a 3D Discrete Event Simulation (DES) engine, it allows mine planners and engineers to create a detailed digital twin of their open-pit or underground operations. This enables them to test and quantify the impact of various changes—such as new equipment, different haul routes, or alternative fuel fleets like electric and hydrogen—without the cost and risk of real-world trials. The software is primarily used for schedule validation, equipment selection, and identifying operational bottlenecks. While pricing is not publicly available and requires a demo request, the platform offers training options. It is a desktop application for Windows. The vendor, RPMGlobal, was acquired by Caterpillar, but continues to operate under its own brand.
