Method and system for assigning tasks to drill rigs

This invention outlines a method for efficiently scheduling multiple drill rigs to drill holes and move between drilling locations. It achieves this by breaking the overall scheduling challenge into smaller, interconnected problems, and then finding a solution where the answers to these smaller problems validate each other. The final schedule ensures the drill rigs can work on tasks at the same time.

Why it matters: Computational resources for complex optimization, like those for route planning, have vastly improved since 2016. This makes dynamic, real-time scheduling for industrial operations more practical.
