Panel Planner by MOS is mine development software that helps crews plan, track, and report progress as they build gateroads. Capture every metre cut, monitor performance in real time, and hand over instantly to BlockBuilder for longwall production.
Before any coal can be mined, the tunnels that lead to the longwall need to be built.
That’s where Panel Planner comes in. It helps teams plan, track, and manage this early development stage – the groundwork that keeps the whole operation moving.
Instead of relying on paperwork or scattered spreadsheets, teams can record everything digitally as they work. The result is a clear, connected picture of progress that flows straight into the production plan.
Panel Planner is easy-to-use software that turns mine development into a live digital process.
Teams log what’s happening underground – how far they’ve advanced, what conditions they’ve hit, and where their equipment is. All that information is stored in the cloud and shared instantly with managers and engineers.
When the development phase is finished, BlockBuilder already has the data it needs to start the longwall. This means no re-entry, no duplication, just a smooth handover from one stage to the next.
How does Panel Planner work?
Panel Planner digitises the development phase in three steps:
Supervisors create digital panel plans with defined routes, targets and compliance checks, with everyone working from one clear, shared plan.
Crews record development data including metres cut, conditions, equipment location, and performance. Real-time dashboards show progress, compliance and productivity.
Once the panel is complete, all captured data transfers automatically into BlockBuilder. The longwall team starts with a ready-to-go digital block meaning no re-entry, duplication or guesswork.
Panel Planner gives you a clear, connected picture of progress that flows straight into the production plan.

Panel Planner is part of the Mapped Out Solutions (MOS) ecosystem – where digital tools like NEXIS, BlockBuilder and BreakIn connect planning, execution and control across mining operations. Together, they create a single source of truth for safer, smarter performance.
NEXIS – Operations management software for planning, scheduling and reporting.
Breakin – workplace safety software built for high-risk industries. Manage unplanned tasks, conduct inspections, assess hazards, and enforce compliance with a structured, AI-supported process that keeps teams safe and accountable.
BlockBuilder – is mine scheduling software designed for longwall mining teams. Plan retreats, track equipment wear, monitor safety data, and manage resources with real-time insights to improve efficiency and safety.
Together, they give organisations a single source of truth for planning, execution and safety across every site.
