Informationization of coal enterprises and digital mine

A Mining Technology Collaboration Platform Theory and Its Product Development and Application to Support China’s Digital Mine Construction

“…This research is divided into two stages. The first stage is to adopt a thorough literature review and desktop research methods, (1) to review the history and achievements in digital mine construction at home and abroad as well as the existing problems in China's digital mine construction; and (2) to analyze and summarize the problems encountered, the solutions adopted and the current development trend in the process of digital and information construction in AEC industry. The second stage is to conduct a requirement survey and perform the analysis, perform R&D and implement the mining technology collaboration platform using interview methods and system development and implementation methods.…”

“…In order to achieve the green and sustainable development of the mining industry, safe and efficient mining technology and management methods have always been the goal pursued by mining scholars and practitioners in various countries, and the research and application of mine digitalization, informatization and intelligent theory and technology is one of the concrete manifestations of this goal [1]. Over the past two decades, China has been committed to the research and development of relevant theories, technologies and products of digital mines and has vigorously promoted the construction of digital mines in various mining enterprises, including the construction and deployment of one or several systems such as 3D mining software, production management and control system, communication network system, monitoring and controlling system, equipment control system, automation system and decision-making system [2][3][4][5][6][7]. For example, the three-dimensional mining software, communication network system, mine resource and production management system and monitoring and controlling system deployed in Dahongshan Copper Mine [8]; Sandaozhuang open-pit mine has built a dispatching system, an ore distribution system and a monitoring and control system [9]; the equipment control system, process control system and production execution system deployed by Baruen mining company [10] and so forth.…”

“…Although China's digital mine construction has achieved certain results, due to the limitations of the objective environmental and technical conditions its application effect on mining enterprises is not very satisfactory and the following problems [2,[17][18][19]] must be addressed- (1) In terms of information, the digital mine hardware and software products in the whole life cycle of mines lack uniform data standards and specifications. Each system has its own data format and storage file and the phenomenon of "information islands" is serious.…”

“…The information involved in the whole life cycle of the mine is scattered among the professionals of all parties, departments and posts. Therefore, version issues, information security issues and information fault issues are inevitable and information acquisition is difficult and cannot be shared in real-time; (2) In terms of management, although mining enterprises have carried out digital mine construction, the management structure of mining enterprises is mostly based on the traditional functional organizational structure formed by the division of labor theory, which neglects the flow of business, resulting in the fragmentation of the mine's whole life cycle business process. The cooperation between the parties, departments and posts is poor and conflicts are often caused as they attempt to maintain their respective interests.…”

Study of Grid GIS in Digital Mine

“…A digital mine is set up on the basis of digitalization, informationization, virtualization and integration, and it is a unified system of management and controlling of computer network. It integrates various factors such as production, management, administration, environment, resources, and safety and benefits so that the enterprise can be developed harmoniously under the condition of "green" mining to improve the competitive ability and adaptability of coal enterprises [1] . At present, many mining enterprises have been established several computer systems which can meet different operation or management needs at different levels [2] .…”
