Enhancing Coal Mining Efficiency

Coal is a prominent energy resource for several countries. Of late, exploring the automatic management and control of coal mining has been a significant task. This article presents a framework for a mine-wide integrated automation management and control platform with the goal of advancing coal mining through unified data, models, platforms, and plans. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies, the platform offers resource management, real-time monitoring, remote control, statistical analysis, and intelligent alarm systems. Data access design ensures standardized data collection and exchange, fostering interoperability. A big data storage center manages heterogeneous data sources. The platform interface design emphasizes flexibility and scalability through containerized applications and microservices frameworks, streamlining deployment. The functional design encompasses subsystem configuration access, real-time monitoring, remote access, etc. A detailed evaluation is presented to demonstrate the significance of the proposed platform in terms of functionality, performance, and scalability.
