APPLICATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES AND AUTOMATION IN RMU “KAKANJ”

Summary/Abstract: The use of informatics and automation in the process of underground and surface exploitation of mineral resources is increasingly obliging experts in this field, to give priority to this flow, which covers the entire technique and technology. Modern approaches in underground and surface exploitation imply a much greater participation of experts in the pits and in the surface mines in the research, which should enable greater efficiency of the exploitation process, and thus, higher profits. Knowledge of world technology, modern mining techniques and the quality of human resources must give a new impetus to underground and surface exploitation in terms of mass creativity, which will later take over new technological solutions. The real possibilities in the realization of these development tasks are provided by informatics. The starting point for the use of informatics is a quality database. The traditional approach to the database mainly represents a centralized database for underground exploitation as well as the entire surface mine, as a recurrence of centralized computer centers and information systems. The introduction of personal computers, however, is increasingly changing the creative attitude towards relational databases, which enable faster development of application programs, intended to solve very specific problems. In pits as well as in surface mines, a distributed database is necessary for the deposit (geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, geodesy, geomechanics, etc.), for equipment (harvesters, loaders, methanometric power plants, pumps, transformer stations, excavators, trucks, drills, conveyors, auxiliary equipment) and for economics (production costs, ore price, etc.).
