Human Factor Issues with Automated Mining Equipment
This paper presents an extended literature review of the human factors impacts of current and future automation in the minerals industry. It begins by defining what is automation and stating why it is being developed and deployed. It then outlines why it is important to consider operators and maintainers when designing and deploying mining automation. To put mining automation into context, less...
متن کاملImproving Performance of Mining Equipment Through Enhancement of Speed Factor: A Case Study (Research Note)
Loading and hauling machineries are highly capital intensive equipment to procure, operate and maintain in surface mining operation. It must be borne in mind that with this huge and capital-intensive equipment, every second of its life time is absolutely important from the production and productivity point of view. As such, it is imperative to optimize the overall cycle time and speed factor of...
متن کاملThe Role of Human Capital and R&D in Total Factor Productivity in the Mining Sector
Promoting Total Factor Productivity (TFP) is one of the methods to improve the competitiveness in the mining sector. Even so, it is of great importance to find a practical solution for productivity improvement. In this study, value added was measured by an innovative method based on the Divisia quantity index for seven mineral activities for the period 1994-2016. The results of calculating TFP ...
متن کاملSafety Issues and the Use of Software-Controlled Equipment in the Mining Industry
Equipment control functions that were once hardwired are being implemented with software and very large scale integrated (VLSI) devices. Often this transition has resulted in increased flexibility, improved quality, and decreased costs. At the same time, it has created new concerns and challenges concerning worker safety. The visible and welldefined ladder diagram for relay-logic has been repla...
متن کاملAutomated Theorem Proving: Underlying Theory, Overarching Concepts, and Human Factor Issues
In this memo, we discuss the topic of automated theorem proving. This note is intended to serve as an introduction for someone interested in the topic but who doesn’t have extensive background in formal proof systems. The topics covered in this memo are kept at a somewhat conceptual level and pointers are provided to appropriate references for more in-depth treatment of specific topics. In the ...
