With ever-increasing productivity targets in mining operations, there is a growing interest in mining automation. The PIMM project addresses the fundamental challenge of network communication by constructing a pilot 5G network in the underground mine Kankberg. In this report, we discuss how such a 5G network could constitute the essential infrastructure to organize existing systems in Kankberg ...

Safety is a legal requirement of mining industry. Effective safety measurements and risk management can serve the mine administration to lessen dangers recognized in mine. Autonomous technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) Machine Learning (ML) models have been integrated with industry ensure safe working environment since decade ago form fully unmanned workfaces robots. These autono...

In this study a loglinear model has been investigated to evaluate the role of various factors in coal mine injuries. Data on the varieties namely age, safety performance, working condition, safety environment, management and supervision, emotional stability, job involvement, job satisfaction, and job stress have been collected through questionnaire survey. The associations of the risk factors w...

This paper asks whether publicizing firms’ regulatory performance influences their subsequent compliance behavior in the domain of workplace safety. It utilizes a policy change by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) whereby it started issuing a press release detailing safety and health violations found during an inspection if that inspection resulted in financial penalties ...

Background: Coal mining requires safe and effective roadway support to ensure production worker safety. Anchor is a common method used for controlling the roof of coal seams. This study aims analyze effectiveness different anchor schemes provide theoretical basis designing support. Methods: The authors computer simulation tool called FLAC3D simulate spacing between bolts, bolt length, cable con...

This paper reviews the 100-year history of federal electrical safety research in the U.S mining industry, originally by the US Bureau of Mines, and as carried on today by NIOSH. First, there is a brief historical review of the use of electrical power in mining and an examination of the associated shock, fire, and explosion hazards. These hazards were the impetus for government intervention to i...

Although Dahongshan Copper Mine, a subsidiary of Chinalco Co., Ltd., has large production scale, it is still non-ferrous metal underground mine with low mechanization and labor efficiency due to its early production. In recent years, mines have carried out number beneficial scientific explorations practices on safety management. According their own actuality, they combined They done meticulousl...

sarcheshmeh copper mine, with the final reserves of 828 million tons of sulfur ore and average grade of 0.74%, is known to be the largest open pit of iran and most probably the second largest copper mine in the world. this mine is located in the seismotectonic zone of central-iran, and 23 km away from the 150 km long rafsanjan active fault.in this study the vulnerability of the west wall of the...

By law mining fracture morphology analysis, based on coal face gas flow characteristics, obtain the L-shaped surface well layout area in under influence of mining. Analysis overlying strata "three zones" distribution, calculation method height overburden rock designed ground structure proposed safety drainage system construction plan. In Sihe Mine was engineering practice, average production at...
