a few years after the implementation of computerize maintenance management systems (cmms), showing the analysis results of the collected data in these systems is necessary and important for continuing the usage of these systems. equipment downtime and cost data can identify patterns of equipment faults and equipment costs. it can also show deficiencies in the implementation of maintenance syste...

The longwall mining method is one of the most applied methods in extracting low-inclined to high-inclined coal seams. Selection of the most suitable extraction equipment is very important in the economical, safety, and productivity aspects of mining operations. There are a lot of parameters affecting the selection of an extraction equipment in mechanized longwall mining in steeply inclined coal...

PROBLEM An average of three workers a year are killed in surface mining operations when a piece of haulage equipment collides with another smaller vehicle or a worker on foot. Another three workers are killed each year when haulage equipment backs over the edge of a dump point or stockpile. Devices to monitor the blind areas of mining equipment are needed to provide a warning to operators when ...

Abstract Mining machinery and equipment have changed little in recent decades, from the point of view principle operation, construction structure. But terms dimensions, performance stresses they made a lot progress, experiencing unprecedented sophistication complexity. In order to fulfil new requirements imposed by increasing productivity efficiency demands, as well economic, environmental safe...

Purpose Construction equipment is a key resource, and contractors that own a large equipment fleet take all necessary measures to maximize equipment utilization and minimize equipment failures. Although most contractors implement scheduled maintenance programs and carry out periodic inspections and repairs on their construction equipment, it is still difficult to predict the occurrence of a spe...

During the last decade, mining companies and mobile equipment manufacturers have pursued improved efficiency, productivity, and safety in underground mining operations by automating some of the functions of underground vehicles. This paper describes the implementation and successful field testing of a new infrastructureless guidance system for autonomous tramming of centre-articulated undergrou...
