ABSTRACT
Purpose. Scientific and practical substantiation of increasing the efficiency of technological processes in quarries and mines through digitalization of mining operations.
Methods. The article describes a methodology for using the functionality of K-MINE software systems to create a unified automated management system for mining operations and an intelligent decision support system based on a systematic approach and optimization and geospatial digital models that reflect the real state of field development and development prospects.
Findings. With modern market requirements, effective functioning is possible only with comprehensive digitalization of main and auxiliary operations. Fulfillment of this requirement makes it possible to increase the efficiency of subsoil use and get rid of uncontrolled losses in production. In this regard, the possibility of using the K-MINE software for complex digitalization of mining operations was considered.The analysis of the functional capabilities of the main software systems for their use at different stages of mining with both open-pit and underground mining methods is carried out. The digital effect of using the automated control system for mining operations has been determined.
Originality. The scientific novelty lies in the validity of the development of an automated management system for mining operations K-MINEas a functional part of an intelligent decision support system based on integrated digital modeling, design, planning and management of mining operations. The connection between the flexibly formed composition and structure of models and algorithms, as well as calculations, allowing to determine the parameters for making effective management decisions, has been determined.
Practical implications. Based on the studies carried out, it was determined that an integrated approach to digitalization of mining enterprises with K-MINE allows geologists, mine surveyors, technical specialists to solve scientific and technical problems, implement simulation modeling, improve the efficiency and flexibility of process management at enterprises and increase the safety of mining operations in general.
