THE USE OF MODERN SYSTEMS OF AUTOMATION OF OPEN CAST MINING

The paper reviews the history of mining and transport equipment automation and robotization, operation principle of such technologies as the << Mine >> and << Intelligent mine >> is described, economic impact of the technology << intelligent mine >> is calculated. The analysis of existing systems of automation of open cast mining and technology trends of management showed that the creation of robotic systems is the most important task of the development of open pit mining. The purposes of the work are: to substantiate the need to use the first Russian system of deserted mining, to analyze the trends in the development of automated production technologies in mining enterprises, to justify scientific and methodological principles and stages of the robotic system implementation, to assess economic efficiency of robotic systems implementation at open cast mining. Research methods: methods of system, structural-functional and factor analysis, scientific analysis, mathematical statistics, natural experiment, mathematical modeling of technical and economic performance of the robotic system transportation. Results. The authors conducted a feasibility study on the use of a robotic system for open pit mining, justified scientific and methodological principles and steps of creation of a robotic production system at mining enterprises, determined that the creation of robotic transport systems will ensure the safety of open mining operations and the improvement of efficiency and productivity and will also allow mining in difficult natural and climatic regions with the difficult geological and mining conditions.
