Abstract
The seamless fusion of dragline planning with real-time topography is explored to
boost production in surface mining. In coal mining, draglines play a crucial role
as primary stripping tools and their uninterrupted operation is essential for cost-effective
productivity. The transition from shovel to dragline mining in large-scale coal
mining projects, underscores the significance of these machines. The study underscores
the importance of precise dragline design to ensure reliability and predictability,
minimizing disruptions during repairs and component replacements.
The proposed method integrates real-time topography data, introducing an innovative
aspect to dragline planning. Utilizing advanced technologies such as Datamine (MineScape
software), this integration enables dynamic adjustments in dragline operations based
on evolving topographical conditions. The research highlights the potential of this
integrated approach in enhancing production by facilitating proactive decision-making,
minimizing downtime and overall improving mining efficiency.
