AIMEX 2011: PSI presents the new mine SCADA PSImining - The Digital Mine
First presentation of PSImining to the professional audience in the Asian Pacific Region
Berlin, Sydney, 19 August 2011 – PSI Production, a subsidiary of PSI AG, will unveil its’ innovative mining solution PSImining to the professional public in the Asian Pacific Region at the International Mining Exhibition AIMEX (Hall 3, Stand 4307-02 Sydney Fair from 6 to 9 September 2011). PSImining is the first factory-level SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system that integrates all mining processes and security features into one fully integrated system which provides interdisciplinary supervision, control and high-level automation to mine operators.
PSI Production will install a sample CCC (Central Control Centre) at the AIMEX-fair revealing the world’s first system which can be considered as the “Digital Mine”: PSImining. All important mine operation processes and sub-processes will be integrated into one central factory-level SCADA with a high performance Human Machine Interface. Live demonstrations of daily situations will show the integrated supervision, control and automation of coal mining, tunnelling, product flow optimisation (conveyors), mine infrastructure, material logistics, security, people tracking, maintenance, etc. managed by one single SCADA system.
PSImining offers with such integration previously unknown possibilities for high-level improvement and automation of processes in the mine combined with a considerable increase of worker safety. Due to precise and flexible reaction of unforeseen events as well as dynamic scheduling of workforce for operation and maintenance, PSImining contributes to improving the efficiency of the existing equipment and thus increasing the output of mines reaching double-digit percentages.
PSI AG develops and integrates complete solutions, on the basis of its own software products, for the management of energy networks (electricity, gas, oil, heat, water), cross-company production management (metals, automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, mining, logistics) and infrastructure management for transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1.450 persons in the group.
