CHINA COAL & MINING EXPO: PSI presents new mine SCADA PSImining - The Digital Mine
Berlin, 13 October 2011 – PSI Production, a subsidiary of PSI AG, will present its’ innovative mining solution PSImining to the Chinese professional public from 28 to 31 October 2011 at the CHINA COAL & MINING EXPO 2011 in Peking (New Hall, Stand D 058). 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 CHINA COAL & MINING EXPO 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.
