In the quarry of Stoilensky GOK, the second largest producer of iron ore concentrate in Russia, a pilot project has been launched to implement a personnel positioning system. The system will increase the safety of open pit mining operations, as it will allow timely response to emergencies by monitoring and analyzing the actions of personnel and equipment operation.
The system in real time determines the location of workers in the quarry, automatically issues shift tasks for execution works and monitors the results. In addition, it warns the dispatcher about the presence or approach of employees to hazardous areas and violations of technological parameters and operating modes of equipment.
“Stoilensky GOK became one of the pioneers in the implementation of a positioning system in open pit mining. At present, the system has been launched at two mining sites, and in the future it will cover all structural divisions that operate in the open-pit mine of SGOK, ”comments Sergei Napolskikh, General Director of Stoilensky GOK.
