Production enhancement with dragline planning with real time topography

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 largescale 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. © 2025, World Researchers Associations.
