Operational Management Decision-Making System

 

bullet

A decision making system that manages risk (to supply of coal to the power station) on a continuous basis by assessing the production system and operation environment to arrive at decisions concerning:

bullet

what dig rate should be set for dredgers

bullet

what parts of the bunker should have priority for distribution of coal

bullet

when additional crews should be called in

bullet

when dredgers should be changed

bullet

Implemented in Intelligent Agent technology

dMARS agent plan design interface

 

3-Dimensional Position Determination using Ultrasonics (Nixen)

 

bullet

A 3-D position measurement system was developed using ultrasonics to provide a measure of the position of the bucket-wheel dredger discharge boom relative to the conveyor hopper:

bullet

operates in dust and fog

bullet

10m volume coverage

bullet

0.1m precision over all environments

bullet

uses GPS-like algorithms
