“…In the past, the mining industry in India was mostly viewed as labour-oriented with low levels of mechanization and technological advancement. More than any other industrial activity, mining tends to leave a strong negative impact on the environment, society, local communities and the people exposed and working in a mine environment [1]. The situation has been reviewed by experts and scientists and, in the present decade, there has been a pronounced-up gradation in the mining industry, especially in open cast mining.…”

The mining industry is an asset intrinsic industry and continuous increase in demand of the mineral/ore as per production target requires increased availability and productivity of the equipment. The continuous innovation over the years in maintenance practice from breakdown to now prescriptive maintenance is improving the equipment availability and increasing the productivity. The mining industry is still lagging compared to manufacturing industries in terms of equipment utilization. Earlier, the production operations schedules were based on equipment manufacturer's guidance and some configured software insights were taken into consideration. To assess and enhance the equipment performance, additional insights are considered for determining the maintenance schedule dates. This paper details the optimization framework model for managing the schedule of the movable mining equipment of open cast mines to improve the availability and productivity of the mining equipment. The enhanced framework is applied to multiple attributes which helps in deriving the maintenance schedules which in turn optimizes the usage of maintenance resources. The availability of maintenance resources at a specific point of time allows efficient equipment allocation in workshop bays resulting in optimized maintenance schedules and enhanced equipment availability for production operations. The new key performance indicators can be measured as "Mean Time of Preventive Maintenance" and "Mean Time of Overall Maintenance" which will plot the maintenance schedule pattern for analysis and will combine the planned and unplanned maintenance schedules, subsequently improving the availability of the mining equipment and resulting in higher productivity.

Telematics systems that integrate wireless communications and automation for equipment tracking and trip monitoring in mining operations have an advanced impact on the operational efficiency and optimization of the mine's asset inventory. In this study, a system was developed for solution in a mining area with low mobile network signal coverage and no internet service available to monitor and analyze the actual utilization executed by heavy equipment using microcontrollers with communication capabilities (GSM/GPRS, WiFi, and Bluetooth) and sensor modules for fuel monitoring and location tracking. Open-source software was utilized, such as PHP framework and MySQL, to provide a fast and real-time display of daily mine operations. The study provides an online tracking and ticketing system on mine hauling vehicles, introducing a cost-efficient, reliable, interactive platform for web-based monitoring and real-time telematics. The data acquired in real-time provide significant information which will allow innovative equipment optimization.
