Abstract

A number of open pit mines, employing mainly continuous mining methods, are currently in operation at the lignite basin of Ptolemais-Amydeon in northern Greece. This study presents the design characteristics and implementation of a software system developed for a network environment, using a popular database framework, in order to facilitate recording and processing of downtime as well as generation of various equipment status and statistical reports for any period within a calendar year for chained production systems involving BWEs, conveyors and stackers.
