New developments and applications of sensor technology in lignite mining

摘要

Since the start of industrial production,automation has been a factor enhancing performance,process precision and process control.This is the main reason why more than 80 % of all investment in existing production facilities is in automation equipment.To allow the automation and optimisation of the complex continuous process of lignite/overburden mining and conveying to be pressed forward towards trouble-free and uninterrupted operation and permit condition-based maintenance of the mining and conveying equipment,the most various sensor technologies have been developed and tested in the recent past.Appropriate sensors are a fundamental prerequisite for automating operation and diagnosis.
