Abstract

This study examined and analyzed several mine management software programs developed in domestic and oversea countries. In the oversea countries, many companies have developed and commercialized mine management softwares such as Dispatch, $Cat^{(R)}$ $MineStar^{TM}$ and FARA. These softwares provide many functionalities including real-time machine tracking, machine assignment optimization, productivity management, equipment health monitoring and remote control. For the domestic cases, this study reviewed two software programs (i.e., GEMISIMS, Truck-Shovel fleet optimization) developed by several researchers because there is no mine management software currently commercialized in Korea. In addition, this paper reports the two cases at the Jwaneng mine in Botswana and at the Robinson mine in United States where mine management software programs are used to support mine operations.

본 연구에서는 국내외에서 개발된 광산관리 소프트웨어들을 조사하고 그 특징을 분석하였다. 해외에서는 다수의 기업들이 Dispatch, $Cat^{(R)}$ $MineStar^{TM}$, FARA 등과 같은 광산관리 소프트웨어를 개발하고 상용화하였다. 이 소프트웨어들은 실시간 장비 추적, 장비 할당 최적화, 생산량 관리, 장비 상태 모니터링, 원격조종과 같은 기능을 제공한다. 국내에서는 현재까지 상용화된 광산관리 소프트웨어는 없다. 일부 연구자들에 의해 GEMISIMS, Truck-Shovel fleet optimization 등의 소프트웨어가 개발되었으나, 다소 제한적인 기능만을 제공하고 있다. 추가적으로 본 논문에서는 보츠와나 Jwaneng 광산과 미국 Robinson 광산에서 광산관리 소프트웨어를 도입하여 활용한 사례를 조사하여 그 결과를 제시하였다.
