Nowadays, the problem of ambient air pollution is a challenge in the world. Many government initiatives are being implemented to mitigate the impact of pollution on the environment as well as other aspects of human health and life. A particularly important case is urban areas exposed to the negative impact of industry, for example mining and power plants. In most cases, measurements are carried out pointwise in selected places and periodically with a constant interval of time. There is a lack of dedicated tools th...

The main purpose in mineral processing plant is to obtain the highest possible value from a processed raw material. In majority of concentrators in the world mining the first step of the processing technology is sieving of ore that is performed using vibrating screens. Usually, in the whole technological system there are only several such machines. That is why their continuous operation is critical and they are often concerned as a bottleneck of the whole system. Although the vibrating screens are expected to keep...

The development of advanced analytics for data measured by SCADA systems is crucial from the viewpoint of process monitoring, management, and optimization. Many mining assets are characterized by cyclical operations performed with a fixed sequence of their course. An example is the Load Haul Dump (LHD) machine transporting material from the mining face to the dumping point, where the material is preloaded into a further means of transport - a conveyor belt. For wheel loader, the basic signal is pressure signal mea...
