Abstract

Promoting the application of information technology in production management is essential to improve the efficiency. Mine production data usually come in multiple categories such as rough and detailed planning, execution, assessment, examination, inspection and accreditation. These data need to be frequently exchanged between related people and groups. In current Vietnamese coal companies, this is generally achieved by using a common shared folder on a local network, which is highly vulnerable to multiple risks, e.g., data loss or defect, lack of access permission control, file simultaneous access problem, difficulties in synthesizing data for reports… and overall, will result in efficiency decline in production administration. In this study, a data management platform for the mine production data tracking which aims to solve the above problems by using a centralized server is introduced. The solution is then deployed in a coal exploitation company in Vietnam. With support from Viettech Company Ltd, an initial evaluation of the system shows a 10% human errors reduction.
