Intelligent quarry Automated Management System of the Mining and Transport Complex

2025: Compatibility with open source OKD and Open Source Kubernetes containerization platforms

GK Zyfra"" February 25, 2025 announced significant updates in its flagship product for digitalization - mining the management system transport of the mining complex "Zyfra. Quarry. " All changes are aimed at strengthening technological sovereignty and meeting safety requirements for critical information infrastructure (CII) mining enterprises.

Updates affected both versions of "Zyfra. Quarry "- for open and underground mining.

open source containerization Compatibility with OKD and platforms is provided. Open Source Kubernetes This allows mining enterprises to flexibly scale resources and ensures CUES the dispatching system required for fault tolerance, while maintaining full control over the infrastructure.

Excluded commercial foreign data components. Within the framework of the Data Showcase module, a comprehensive solution has been formed based on advanced open source components for working with data - from data collection and conversion to data storage and visualization. At the same time, all analytical capabilities of the system are saved.

The outdated map engine has been replaced with an open source solution that meets the requirements of import independence and license purity. Another of its quality is the possibility of 3D visualization of enterprise objects (including the display of various horizons, tunnels and utilities), which is especially important for underground mining.

The practice of automatic scanning of vulnerabilities in CI/CD procedures has been introduced. This makes it possible to identify potential threats in the early stages and form recommendations for their elimination, which is necessary to strengthen the protection of critical data and infrastructure of mining enterprises - subjects of CII (in accordance with the requirements of the FSTEC and the FSB).

In addition, for enterprises where the "Figure. Quarry, "a service is provided for migration from foreign database management systems (DBMS) to import-independent solutions. The Zyfras command helps to translate the accumulated data on the operation of mining transport from Oracle DBMS, MS SQL and other systems to PostgreSQL open source DBMS or Russian commercial versions. The transition not only solves the problem of import substitution, but also allows you to lay the foundation for the deployment of other "Zyfra" products.

{{quote 'Every update in our products is aimed at helping industrial enterprises strengthen their path to technological independence. Our goal is to build an ecosystem of solutions, the security, openness and functionality of which is combined with the requirements of regulators and allows us to effectively achieve the goals of digital transformation. Our further improvements will be aimed at expanding integration capabilities with Russian operating systems and hardware, - said Nikolai Godunov, head of the Mining Industry division of Zyfra Group of Companies. }}

Remote Control Bulldozer LINE T15

The company VIST Robotics, a resident of the Skolkovo Foundation Information Technology Cluster, made a pilot passage of the remote-controlled bulldozer SHTA T15 in the summer of 2018. The multi-ton construction machine was located at the landfill in Cheboksary, which was operated by an operator in Moscow. All process tasks were successfully completed.

Bulldozers are a new type of equipment for VIST Robotics. Prior to that, the company worked only with autonomous or remotely controlled trucks. The new development is the progressive development of the Intellectual Quarry concept. The main advantage of digital mining is the exclusion of people from the hazardous area of ​ ​ heavy equipment. Bulldozers are often idle, and the drivers are in the cabin in difficult production conditions throughout the shift. To solve this problem, VIST Robotics decided to create a Control Center in which operators work constantly. Each of them can connect to any machine simply by selecting it from the list and control it remotely. The entire picture from the cameras is displayed on the workplace monitors, which can be located in the control center outside the process site.

CHETRA T15 is a medium traction class machine for industrial, oil and gas, hydraulic engineering and mining. Three-point semi-rigid suspension with extended axle of bogies swinging and micro-compression of tension wheel provides high traction-coupling properties, reduced impact loads on running system and improved operating conditions of operator.

Russian unmanned system for mining dump trucks

The Russian company VIST Robotics conducted successful tests of the Unit Rig MT3300 unmanned dump truck in Morocco in early 2018. Prior to this, only the Japanese company Komatsu used the unmanned system in quarries on its Komatsu 930E and Komatsu 830E heavy trucks, for Chile and Australia at the Rio Tinto mine.

The tests were carried out at a specially prepared training ground located near the Moroccan city of Casablanca. The site was specially equipped to run in innovative technologies developed by VIST Robotics.

Terex Mining MT3300 Unit Rig dump truck with fully automated control independently drove along a given route, and also performed an imitation of unloading. Thus, another step has been taken to create a machine designed to increase the safety of work, as well as increase the efficiency of production.

2017: Intellectual quarry

"Intellectual Quarry" - a project to create the first Russia in the technology of deserted extraction of solid minerals (minerals TPI), is being implemented in partnership with the company. SUEK Cooperation with companies, equipment manufacturers allowed VIST Mining Technologies specialists to test BELAZ robotic equipment and, in KAMAZ 2017, it is planned to work out the technological cycle of loading and transporting TPI in autonomous mode. The estimated cost of implementing the technology is 600 million. rubles The project is being implemented within the framework of the market roadmap.AUTONET National Technology Initiative

The company VIST Group develops and implements the automated dispatching system (ACS GTC) "Quarry." This is a control system for mining transport complexes based on satellite navigation technologies and a robotic system for controlling the technological processes of open mining operations. The creation of ACS GTC "Quarry" at mining enterprises makes it possible to automate the processes of transportation, excavation and drilling and blasting, and in the future - to carry out mining operations without direct human participation. This significantly increases the efficiency of open-pit mining, makes it possible to carry out efficient and safe mining in hard-to-reach and climatically severe regions, increases production safety at facilities, and eliminates the problem of lack of qualified personnel. The use of ACS GTC "Quarry" transfers the extraction of minerals by open method to the modern level of automation.
