On the Buryat Hiagda field commercial operation of "Smart helmets" is started

2019

Equipment of employees of "Smart polygon" hardware and software systems "Smart Helmet"

On December 10, 2019 Softline reported that together with Rostelecom equipped employees of "A smart polygon" of JSC Hiagda with the hardware and software systems "Smart Helmet". Commercial operation of the solution is started on December 6, 2019.

"The smart polygon" on extraction of uranium is created on the Source field in the Bauntovsky Evenki area of the Republic of Buryatia. The project is included in the uniform digital strategy of ROSATOM State Corporation. Its implementation will allow the company to increase labor productivity and cost efficiency of production.

The hardware and software system "Smart Helmets" developed by experts of Softline helps to increase the level of physical security of employees on production. The helmet fixes the fact of finding of individual protection equipment on the head, transmits to the manager a signal in case of falling of the worker or receiving blow, warns about dangerous "red zones" and also gives the chance to control location of the person in premises and on open space. Also information on the employee's exit from the work area is transferred to dispatching office. Further a system is capable to analyze all statistical data about time of active work of each of employees for a certain period.

In 2019 the ROSATOM State Corporation entered the movement Vision Zero — Zero Injury Rate. Therefore a main goal of implementation of 'smart helmets' at the enterprise — increasing the level of security of employees. The first 150 helmets will be used by the personnel of our enterprise working at hazardous production facilities told the CEO of JSC Hiagda Andrey Gladyshev

Implementation of "smart helmets" on JSC Hiagda became one of sign projects for Softline in 2019. The Hiagdinsky field is in the distance from the cities, is rather hardly accessible that complicated planning, but repeated visits on the platform and also the high level of interest of the customer allowed us to implement the project qualitatively and in a short time. It should be noted professional approach of the management of JSC Hiagda to digital transformation, understanding of the importance of implementation of IT technologies and products on industrial enterprise,

the Technological solution which is the cornerstone of this project will allow to expand further functionality of 'smart helmets', equipping employees with the additional sensors allowing to control safety of workers and also to expand functionality on process systems, collecting from them telemetry deleted wirelessly,

For Rostelecom the project of "a smart helmet" became a starting point for creation of the whole portfolio of industrial solutions which we pilot through the whole country. The main objectives solved within industry projects is performance improvement of work, business process automation and security on production, reported the director of strategic projects of Rostelecom Danila Burmetyev

Positioning system testing "Smart helmets" on "A smart polygon"

On February 12, 2019 the Softline company reported that together with Rostelecom "Smart helmets" on JSC Hiagda implement the system of positioning. The solution allows to control far off observance of safety regulations on production and to watch movement and a status of employees during operation. It is an important step on the way to zero injury rate to synergies with digitalization of business processes of nuclear sector.

According to the company, "Smart helmets" are tested on the first in Russia the "Smart polygon" on extraction of uranium created on the Source field in the Bauntovsky Evenki area of the Republic of Buryatia. The project is an element of uniform digital strategy of ROSATOM State Corporation and enters a packet of digital products of State corporation. The system of positioning allows to control far off observance of safety regulations on production and to watch movement and a status of employees during operation. The project is implemented together with Department of information technologies of ROSATOM State Corporation, PJSC Rostelecom and Softline Group.

We create a single digital platform of lifecycle of exploration and production of solid minerals. For February, 2019 we are at the first stage – on the Source field the intellectual technology of management of development of fields of uranium of method of borehole underground lixiviation is implemented. Software packages help the enterprise to estimate authentically a mining-and-geological situation of the fulfilled sections of fields, to model working off options, to carry out the exact analysis of the performed works, to quickly make decisions in the analysis and the forecast of mastering of the field, geological modeling and planning. Implementation of "Smart helmets" – small, but very important stage of creation of the digital platform which should be implemented right at the beginning. Vyacheslav Galaktionov, director of information technology of ARMZ Uranium holding

The "Smart helmets" with the positioning module based on GPS trackers developed by Softline increase the level of physical security of employees on production: they are capable to fix existence of individual protection equipment on the head, to transmit a signal to the manager in case of falling of the employee or receiving blow, to warn about dangerous "red zones" and also allow to control their location in premises and on open space. The software fixes the exit facts from the work area and transfers information to dispatching office, further a system is capable to analyze all statistical data about time of active work of each of employees for a certain period.

Employees of the uranium mining enterprise are also going to be provided with bracelets with the built-in sensors of pulse, body temperature. In case of need such bracelet can transmit a disturbing signal to dispatching office in the absence of other means of communication.

Implementation of "Smart helmets" – an important step to ensuring "zero injury rate" according to a key priority of ROSATOM State Corporation – security. Modern digital developments are the cornerstone of the technological solution, and the project is an element of uniform digital strategy of ROSATOM State Corporation. Evgeny Abakumov, director of the department of information technologies of Rosatom State Corporation

We calculate that this development will allow us to minimize the facts of violation of labor discipline and to increase employee performance. Roman Naryshkin, head of information technology of JSC Hiagda

Creation of "A smart helmet" began with "blank sheet": on start we had a normal helmet and the needs for security, such as existence of the disturbing button and geopositioning. Rostelecom as the key supplier of communication services for JSC Hiagda, developed the solution which allowed to control location of personnel, working at the mine both in premises, and on open space. The solution a smart helmet was as a result received. Andrey Zdarov, director of the Buryat branch PJSC Rostelecom

We developed the hardware and software system "Smart Helmet" according to wishes of JSC Hiagda. It considers features of work in difficult climatic conditions and remoteness from large localities. For February, 2019 at the enterprise trial operation is complete. Sergey Monin, the expert in the field of solutions on industrial Internet of Things (Internet of Things) of Softline group

It is planned that in the spring of 2019 each employee of JSC Hiagda will have "Smart helmets" and bracelets, and in the near future – at other enterprises of ARMZ Uranium holding.
