Digital mine design based on Data Warehouse and GIS

The theories and technologies involved in digital mine are the forelands of current information technology development. How to effectively integrate the “technical” and “commercial” systems is the key point that concerned the sustainable development and standardized management in mining industry. Based on the existing mining information, we propose a six layer digital mine model, which is composed of Positioning, Sensing, Condition Monitoring and Control System, Network/Telecommunication Platform, Data Acquisition Platform, Data Warehouse Platform, Application/Analysis Platform, Mine Enterprise Information Portal. The illumination of its main framework and detailed discussion of its certain key points of the system, such as Data Acquisition, Data Warehouse, Data Application/Analysis, are presented in this paper.
