Study on function systems of digitalization for underground metal mines

The function systems of digital mine for underground metal mines were figured out after analyzing and summarizing to the characteristics of informatization for mines from both domestic and international. The function systems, in the view of actual management of underground metal mines, were integrated with six areas including visualization of geological resources, optimization of design and planning, production automation, integrated safety management, interoperable operation, and intelligent decision support. The basic idea generated during the research can be taken as a reference for the digitalization in underground metal mines.
