Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly transforming the coal mining industry through various applications aimed at enhancing efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance. The article highlights specific uses of AI, including automation of mining vehicles and processes, the deployment of robots and drones for remote inspections, and AI-powered systems for real-time worker safety monitoring and hazard detection. Furthermore, the article discusses the crucial role of AI in predictive maintenance to minimize equipment downtime and in monitoring and ensuring adherence to environmental regulations related to air and water quality. Finally, AI is being utilized to optimize mining and processing operations, leading to increased productivity and reduced waste, as exemplified by integrated AI models designed for comprehensive mine management.
