MACHINE BASED MINING EQUIPMENT OPTIMIZATION TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AND SECURITY IN UNDERGROUND MINING WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of using more efficient machine-based mining equipment on savings in operational costs and increased profitability in underground mining. By integrating the latest machine technologies, such as automatic cutting machines, autonomous trucks, and IoT-based monitoring systems, the study found that the application of these technologies can reduce operational costs, increase productivity, and reduce accident rates. The research results show that mines that use machine tools based on the latest technology are more efficient than traditional methods, both in terms of time, cost, and work safety. Therefore, this study recommends further investment in machine technology to improve efficiency and profitability in underground mining. In addition, this research emphasizes the need for continuous innovation in mining equipment to ensure long-term sustainability. The integration of these technologies not only boosts operational efficiency but also offers solutions to mitigate environmental and safety challenges in the mining industry. By fostering an environment that embraces technological advancement, underground mining can evolve into a more cost-effective, productive, and safer operation.
