Mining Parameters

These parameters will be used to train and test the neural network.
They are a few significant areas that I identify and I will be looking into a lot more.

  • Tool - Drill Bit 

  • Mined out Hole 

  • Weather API

  • Mining Process settings 

  • Mining System 
    •   Master PC (Navigation)

    •  Slave PC (Dilling)

  



Tool

Drill Bit


















The drillers use a coak pit system to perform the drill compensation while making sure the mining system is recording all the data correctly.



Weather API

http://api.worldweather.online

The weather API, the mining system manual states it to be  world weather, but I will have to confirm if this is still the current API utilised.


The hole Parameters 

This is an illustration of a mining block that is partly mined out.

It is a 100 by 100 meter block











The form above shows hole information. some parameters are preset others are entered by the driller while mining. The aim is to train the model to understand this and be able to predict the best parameters during inference.

Mining Process settings 
Mining Process and Settings

This a the external parameters that are required to perform mining 
e.g the
  • Global positioning system
  • Heaving Pitching and Roll
  • Wind Direction and Speed 

Mining 

I will describe the current mining process in my next blog 

and Elaborate more on the Master PC used mostly for Navigation and the Slave PC used for Drilling.


The image illustrates the vessel is positioned over a mining block/ spread

this image shows the buttons required to perform auto mining or manual mining 
which I will explain in detail in the next blog 


Blog post Conclusion:


Now that I have identified the parameters, I will be locating the tables with all the parameter data, and create a view to visualise, to see if there are any additional relationships that might benefit the neural network.

rough example scatch to illustrate the view.
