Abstract

In this study, we proposed a diagnostics and assessment model for mining sites that can evaluate the smart mining technology level in a systematic and structured way. For this, the maturity of the smart mining was defined, and detailed assessment items of the diagnostics and assessment model for smart mining were derived by considering the smart factory diagnostics and assessment model (KS X 9001-3) used in the manufacturing industry. While maintaining the existing system, the existing 46 detailed assessment items were modified to be suitable for mining. As a result, a total of 29 detailed assessment items were derived in the areas of promotion strategy, process, information system and automation, and performance. Based on this, a questionnaire was designed to diagnose the level of smart mining technology, and assessment was performed by applying it to domestic iron mines. The level of smart mining technology in the study area was found to be level 2, and it could be inferred that it was about 40% lower than the average smart level of the general manufacturing industry. In addition, by using the developed model, it was possible to recognize the weak points of the mine at each stage of the introduction, operation, and advancement of smart mining, and to suggest investment and improvement directions.

본 연구에서는 스마트 마이닝 기술의 수준을 체계적이고 구조화된 방법으로 평가할 수 있는 스마트 마이닝 기술 수준 진단평가 모델을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 스마트 마이닝의 성숙도를 정의하였으며, 제조업에서 활용되는 스마트 공장 진단평가 모델(KS X 9001-3)을 참조하여 스마트 마이닝 기술 수준 진단평가 모델의 세부평가항목 도출하였다. 기존의 체계를 유지하면서 기존 46개의 세부평가항목을 광업에 적합하도록 수정하였으며 추진전략, 프로세스, 정보시스템과 자동화, 성과 부문에서 총 29개의 세부 평가항목을 도출하였다. 이를 토대로 스마트 마이닝 기술 수준 진단평가 설문지를 설계하였고, 국내의 철광산을 연구지역으로 설정한 다음 스마트 마이닝 기술 수준을 평가하였다. 연구지역의 스마트화 수준은 레벨 2로 나타났으며, 일반 제조업의 평균 스마트 수준과 비교했을 때 40% 정도 낮은 수준에 있음을 유추할 수 있었다. 또한, 개발된 모델을 이용하여 스마트 마이닝의 도입, 운영, 고도화의 단계별로 광산의 취약한 부분을 인지하고 투자 및 개선 방향을 제시할 수 있었다.
