New year – new publications

Our team worked hard until the very end of 2020, and we can see the fruits of this effort as the new year begins. Part of our articles, which have been submitted at the end of December to the: Energies, Sensors, and Remote Sensing journals by MDPI, together with Elsevier’s Measurement is now ready for you to read!

In the article published in the special issue of Energies journal: “Modelling and Calculation of Raw Material Industry” Dr Pavlo Krot and Prof. Radosław Zimroz, together with co-authors from the Institute of Engineering Mechanics and Transport of the Lviv Polytechnic National University propose a design of a dual-frequency vibrating drive, that can allow achieving better energy efficiency of vibrating machines.

The work of MSc. Anna Michalak, Dr. Jacek Wodecki, Dr. Agnieszka Wyłomańska, Prof. Radosław Zimroz in cooperation with the engineer Michał Drozda from the Polkowice ore beneficiation plant has been published in the Sensors’ special issue: “Sensing Technology and Data Interpretation in Machine Diagnosis and Systems Condition Monitoring”. The authors presented the initial approach to constructing the signal model of the industrial vibrating sieving screen suspension vibrations, which can be used for condition monitoring purposes.

DMC is on a roll!

We are exceedingly happy to announce that the Digital Mining Center team has published a record number of journal articles at the end of this year. In the last two months of 2020, as many as 11 new papers appeared. The studies present the progress of the research conducted in the scope of all the four projects (MEITIM, AMICOS, OPMO, SafeMe4Mine) in which the team is currently involved and some more. We invite the reader to get acquainted with these works listed below:

Towards Sustainable Mining in the Didactic Process—MEITIM Project as an Opportunity to Increase the Attractiveness of Mining Courses (A Case Study of Poland) Journal Article

In: Sustainability, vol. 12, no. 23, 2020.

Abstract | Links

This article depicts the initial assumptions of the international project Master in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology Integration in Mining (MEITIM), co-financed by EIT Raw Materials, that aims to diagnose the current state of Polish higher education in the field of mining at, among others, the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (WUST), concerning the experience of the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT). The MEITIM project allowed for identifying the directions of necessary changes in the didactic process so as to provide an indispensable set of skills and knowledge for a future mining graduate.

MEITIM’s international workshop with DMC and The Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology

1 st International Workshop on Skills and Competencies of the XXIst Century Workforce as part of the MEITIM – Master in Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Technology Integration in Mining project on 18th and 19th of November 2020.

In the first part – keynote speaker lectures were streamed from the main stage at LUT in Finland, where the future needs of workforce in the raw materials companies and organizations have been considered. The second part, in which our members: Magdalena Worsa-Kozak and Bartłomiej Ziętek took part, comprised of discussions on topics, such as:

  • Student as an engineer
  • Student as an entrepreneur
  • Student as data-analysist
  • Student as innovator

Robots left the lab to try their hands in the underground world

Last week was a very intense time for DMC. Directly after Festival of Knowledge, robots, drones and measurement equipment got packed and prepared to be taken for an underground adventure in the corridors of the former gold and arsenic mine in Złoty Stok (meaning ‘golden hillside’). Researchers from the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology, hand in hand with young scientists from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering tried their best, facing the problems that await electronic devices in mines.

Wheeled, tracked or legged undercarriage: what is the best choice for an underground challenge?
