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

Invitation from AMICOS to the MDPI special issues

Is your research related to mapping of mining environments?
Are you interested in remote sensing, underground 3D mapping, robotics, spatial data analysis, modelling, visualisation or any other topic, that could help us to scientifically support the digital transformation of raw materials sector?
If yes, we would like to kindly invite you to publish!

Submit your paper in one of the fresh special issues in the Environmental Remote Sensing section of MDPI journal, in which our AMICOS project collegues and the leader of DMC – professor Radosław Zimroz are guest editors:

New article in Engineering Failure Analysis

We are not slowing down! Another article by Dr Pavlo Krot, and Prof. Radosław Zimroz has been recently published in Engineering Failure Analysis journal. It presents the results of abrupt failure investigation in the structure of industrial plant for hydrostatic pressure testing tubes.

The authors proposed two options of plant modernization to reinforce the structure for safe work under pressure from 70 MPa to 125 MPa depending on the tube size and testing conditions. Such improvements have a significant potential for increasing the testing plant’s productivity.

The work presented in these papers has been funded by the SAFEME4MINE project. Full citations can be found below.

Growing appetites for academic development

Three of the DMC members have just started a new chapter in their career. Aleksandra Banasiewicz, Adam Wróblewski and Bartłomiej Ziętek, at the end of this week became brand new Ph.D. students of the interdisciplinary Doctoral School of WUST.

They are going to excel and develop in the area of Environmental Engineering, Mining and Energetics making advantage of the skills obtained due to their responsibilities in DMC and enriching our team by their freshly acquired knowledge.

We wish you all the best on the new adventure path!

Pavlo Krot on the Virtual Conference on Mechanical Fatigue

There is no time to waste, waiting for the conferences in classic form. Our team knows it very well, hence the research work is in full swing and we are happy to present its fruits in the virtual world.

We are proud to announce that the member of DMC’s Mechatronics / Reliability group – Pavlo Krot, Ph.D. presented three of his new works on fhe first Virtual Conference on Mechanical Fatigue (VCMF 2020) organised by the University of Porto, the Wrocław University of Science and Technology and the ESIS/TC12 Technical Committee (European Structural Integrity Society – ESIS). The articles presented below are an effect of the international and interdisciplinary cooperation between Pavlo and other Ukrainian and Polish researchers from:

  • Z.I. Nekrasov Iron and Steel Institute,
  • Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology,
  • Lviv Polytechnic National University,
  • Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding,
  • DMT GmbH & Co.,
  • KGHM Polska Miedź S.A and
  • Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology of WUST.

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?

Zaproszenie na Dolnośląski Festiwal Nauki

Zespół Digital Mining Center Wydziału Geoinżynierii, Górnictwa i Geologii Politechniki Wrocławskiej w ramach Dolnośląskiego Festiwalu Nauki serdecznie zaprasza na warsztaty on-line na temat:

Górnictwo – maszyny i roboty – rzeczywistość i świat wirtualny.

Przygotujcie się na przygodę z cyfrowym górnictwem. Opowiemy o tym jak roboty i drony pomagają górnikom w pracy i jak pozwalają pracować bezpieczniej. Pokażemy prawdziwą kopalnię dzięki możliwościom technologii filmowania 360. Pokażemy testy nowoczesnych urządzeń na co dzień wspierających pracę pod ziemią. Opowiemy o ciekawych międzynarodowych projektach, współfinansowanych przez EIT KIC Raw Materials, które realizuje DMC.

Warsztaty są otwarte dla wszystkich chętnych uczestników bez limitu miejsc i bez wcześniejszych zapisów.

Odbędą się on-line na platformie ZOOM w 3 terminach do wyboru:

• 21. września 2020r. o godz. 10.00 – 11.00
