Raspadskaya, a Russian coal mining company partly owned by
British steel making and mining group EVRAZ, has deployed an Orange
Business Services bespoke IoT solution at its Russian coal
preparation factory. The system plays a key role in minimizing the
risk of mixing different grades and types of coal, thereby tainting
supplies.

Raw coal is transported to different unloading bays in
Raspadskya’s warehouse – a 40,000 square meter open-air storage
facility – from its open-pit mines and is tagged for different
grades of coal concentrate. The challenge Raspadskya has is making
sure different grades of coal are not mixed. Mixing, due to human
error, negatively affects the quality of its product.
Tracking truck deliveries with IoT To ensure loads are
put in the correct locations, Orange Business Services deployed
telemetry sensors and real-time tracking (RTLS) systems using
industrial outdoor WiFi hotspots. Transport tags are attached to
the trucks delivering the coal from the mines to the warehouse,
which read data from the truck and the sensors. Beacons installed
in the trucks’ cabs alert drivers if they try to unload coal in the
wrong grade bay.
Base stations, which are the hub of the WiFi network, tags and
transmitters are packed in special thermal casing so that the
equipment can operate in extremely low temperatures at the
warehouse.
“The Orange Business Services IoT solution effectively and
efficiently automates the control of the coal unloading zone,
removing the risk of human error. The digitalization of these types
of processes guarantees the highest possible quality of coal
products and reduces costs by reducing manpower requirements,”
explains Alexey Chervyakov, Director for Labor Protection,
Industrial Safety and Ecology, Raspadskaya.
“Our work with Raspadskya shows how connected objects can be a
game changer for an enterprise, increasing operational efficiency
and providing real, tangible business value. We have extensive
experience in the mining industry, and this project highlights how
the power of industrial IoT in automating relatively simple tasks
can make a huge difference to output,” said Richard van Wageningen,
Senior Vice President, IMEAR region, Orange Business Services.
