ENER14001 - Resource Systems Automation Project

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This capstone unit will allow you to apply knowledge in mine design, automation and social innovation to the conversion of a traditional mine site to an automated mine site. You will apply relevant legislation to an audit of the operation’s design elements to ensure they are suitable for automation. Your review will particularly address signals and communications between automated equipment and central dispatching. You will prepare a stakeholder management plan to keep the local community fully advised of potential impacts and proposed socially innovative solutions.
