Riassunto

Human Systems Integration for Mining Automation is the professional’s guide to understanding the issues, approaches, and pitfalls associated with mining automation from a human perspective. This book delves into a timely and fast-developing issue in mining and the wider minerals industry - the design and deployment of automation.

The book approaches this from a “Human Systems Integration” standpoint in which the technical and human-related aspects are jointly considered as part of an integrated, automated mining system. This accessible and readable title offers a wider Human Systems Integration framework that can be applied to mining projects. It is based on an established framework that has been developed and used successfully in other work. The framework is backed up with information obtained from mines in Australia, the USA, Canada, Sweden, and Chile and original equipment manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, Sandvik and Epiroc. Every reader of this book will recognise the essential benefits of human systems integration for mining automation.

This book will be an ideal read for industry professionals including systems engineers, safety engineers, mining engineers, human factors engineers, and engineers working on developing and deploying automation in mining and related industries including rail, road transport, and process control. It will also be of interest to students, researchers, and academics in related fields.
