Human Factors in the Development of the Hydraulic System of the Powered Roof Support

Original language description

The growing demand for mineral resources, including hard coal, requires the continuous improvement and development of technologies to improve safety, productivity and performance. The implementation of automation and digitization in mines has been ongoing for several years. Machinery and equipment development and improvement is also ongoing. The authors discuss the development and improvement of powered roof support, which is a critical part of the longwall system. The powered roof support is responsible for the safety of equipment and people working in the longwall. It supports the face and immediate roof and moves the longwall system forward as the shearer removes the coal and the roof collapsing (goafing) behind the shields. The aim of this study was to examine the human factors involved in the development and improvement of the hydraulic support system of powered roof support. The research was carried out among employees in hard coal mines using mainly surveys. The research allowed the authors to examine and analyze the information provided by the miners concerning powered roof support in the era of Industry 4.0 (the Fourth Industrial Revolution). According to the research findings, miners expect improvement in the reliability of the powered roof support, and they want the key operating parameters, especially the required load capacity, to be monitored in real-time so adjustments and improvements can be made. The results of the research point out the needs and expectations of miners. Their opinions should determine the direction and any research gaps into powered roof support.
