Abstract

According to characterization studies, this area of the country (Norte de Santander) has the best bituminous coals for thermal and metallurgical use, both for domestic consumption and for export. In the region we have medium and large mining companies which generate a large amount of income for our municipalities through sources of employment for the exploitation and commercialization of mineral coal in an artisanal way. The lack of state-of-the-art technology has influenced productivity, which is why this project was based on the need to improve production processes, profitability, industrial safety, among others; which led to the design of a monitoring station to control the entry/exit of wagons and personnel in the San Salvador mine located in the village of Páramo KDX Sta. Helena 134 A - 1 in the municipality of Pamplonita. Which did not have the necessary automation in its mineral coal extraction processes, as well as the automated controls for the entry and exit of the personnel that work, a fact that leads to the realization of the project to develop and improve the performance and efficiency of the process. coal extraction. Among the strategies and tools applied for the first time were: a monitoring system to control the entry and exit of wagons in the mine, and assistance control for the personnel who work in the mine, both in order to improve effectiveness and efficiency. in the extraction processes, personnel management and fulfillment of objectives, in general to strengthen the management and work in the mine. The benefits that the implementation brought are notorious, it was possible to know quickly and truthfully the daily production of mineral coal and the control of the personnel that work in the mine.
