Enhancing the Efficiency of Coal Handling Plant by Introducing GPS Technique
This paper concentrates on the introduction of GPS (Global Positioning System) technique to the Distributed Control System (DCS) based Coal Handling Plant (CHP) to come up with a prevalent and indispensable Optimized (Centralized) control and monitoring system. This method draws a strong, precision, reliable efficient line up for tracking and monitoring dynamic material flow from mines to the loading section of CHP through wireless computer network. Wireless computer network is one of the fastest growing technologies in our culture today. It provides self organization and robustness to the whole system. Through wireless network sensors, the location and position information of dynamic machinery in CHP is gathered by the wireless mesh network. The gathered information across the network is used to construct the global view of the monitoring phenomenon or objects. It provides efficient secure communication between the radio network, application, database and server which in long way serves the purposes of smooth industrial operation and quality process management.
