Enterprise asset management system of coal mine equipment basing on cloud computing and workflow

Based on actual production and management situation, this paper investigates an enterprise-level coal mine equipment management system, aiming at solving problems in electrical equipment management in mining companies. The proposed management system fuses the cloud computing framework, the workflow technology and the enterprise asset management (EAM) model. Nine function modules are designed according to the EAM concepts, such as lifecycle management, preventive maintenance, and spot inspection management. A four-layer cloud platform is constructed adopting a three-level cloud service architecture model and two types of cloud deployment. Using a workflow engine to assist in the EAM system, the coal mine equipment management system could flexibly transfer its business processes and effectively manage multi mine equipment at enterprise-level. Take a typical domestic coal mining enterprise as a case, the feasibility and effectiveness of the EAM system of coal mine equipment based on cloud computing and workflow technology is verified.
