Automated Pit Slope Stability Monitoring

Enhance mine safety and operational efficiency with our Automated Pit Slope Stability Monitoring workflow. This advanced mining management process leverages real-time sensor integration, geotechnical data analytics, and automated alerting to detect early-stage slope deformation. Streamline pit wall surveillance, reduce manual inspection risks, and optimize tailings and open-pit stability management with predictive insights designed to prevent costly slope failures and ensure uninterrupted production.

1. Fetch Sensor Readings
2. Retrieve Threshold Limits
3. Calculate Velocity of Movement
4. Calculate Factor of Safety (FoS)
5. Determine Alert Status
6. Average Daily Movement
7. Update Sensor Status
8. Trigger Visual Inspection Task
9. Create Maintenance Work Order
10. Notify Site Manager (Alert)
11. Emergency SMS Alert
12. Log Incident Report
13. Generate Daily Stability Report
14. Clear Resolved Alerts

Start of the Workflow/Process.

Retrieve the latest displacement and pore pressure readings from the Pit Slope Sensor data model.

Fetch the predefined safety threshold values (Alert and Alarm levels) from the Site Safety Configuration model.

Calculate the rate of change in displacement by comparing the current reading to the previous reading.

Execute a formula using pore pressure and displacement data to estimate the current stability ratio.

Compare calculated velocity and FoS against the retrieved threshold limits to determine status (Green, Yellow, Red).

Calculate the average displacement across all sensors in a specific pit sector over the last 24 hours.

Update the 'Last Checked' timestamp and 'Current Health' status in the Sensor data model.

Create a high-priority task for the Geotechnical Engineer if movement exceeds the 'Alert' threshold.

Create a task for the Maintenance Team if a sensor reports a low battery or hardware error.

Send an email notification to the Site Manager containing the summarized stability report when thresholds are breached.

Send an urgent SMS to the Pit Supervisor and Safety Officer if the 'Alarm' (Red) threshold is triggered.

Create a new entry in the Incident Log data model whenever a threshold breach occurs.

Generate a PDF summary report of all sensor trends and stability metrics for the previous 24-hour period.

Delete transient alert notifications from the active 'Active Alerts' data model once the stability issue is resolved.

End of the Workflow/Process.
