Metamodel of autonomous control architecture for transport process flows in open pit mines

This article focuses on digital transformation of mines within the framework of Industry 4.0. The study aims to formalize proposals on harmonization of a master model of autonomous control architecture for open pit mining. Section 2 of the article discusses implementation of digital transformation approaches and formalization of the master model of architecture of a digital open pit. Section 3 describes the implemented functional metamodel of the digital mine architecture. Section 4 illustrates the proposed architecture modeling. Section 5 holds discussion of the results and further plans of the authors on improvement of the proposed approach. The key distinctions are identified from the research findings to be taken into account or adjusted in implementation of digital transformation of mines, and the particular actions are listed to transform the business-process architecture to a data-centric microservices form. The formal representation of the unified master metamodel of a digital open pit mine architecture to ensure autonomous accomplishment of business-processes is given. The case-studies of the metamodel software implementation and experimental modeling to demonstrate the functional viability of the approach are presented.
