UrBC, Yekaterinburg, November 14, 2019. EVRAZ Holding’s Raspadskaya Coal Company’s managers and lower-level employees all started using the updated version of RUK MPU App (available on both Android and iOS platforms), the company’s PR Department reports.

The first version of the app got launched in 2018. At first, it could only be used to control the target/actual output figures for stoping, mining, and shipping work and the key performance parameters of the mine and the processing plants. A little later, the coalface performance and methane content monitoring functions got added as well.

‘Following our users’ requests, new control parameters got built into the fourth version of the app: key performance indicators for every section of the mine, information regarding the causes of downtimes, the amount of time spent on a shift change, and the number of workers per shift (with a breakdown by specific types of professionals). Additionally, in case methane sensors signal a problem, the users will get a notification similar to a text message. You can also check the footage of all the underground surveillance cameras at all of Raspadskaya Coal Company’s enterprises online. All in all, more than forty different processes can now get controlled through the app,’ the company says.

The latest version of the app has already been relaunched and is used by all of Raspadskaya Coal Company’s managers and workers who need to stay updated on the production situation.
