Digital technologies in modeling and design of mining excavators

Abstract

Abstract Development and application of digital technologies at the stage of new model design is highly relevant. Manufacture of a testbed vehicle and its full-scale pilot testing is impossible for Russian manufacturers of mining excavators due to a high cost of a prototype and a lack of special testing grounds. In order to reduce the risks of machine builders as vehicle manufacturer and those of MPPs as users of the prototype excavator, it is necessary to introduce and develop the digital twin technology at the stage of designing new models. A general reference point in development of the digital twin of a mining excavator is minimizing human input. Due to integration of works by stages of creation of the digital twin in a form of an information diagnostic system, there is a possibility to manage the life cycle of the product and optimize MRO with accounts of actual conditions and operating modes.
