Develop specifications for the different processes in mining and vertically into higher level mine operation systems for control, information and diagnostic purposes. The basic description of the mining machinery and equipment is supplemented by selected use cases, e. g. longwall conveying, mobile mining machineries and mine operations.
Structure WG and ACG
The structure of the VDMA OPC UA mining Initiative is divided into the Working Group (WG) and the Application Case Group (ACG)

Scope
The OPC UA Companion Specification Mining includes a basic description of the mining machineries and equipment. Main scope is to support the machine to machine communication in the different processes in mining and vertically into higher level mine operation systems for control, information and diagnostic purposes. The basic description of the mining machinery and equipment is supplemented by selected use cases, e. g. longwall conveying, mobile mining machineries and mine operations.
