Productivity enhancement in modern conditions is impossible without high-tech management techniques. Development of applications of basic technologies and their introduction in operating production extends their range of use. In this regard, advances of information technologies have furnished them ascendancy in the production control. The Department for Communication, Automation and Informatization provides all business and control units of the Company with the required information and enables control over the entire flow process. For instance, for more efficient use of the transportation system, the Uchalinsky Mining and Processing Integrated Works has introduced the motor-vehicle transport monitoring technology. In the main building of the processing plant, the centralized system of flotation section VI automation and analytical control ASAK-3 informs the processing plant personnel on the parameters of flotation at intermediate levels and allows the operational control of the beneficiation process. Introduced in 2020, the innovative automated energy resources monitoring and registering system (ASKUEN) enables the centralized technical and commercial stock record of trade effluent and service and drink water, as well as heat and gas in subdivisions of the Company. The wireless communication Wi-Fi introduced in the mines of the Company maintains communication with the surface dispatcher control during the working shifts. In the railroad workshop of the Company, the multifunction communication has been installed and the production loudspeaker communication (PLC) has been modernized. The Convention Hall in the Company’s administration building has been equipped with the videoconferencing system (Tanberg).
