“The latest research progress indicates that geographic information systems play an important role in the construction of intelligent mines and factories. Experts have proposed the concept and data model of Industrial Geographic Information System (IGIS), and constructed a framework system including equipment layer, data collection and transmission layer, IGIS platform layer, business service layer, and application decision-making layer. The platform has been preliminarily applied in multiple coal mines and coal preparation plants in China, verifying the practicality and feasibility of the system.”
