Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention belongs to the field of information technologies, and particularly relates to an optimized decision-making system and method for multiple ore dressing production indexes based on a cloud server and mobile terminals.

2. The Prior Arts

Currently, in the ore dressing production in China, production process control is mostly limited to local control: different stages of the production process are controlled by separately building respective engineering stations in different regions of a plant. However, this way has the shortcomings that the construction cost is high, maintenance is difficult, potential safety hazards exist, production statuses are inconvenient to monitor, and dynamic management and optimization are difficult to perform.

In ore dressing production, the working procedures are interrelated and coupled each other, but a conventional control system ignores the relation, so that the conventional control system is difficult to coordinate all the working procedures, the potential of a production line cannot be completely realized, and the whole process of planning cannot be made; besides, the decision-making optimization objective of a conventional ore dressing optimization system is not comprehensive enough. For example, only single index such as efficiency or cost is considered, but other indexes such as resource consumption, energy consumption and yield are ignored.

The conventional control system retains the collected production process data and historical data in the engineering stations, so that the production data is incomplete and easy to lose, the overall status of the production process cannot be get systematically, and a reliable basis cannot be provided for the decision-making of multiple production indexes.

The management team, engineers and researchers need to monitor the production and decision-making process, and give decision-making commands through a specific computer. Both time and places are limited, so that real-time interaction between the time, the places and the production process cannot be realized.
