Abstract

Continuous improvement of production efficiency, safety and reliability of machines’ operation requires implementation of modern technology in the company, including monitoring systems, IT solutions, computer aided management tools etc. Gathering of data describing processes, extraction of information and knowledge discovery in automatic way seem to be key strategy in order to enhance company’s performance in many contexts. In this paper we will refer to the current status of the system being developed in one of the biggest Polish mining companies. A special attention will be paid to signal validation, pre-processing and analysis in order to retrieve unknown knowledge about machine condition, processes executed on a daily basis and machine/operator performance.
