## Project Overview

The mining industry is undergoing a transformation driven by advancements in technology. This project contributes to OCP's strategic vision of smart mining by developing an autonomous control system for stackers used in the storage of phosphates. The system provides real-time supervision, efficient decision-making, and optimization of storage processes.





## Architecture

The system architecture integrates various components:

- **PLC (Programmable Logic Controller):** Manages real-time control and automation.

- **HMI (Human-Machine Interface):** Provides operators with a user-friendly interface for monitoring and controlling the system.

- **Remote Supervision:** Enables monitoring and control from a centralized location.

- **Data Management:** Utilizes data from sensors and other inputs to optimize storage processes and ensure system reliability.

## Technologies and Tools

- **PLC Programming:** Using Automation Studio and Step7 SIMATIC Manager

- **HMI Development:** For creating intuitive operator interfaces

- **Simulation Tools:** To test and validate system functionality

- **Data Analytics:** For performance monitoring and optimization
