The challenge Raspadskya has is making sure different grades of coal are not mixed. Mixing, due to human error, negatively affects the quality of its product.

Base stations, which are the hub of the WiFi network, tags and transmitters are packed in special thermal casing so that the equipment can operate in extremely low temperatures at the warehouse. "The Orange Business Services IoT solution effectively and efficiently automates the control of the coal unloading zone, reoving the risk of human error. The digitalization of these types of processes guarantees the highest possible quality of coal products and reduces costs by reducing manpower requirements," explains Alexey Chervyakov, Director for Labor Protection, Industrial Safety and Ecology, Raspadskaya. "Our work with Raspadskya shows how connected objects can be a game changer for an enterprise, increasing operational efficiency and providing real, tangible business value. We have extensive experience in the mining industry, and this project highlights how the power of industrial IoT in automating relatively simple tasks can make a huge difference to output," said Richard van Wageningen, Senior Vice President, IMEAR region, Orange Business Services.
