Abstract

A control system was developed for raw material yards of the works of a metal industry. It is devoted to the automatic operations of the raw material yards stackers, and to the improvement of the stacking method to stack granular coal uniformly. The system automatically controls the stacking operations without human intervention, and also prevents any collision between cranes, stackers, jibloaders and the level-roughing cranes.
