228 CHAPTER 2: IMPACT OF ICCC (BEFORE & AFTER) ANALYSIS Domain Before ICCC After ICCC Operations 1. Depended on physical inspections and ground-level feedback. 2. No real-time centralized access to monitor haul roads, OB faces, benches, dumps, blasting, HEMM movement, or water evacuation. 3. Certain mine locations were inaccessible for physical inspection. 1. PTZ cameras and drones enable real-time monitoring of coal extraction, HEMM movement, water evacuation, and mine conditions. 2. By enabling remote monitoring, virtual inspections reduced dependency on frequent manual visits and ensured accessibility even in difficult terrains. 3. Real-time virtual inspection through drone based aerial survey eliminates the need for physical visits to remote or unsafe areas while also ensuring 100% coverage of mining zones. Logistics & Dispatch 1. CCTV at weighbridges/ check-posts operated in isolation; no centralized monitoring or AI/ML analytics. 2. Human intervention (Manual punching of data) in weighment and boom barrier caused delays and errors. 1. IP cameras integrated at ICCC for centralized monitoring. 2. AI/ML analytics implemented for auto alerts. 3. RFID-based weighment and boom barriers automated, minimizing human intervention. Safety & Environmental Compliance 1. No 24×7 monitoring of safety SOPs (use of PPE, LMV red flags, separate roads). 2. Environmental monitoring & compliances (hazardous gases, dust suppression, covering of coal truck with tarpaulin) was local/manual. 3. Plantation assessment & verification for EC compliance was difficult, based on physical visits. 3. Fire in coal stock or unsafe practices were reported manually or went unnoticed. 1. Centralized 24×7 Safety & Environment monitoring. safety alerts are auto generated, warranting quick action. 4. Drone data enables real-time continuous monitoring of Environmental compliances such as – dust suppression and plantation, helps to detect unsafe conditions/practices such as – poor road conditions, water accumulation, and improper OB dumping etc., thereby improving operational oversight and verify environmental compliance. Security & Pilferage Prevention 1. Localized GPS/GPRS tracking without autoalerts, causing delayed responses. 2. Heavy reliance on on-site guards to prevent theft/pilferage. 3. Delay in flow of information. 4. Delay in inter-department coordination. 1. CCTV surveillance helped dependency on security manpower thus rationalizing their deployment. 2. Centralized cross-verification of GPS devices and geofencing via ICCC. 3. Real-time vehicle tracking with auto-alerts ensures faster response. 4. AI/ML-powered analytics (including ANPR) for anomaly detection. 5. Impact: Quick Response Teams (QRTs) of Security able to act promptly. 2. Drone feeds complements the PTZ/CCTV based surveillance to identify security breaches/loopholes for improvement where ground surveillance is not feasible, thereby enhancing security. MIS & Incident Management 1. Data on vehicle trips, weighments, reconciliation not available on a single platform. 2. Incident response (e.g., coal stock fire, vehicle accident) depended on ground manual reporting. 1. ICCC integrates all anomaly data, trips, dispatch details, and ATRs into a single dashboard. 2. Incidents identified in real-time with faster response coordination. 3. Real time data available to management for improved and faster decision-making.
