231 CONCLUSION Through ICCC, WCL is setting a benchmark in the Indian coal sector by embedding smart technologies into core operational processes. The initiative has significantly improved stakeholder confidence and operational discipline. The Integrated Command and Control Centre has reduced the cost associated with deploying security intelligence manpower. IIoT projects has proven advantageous by enabling faster decision-making and improving operational efficiency in coal mining. AI/ML–based analytics are contributing to safer mining practices. The implementation of RFID systems at weighbridges and check-posts has automated dispatch management, resulting in time savings and increased coal dispatch volumes. The ICCC continues to evolve as a model of integrated surveillance, data-driven decision-making, and proactive governance in the mining industry. REFERENCES 1.
