Title: Development of a new solution for monitoring coal stocks in the patio of UTE Pécem based on an automatic system of aerial data acquisition.
Agent Fincanciador: ANEEL-EDP Energia Pecém
The overall objective of the project is the development and implementation of an automatic monitoring system for lifting the volume of mineral coal stocked in the courtyard of PPTM Pecém. Such a system will allow daily monitoring, without the need for downtime in the operation of the forklift machines-retouching the coal yard. The acquisition of data in the coal stacks will be carried out automatically by an industrial VANT equipped with LIDAR sensor and advanced control strategies for planning and tracking of trajectories. The collected data will be sent to a computer where the volume calculation of the coal yard stacks will be automatically performed. This system and developed methodologies aim to contribute to the reduction of errors in the estimation of coal stocks, allowing the increase of the productivity of the field teams and the improvement of the management and control of the coal yard of the PPTM in the CTE do Pecém.
