IP Command & Dispatch Communication Requirements

The company comprises the General Manager’s Office, Operations & Finance Department, Enterprise Management Department, Human Resources Department, Production Management Department, Technical Services Department, Public Administration Department, Safety Production Supervision Department, Security Department, multiple mining areas, concentrating plants and other functional departments and workshops. The company needs a unified address book for all on-site dispatch telephones and administrative telephones to lay the foundation for future converged dispatching and other communication applications; internal production dispatch communication in each mine must provide recording, monitoring, forced release, forced insertion, all-call, group call, conference, one-touch call, alarm plan, electronic map and other dispatch functions; interconnection between mines and between the central control room and each mine must be effortless, with the central control room’s large screen displaying the status of each mine and providing map positioning.
 

 

The address books of all departments, mines and workshops are stored in the dispatch system, enabling one-touch dialing for rapid connection to required personnel; the system supports forced insertion and forced release—when a mine or workshop line is busy, the central control room can forcibly insert for emergency dispatching; single or multiple group calls are fast, convenient and efficient, allowing all members of a designated group to be called simultaneously, with personnel joining the conference upon answering to discuss extraction and processing plans, improving efficiency; one-touch alarm and tamper-proof alarm are supported—when an abnormal situation occurs, the system issues an alert containing the alarm source, status and occurrence time, allowing the dispatcher in Shihu Company’s central control room to handle or clear the alarm; the system supports a large-screen electronic map—when an alarm occurs, the alarm location is clearly displayed so that handling plans can be arranged promptly.
