Reliability of Mining Machines and Development of the Express – Diagnostic System: State and Prospects

This article summarizes some of the results of our work in terms of considering various issues of reliability of mining machines – mining excavators. In this case, we are talking about the development of the basis, structure and elements of a system for express diagnostics (analysis) of these machines under operating conditions, which should be adjusted for the conditions and capabilities of engineers operating these machines to maintain their state within the framework of homeostasis (in the future, and control their state). In addition, the article presents a scheme that allows describing in an enlarged manner the entire life cycle of a mining machine, taking into account both design and operation. Additionally, there is a list of tasks that the authors plan to solve in the future.
