Business Problem:
There is a need to plan the mining of the lime stones mine so that there we can achieve consistent quality over a long period by properly blending the stone from different sections of the mine.
Project Description:
The project was to develop a software to help a mining engineer to plan for the long term and short term mining. The product consisted of three programs which allowed the mining engineer to input the data from drilling operations, study and analyze the mine deposits as well as simulate mining for the long term and short term periods. The software had 2D and 3D graphics so as to view the mine in various stages of simulation. It cuts down the time required by the mining engineer to plan the operations by over 90% as compared to the manual means

I designed and developed the system (May 93-Jan 94). Used in the following cement plants


1. M/s Naramade Cement Co Ltd.
2. M/s. Himachal Ambuja Cement Co.
3. Sheopura Kesarpura Limestone mines

I interacted with the mining engineer, to conceive, design and develop the whole application

This was a topic of a paper presented in the International seminar

Business Problem:
There was a need to track the equipment used for Pollution control as well as calculate performance of these equipment

Project Description:
The project was to develop a software to facilitate a person to enter the details of the equipment in cement plants around the country and then generate exhaustive reports. It also facilitated calculations of performance of these equipment

I designed and developed the system (July 89-Dec 89). I designed and managed the development of the system. I was also involved in the coding to a large extent

Business Problem:
There are multiple selections possible for selecting mining equipment based on the mine parameters. There was a need to automate and standardize it.

Project Description:
The project was to develop a software which accepts a number of parameters from the user and based on a in built logic, suggests possible mining equipment from a internal database.

Business Problem:
While designing a ventilation system, the duct sizes have to be designed based on a number of parameters. There is a large number of iterative calculations to be done. There was a need to automate this process
Project Description:
The project was to develop a software which the use can interactively construct a graphical duct layout and then perform the required calculations. The final output would contain all the required dimensions to construct the ducting system.

I designed and developed the system (Oct 92-Feb 93). Used in 2 Mini Cement Plants

Business Problem:
There was a need to collect and analyze the field pollution data collected from cement plants and generate suitable reports.

Project Description:
A set of 3 programs was developed to predict the ground level concentrations. The first is based on the mathematical model developed by NCB. The second program permits the study of the effect of various parameters as well as validation of model. The third program permits data entry, report generation as well as drawing of the wind rose diagram (a meteorological parameter)

Business Problem:
Cyclones are dust collecting equipment used in cement plants. There was a need to optimize the design of these equipment. This was done as a Research and Development project of the Institute.

 Project Description:
The software developed permits optimized designs of the cyclone. It consisted of 5 programs to design new cyclones, optimize existing designs as well as study the effect of different parameters on the performance.
