The VIST Group ecosystem involves many technological solutions, in particular the VG Underground project, which I developed. With the help of suitable transport computers and algorithms that could work in underground production conditions, I automated the process and was able to solve the problem of calculating the productivity of a fleet of equipment that works underground, as well as keeping records of the movement of the volume of extracted minerals.

The developed algorithms represent an innovative solution in the field of accounting for technological operations for underground machines, increasing the efficiency and transparency of work. As I have explored new possibilities by developing my own algorithms and hardware solutions, it demonstrates my innovative approach and technological leadership.

The ecosystem includes IoT devices and sensors installed on mobile objects, which allows data to be collected in real time. This data is primarily processed using edge computing technologies directly on board the mobile object, providing high processing speed. Further, using wireless Wi-Fi networks, data is transmitted to cloud servers. As a result, based on this information, the product provides users with dashboards and reports.
