How a truckload of mined mineral leaves the mine legally: weighbridge, e-permit (transit pass) generation, royalty payment and checks at state check-posts.
Drawing diagram…
Mineral dispatch sequence: a truck is weighed at the mine weighbridge with RFID and camera. The mine's system requests an e-transit pass from the state mining portal, which checks the lease's approved quantity and royalty balance. After royalty is paid online, the portal issues the e-pass with QR code. At state check-posts the pass QR and vehicle number are scanned and verified. The receiving plant confirms arrival.

A fleet management system for an open-pit mine: dump trucks and shovels report position and payload, a dispatch engine assigns loads, and a control room watches production live.
The states of a mining haul truck in each load-and-dump cycle, used by dispatch systems to measure productivity and waiting time.
How an underground mine keeps people connected and safe: leaky feeder radio, Wi-Fi, gas sensors and personnel tracking tags, linked to the surface control room.
How mined ore becomes finished metal in an iron and steel chain, in thousand tonnes per month, showing where material is lost.
Where the control systems of a metal smelter run: field instruments, PLCs and a DCS in the plant, a historian, and a separate business network behind a demilitarised zone.
Tables that trace a chemical product batch back to its raw material lots, process steps, quality tests and customer shipments, for recalls and audits.
