Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for data collection in a mining environment are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a system comprising a data storage structured to store at least one collector route and at least one sensor specification; a data collector communicatively coupled to input channels, and providing detection values from the input channels in response to a selected one of each of the at least one collector route and the at least one sensor specification; a data acquisition circuit structured to interpret the detection values from the data collector; a data analysis circuit structured to: analyze detection values; and determine a data collection quality parameter by evaluating at least one of: the at least one selected sensor collector route and the at least one selected sensor specification; and an analysis response circuit structured to adjust at least one of: the selected at least one sensor collector route and the at least one selected sensor specification, in response to the data collection quality parameter.
