Abstract
South Africa's coal mining industry is of vital economic importance. T his paper describes some of the major electronic achievements within t hat industry over the past ten to 15 years, Basic design criteria form ulated for systems to be used underground is discussed. The experience gained with the implementation of the systems, especially the human F actor, is examined. Future directions to be followed by some of the re search programs are presented.
