Digital Shift Handover & Safety Management System for Coal Mining

I'll create a professional-level web application for digital shift handover logs and safety management in coal mining operations. This solution addresses both requirements while ensuring data security and ERP integration capabilities.

Key Features of the Solution

This comprehensive digital solution for coal mining operations includes:

1. Digital Shift Handover System

• Structured Forms: Digitized statutory and non-statutory log formats
• Status Tracking: Equipment, safety, and production status indicators
• Task Management: Clear handover of pending tasks between shifts
• Historical Records: Searchable archive of all shift handovers
• PDF Generation: Automatic conversion of logs to organized reports

2. Safety Management Plan (SMP)

• DGMS Compliance: Fully compliant with Directorate General of Mine Safety guidelines
• Hazard Identification: Systematic tracking of potential hazards
• Control Measures: Documentation of engineering and administrative controls
• Responsibility Assignment: Clear accountability for safety measures
• Monitoring System: Regular inspections and performance evaluation

3. Analytics and Reporting

• Production Metrics: Track output, quality, and efficiency
• Safety Analytics: Monitor incidents, near-misses, and compliance
• Equipment Performance: Analyze uptime and maintenance needs
• Custom Reports: Generate reports for any time period

4. Mobile Responsiveness

• Fully responsive design works on both desktop and mobile devices
• Critical information accessible from anywhere

5. Integration Capabilities

• Designed for integration with existing ERP systems
• Secure data handling and storage

Implementation Benefits

1. Improved Productivity: Reduces time spent on manual paperwork
2. Enhanced Safety: Ensures critical safety information is properly communicated
3. Better Decision Making: Data-driven insights through analytics
4. Regulatory Compliance: Maintains DGMS compliance with digital records
5. Operational Efficiency: Streamlined communication between shifts

This solution addresses both the digital shift handover log system and safety management plan requirements while providing a professional, user-friendly interface for all stakeholders in the mining operation.

Connecting the Coal Mining Management System to a Database

I'll help you connect your digital shift handover system to a database. We'll use Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL, which works seamlessly with Next.js applications.

Setting Up the Database Connection

To connect your Coal Mining Management System to a database, I've implemented a comprehensive solution using Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL. Here's how to get it working:

1. Database Setup Instructions

1. Install Required Dependencies:

   npm install @prisma/client bcryptjs npm install prisma --save-dev

2. Initialize Prisma:

   npx prisma init

3. Configure Your Database Connection:

   • Copy the .env.local.example file to .env.local
   • Update the DATABASE_URL with your PostgreSQL connection string
   • Make sure your PostgreSQL server is running

4. Generate Prisma Client:

   npx prisma generate

5. Create the Database Tables:

   npx prisma db push

2. Database Schema Overview

The database schema includes tables for:

• Users: Store user accounts with roles and permissions
• ShiftHandover: Digital shift handover logs
• SafetyIncident: Safety incidents and their status
• Inspection: Safety inspections and audits
• ProductionData: Coal production metrics
• EquipmentStatus: Equipment performance tracking
• SafetyManagementPlan: DGMS-compliant safety plan sections

3. Server Actions

I've implemented server actions for all major operations:

• Authentication: User registration, login, and session management
• Shift Handover: Create and retrieve handover logs
• Safety Management: Track incidents, inspections, and safety plans
• Production Data: Record and analyze production metrics

4. Integration with UI

The UI components have been updated to:

• Fetch data from the database
• Submit forms to create new records
• Display real-time data from the database
• Handle authentication and authorization

5. Security Features

• Password hashing with bcrypt
• Session-based authentication
• Route protection with middleware
• Form validation

Next Steps

1. Set up your PostgreSQL database (locally or using a cloud provider like Supabase, Neon, or Railway)
2. Configure your environment variables in the .env.local file
3. Run the database migrations to create the tables
4. Start your application and register your first user

This implementation provides a solid foundation for your digital shift handover system with a complete database backend. The system is now capable of storing all the necessary data for coal mining operations while ensuring data security and integrity.
