While creating new or upgrading already functioning production, problems of analysis of multiple technical and organizational options and the choice of optimal solutions arise. Currently, equipment is designed based on past experience and intuition, and technology parameters are calculated by taking serious assumptions. Also options calculated in statics can give quite different results in dynamics, and the neglect of random factors may in fact give substantial deviations from planned

... e. Application of the developed software will speed up and improve the quality of engineering design of the machine-building process and coal processing plants, as well as exclude expensive technological risks. The main result is a new specialized software product that allows one to interactively simulate various options for engineering and coal processing plants in the dynamics with the possibility of taking into account the random factors and automatically select the optimal variant of technical and organizational solutions. The originality of the proposed solutions is to develop simulation models that display a variety of options of production and different mapping associated equipment in time and space, as well as the development of a unique specialized software product that allows one to interactively simulate various production options, with the ability to automatically select the optimal variant of technical and organizational solutions.
