Abstract: In order to realize the scientization , intelligentization and rapidity of equipments type selection in the geological conditions of complex working face, a set of mining equipment selection criterion was summarized according to field experience and statistical data, the equipment selection criteria was more quantitative, and the inference engine was programmed by LabVIEW tools, the equipment database was called by program to select the reasonable equipment to adapt to the working conditions

Key words: continuous miner, equipments type selection, expert decision making, match performance
