The article presents the determinants and limitations of the possibility of implementing longwalls with a high degree of automation in the Polish underground coal mining against the background of similar solutions in the global mining industry. Significant differences in the conditions for mining with longwall systems in Polish conditions and the differences in the planned objectives of longwall automation in Poland were indicated.
