The new infrastructure helps the mine upgrade, and the era of smart mines has arrived

(3) Coal mine intelligence is a gradual process

Smart coal mine gradually develops from a single system intelligence to a multi-system intelligence direction, and establishes a basic operating framework of "perception → interconnection → analysis → self-learning → pre-detection → decision-making → control", and initially forms a smart mine with spatial digitization, information integration, equipment interconnection, virtual-real integration and control network. With the support of big data technology, the intelligent management and control platform can analyze the operation status of the entire mine and upload it to the cloud platform through the Internet, but it needs to further break core technologies such as data structure optimization and distributed computing to truly achieve cloud computing and achieve production decision-making and management services.

1.4 New infrastructure will help smart mines

The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on March 4 to speed up the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers. Subsequently, governments around the country launched massive new infrastructure investment plans. It can be predicted that the construction of new infrastructure represented by 5G networks, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, and big data centers will significantly accelerate and become a new driving force for China's new round of economic growth.

We believe that the acceleration of new infrastructure development will promote the accelerated transformation and upgrading of China's coal industry and provide good opportunities for the intelligent development of the coal industry. The industrial Internet, big data centers, 5G base station construction, and artificial intelligence mentioned in the new infrastructure will greatly enhance the intelligent level of the coal industry.

1.5 Smart mines have broad prospects for development

The "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Intelligent Development of Coal Mines" proposed that by 2035, all types of coal mines will basically achieve intelligence, build a multi-industry chain, multi-system integration of coal mine intelligence system, and build a smart sensing, intelligent decision-making, automatic execution of coal mine intelligence system. At present, intelligent coal mining is still in the demonstration stage, suitable for better working conditions, with the improvement of the technical level, the next 10-20 years or will be widely used.

According to the intelligent transformation practice of Pingmei Group, the investment of a single coal mine is about 200 million yuan, and the proportion of the entire investment is divided into three parts: infrastructure accounted for 10%, integrated platform accounted for 10%, scraper, transportation and other equipment investment accounted for 80%. At present, the number of coal mines in the country is more than 5,000, and the overall investment scale will reach one trillion yuan, of which the smart equipment market is about 800 billion, and the intelligence-related infrastructure and integrated platform market is about 200 billion.

The investment of 1 billion yuan in a new 10 million ton coal mine: in addition to the intelligent transformation of the existing coal mine, the new coal mine can realize the integration of top-level design, construction, construction and operation and maintenance, and solve the related problems that may be encountered by the smart mine to the greatest extent from the beginning, and realize the intelligent mining more thoroughly. In April 2020, the mining and design Division of Tiandi Science and Technology will cooperate with Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Palasu Coal Industry Co., Ltd. to build a new intelligent demonstration coal mine (10 million ton mine), the project research, design and part of the system construction funds of nearly 50 million yuan, the mine later supporting intelligent system construction total investment of 1 billion yuan.

Smart mines can be applied to non-coal mines, smart cities and other fields. In terms of non-coal mining mountains, there are more than 30,000 in the country, and the risk degree of non-coal mining mountains is no less than that of coal mines, and intelligent development has greater demand. In terms of smart cities, Tiandi Technology Chongqing Research Institute has applied the smart security monitoring system to the field of smart cities.

Second, the policy strongly supports the development of smart mines

2.1 Smart mine has been included in the key support direction

Intelligent coal mining is one of the key energy technology innovation directions supported by the state. On June 1, 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "Energy Technology Revolution and Innovation Action Plan (2016-2030)" action plan, which clarified 15 key tasks for energy technology innovation: First, technological innovation for harmless coal mining. By 2030, intelligent mining will be realized, key coal mining areas will basically realize unmanned working faces, and the mechanization level of coal mining in coal mines across the country will reach more than 95%.
