Mine + Intelligence: What kind of mine is smart mine

Zhang Hua, General Manager of Mining Industry of Masteel Group: The main practices of Masteel's smart mine include the following aspects: First, it has formulated the "Three-year Plan for Digital Mine" and constructed the "five-level structure" of equipment operation layer, process control layer, production execution layer, enterprise management layer and decision support layer; The second is to use the Internet and the Internet of Things to promote the mining industry cloud computing platform, and use this platform to build an information infrastructure platform to promote the deep integration of information and industrialization of the mining sector; At present, basically more than 70% of the company's 18 production lines have reached digitalization, especially in the field of mineral processing automation and Dandong measurement and control cooperation, 5 selection plants have all realized automation; Fourth, the realization of underground unmanned mining and underground unmanned driving, this system in June this year, many people at the site to observe, a real sense of the realization of the entire line from ore to automatic transportation automation; Fifth, the entire system and plate to achieve ERP, truly realize the production, sales, procurement, finance, performance management system integration, from the business, finance, management integration.

What's the future of technology?

Zhang Yuansheng, director of the Intelligent Mine Center of Beijing Mining and Metallurgy Science and Technology Group Company: It was too early to talk about unmanned mines, but the development of intelligent technology to the current level has reached a new stage of promoting the construction of unmanned mines or unmanned mining. At present, the national "13th Five-Year" key research and development plan has continued to establish projects to support the research of unmanned mining technology. It can be said that at present, from the aspects of technology, equipment and basic conditions of mines, many mines have gradually had the possibility of building unmanned mines.

Yu Guizhen, founder of Beijing Tage Zhixing Technology Co., LTD. : The driverless transformation of mining transport vehicles will be a big market. Especially in open-pit mining areas, the driving route of transport vehicles is basically point-to-point, which is especially suitable for unmanned driving. The mining autonomous robot we are now developing and testing will become the operator of remotely controlled vehicles, so only need to retrofit the traditional vehicle to install the autonomous robot, such intelligent transportation will be much cheaper than directly buying a new autonomous vehicle.

Zhou Yinlun, Chairman of Geology and Mining Equipment Branch of China Mining Federation: Everyone has their own different understanding and opinions on the wisdom of smart mines. Every miner should become a promoter and practitioner of transforming traditional mining with information technology. For mining enterprises, especially large-scale mining enterprises, they should actively explore and practice new mining models such as intensification, continuity and remote control, and promote mining informatization must also be the focus of mining enterprises' transformation and upgrading.
