Avoid over-hyping and tighten security

With the surge in the heat of “5G+ smart mine”, various market players have chased “tuyere”, but the actual effect is thought-provoking. Imported intelligent mining equipment does not have real production capacity, data islands lead to production control platform shelving, a large amount of capital and operation and maintenance costs are “wasted”, “5G+ smart mine” seems to have become a castle in the air…

In this regard, Liu Kun, chief engineer of information technology of Yankuang Group, reminded: “Although the concept of ‘5G+ coal mine’ is very hot, and the enthusiasm of operators and major mining enterprises is very high, there is excessive speculation and false publicity in the actual process.”

“Unlike other industries, coal mining has the potential for extreme risks, and safe compliance is extremely important. On the one hand, the application of 5G in coal mines should actively carry out experiments, and on the other hand, we should seriously consider how 5G should be transformed in a highly dangerous and safety-demanding environment, rather than simply adding a standard.”

In this regard, Gu Meifeng, deputy general manager of Luanchuan Molybdenum Industry Group Co., LTD., pointed out that “5G+ smart mine” should build a whole-process intelligent control system, including safe and effective production, data sharing, whole-process intelligent control, dynamic cost control, preventive forecasting management, and real-time early warning analysis. “Ultimately, we should realize the return of resources to the country, so that there are no difficult mines in the world, so that miners have more dignity, and so that mining safety, environmental protection and high-quality development.”

In addition, Lu Tao, technical director of Oriental Measurement and Control Technology Co., LTD., believes that: “Maintaining industrial stability and enhancing industrial resilience is an issue that mining enterprises must think about in the era of great changes,” 5G+ smart mine “provides strong support for the development of China’s mining industry in the era of great changes, improves the efficiency of capital, labor, resources, energy, environment, big data, and improves the return on investment, corporate profits, employee income, and government taxes.

At present, China has created “technical fulcrum” in UAV, Internet, 5G, cloud computing and other aspects. The mission of “5G+ smart mine” is to connect the “technical fulcrum” into a “line”, stack it into a “surface”, achieve integrated application, make technology drive benefits for the “domestic and international double circular economic development” to provide industrial support, and transform technology into a strong “internal force” for its own development.
