“Unmanned”To“Smart Mine”


China is a big mining country.,It has a large number of various mines.。Especially in coal mining.,The proportion of medium and large open-pit mine production is very important.。According to the public data released by China Coal Industry Association,,By the end of 2022,There are 357 opencast coal mines nationwide.,There are more than 30 ten-million-ton open-pit mines.,Total capacity up to 11.6.2 billion tons。The average annual production capacity of each open-pit coal mine is 3.25 million tons.,About three times that of the underground mine.,To account for about 8 percent%The number of coal mines contributed to the national 23.%Coal production。

However, the open-pit mining area and the whole mining industry are also facing some practical problems.。The first is security,Landslides often occur in mining areas.、The threat of natural disasters such as collapse。Relatively adverse weather and environmental conditions,Uch as extremely high or low temperatures,It also brings troubles to practitioners.。Secondly,Employees in mining areas are also facing a long-term shortage.。At the same time,Traditional manned transportation industry has a long training cycle.、And that work intensity is high,Boring、The boring and closed working environment is not attractive enough for the new generation.。At the same salary level,Young people are also more willing to seek employment opportunities in other industries.。Although mechanized、Continuous introduction of automation equipment,Reduced manual participation in the traditional mining industry,However, it still fails to meet the huge production demand.。With 5GNetwork、Artificial intelligence、The rapid iteration of new generation information technologies such as cloud computing,Traditional mining industry is also facing digitalization.、Intelligent transformation。“Unmanned”It is“Smart Mine”The basis of this overall concept。Ma Wei said,In this process.“No one”It's the highest standard.,Also the lowest threshold。First,Driverless mine car operation keeps employees away from the front line of operation,Significantly reduce the number of personnel in high-risk areas,Thereby reducing the possibility of accidents.,Greatly improve the safety of the industry。Secondly,The driverless mine car can realize all-weather continuous operation.,It breaks through the limitation of working hours in traditional mining industry.,Significantly improved transport efficiency and productivity。In addition,The driverless mine car can be integrated into a digital and automated mine management system.,Realize the optimal allocation of resources、Path planning and job scheduling,So that that overall operation efficiency is improve。Precision operation and energy saving and emission reduction under fine management can also greatly reduce the environmental pollution caused by traditional mining.,Make the industry greener。There are also two difficulties in building a complete intelligent mine operation and management system.,One is the tool side.,How to digitally upgrade mine tools and production processes,Including digital monitoring of unmanned equipment and production processes。The second point is the data side.,How to integrate bicycle data with cloud analysis platform、The operation service platform data is integrated in the same system.,Intelligent decision-making based on real-time data,Using artificial intelligence to analyze data to make scientific management decisions,So as to complete the integration of interaction and collaboration of various operation links of the mine.。To this,Ma Wei said frankly,Where is Sanyi Zhikuang?“Hardware”And“Software”All aspects have received tremendous help.,So that we can more firmly take the step of pioneering.。

Tool side,Heavy industry gene guarantee“Hard power”


In our country,The cost of open-pit mining operation is mainly concentrated in mining.、Yun、Arrange the operation link,Whether it is the production end or the transportation end.,It is inseparable from the use and support of related equipment.。At the same time,Intelligent mines under digitalization require more precise equipment.,Not only does it require a single device to operate freely,,It is also necessary to ensure the real-time response and coordination of all links.。In terms of driverless wide-body Vehicles,There are, for example, wire-controlled chassis.、Perceptual fusion、Intelligent scheduling、Planning Control and 5GIntegration of multiple technologies and equipment such as transmission。In the early stage, most of the solutions of domestic manufacturers and head mining enterprises focused on the intelligent modification and upgrading iteration of existing host equipment in cooperation with relevant technology companies.,Lack of ability to manufacture forward loaded Vehicles on a large scaled。“And domestic、Compared with foreign friends.,Sany can provide complete sets of mining equipment.,That's one of our strengths.。”Ma Wei said so。From Sany Intelligence Mine“Birth”Decided to have“Heavy industry”It's genetic,Capable of completing the production of unmanned front loading equipment。Established in 1994, Sany Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. has provided the market with Concrete Machinery for traditional earthwork operations for a long time.、Excavating Machinery、Hoisting machinery、Road Construction Machinery、Piling Machinery and a full range of products,Guarantee the quality and capacity of new equipment to meet the needs of the user side of the market。At the level of technology research and development,Sany Heavy Industry's manufacturing experience and R & D team can also support Sany Intelligent Mining in new technologies.、Development of new products。So as to realize that Sany Intelligent Mine has the ability to provide its own intelligent mine plan on the basis of traditional mechanical products.“Act according to one's own circumstances”,Create a landing plan for normal operation。Launched by Sany Intelligence Mine in 2019SKT90EiMining unmanned pure electric wide-body dump Truck as an example,It not only meets the needs of intelligent mines in transportation equipment.,Its new energy power also significantly reduces emission pollution caused by traditional diesel-powered Vehicles.。This not only improves the operational efficiency of the mine,,It also helps to achieve low carbon.、Green mine construction target。

Data side,Join hands with head cloud service providers to create future solutions


In the construction of smart mines,Hardware devices such as driverless Trucks、Intelligent Excavator、Monitoring equipment plays the role of basic carrier.,It is the physical basis for the realization of intelligent mines.,Behind it“ Soul ”It is the core intelligent cloud technology and data-driven decision-making system.。By integrating advanced sensor and communication technologies in hardware devices,Large amounts of real-time data may be collected and transmitted to a central processing system,Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms analyze and process the data.。Data-driven decision systems can also be based on long-term data analysis.,Make suggestions for improvement,For example, the best time for equipment maintenance、The optimal scheme of resource utilization, etc.,Realize the efficient operation of smart mines。For the operators of intelligent mines,The establishment of digital intelligent whole platform system needs to cooperate with excellent cloud service providers in advantageous areas.“Cross-border cooperation”。For example,In the harsh environment of the mine,Any delay and instability may lead to major safety incidents.。Early“Driverless”In the mine car scene,Real-time images and business operations cannot be synchronized with low latency、Low packet loss,The transmission of picture information to the remote cockpit screen needs to go through such as camera acquisition.、Coding、Network transmission、Decode、Rendering and other links,The average latency in the industry is around 300 milliseconds.。And such a delay,Means,If the vehicle is moving at 30 kilometers per hour,,Causes the remote driver to see the distance of the vehicle from the obstacle on the screen,2 farther than the actual physical distance between the two.5 meters,This will affect the driver's judgment.,Bring potential safety hazards and reduce driving efficiency。Such security risks also force early.“Driverless”Mine car,Safety officers are still required to sit in the vehicle to monitor and take over.。Only latencies below 200 ms,So that people don't have to get on the bus.,The perception of the remote cockpit is close to the experience of on-site driving.。It can also avoid the failure of automatic driving.,Vehicle cannot be taken over by remote system。

Sany Intelligent Mining has chosen to cooperate with Tencent Cloud, a leading cloud service provider in China.,Built 5GRemote real-time control products and solutions。“Audio and video transmission is the core technology that we can not bypass.。In the communication with Tencent Cloud,We know that Tencent Cloud has such technology.,The time delay can be within 100 milliseconds.,Compared with many friends, it has more advantages.。”Ma Wei Explains Cooperation with Tencent Cloud,“It may be nothing to the communication industry.,But at the industrial level,,100 milliseconds means a lot.。” Because it is related to the safety of mine card remote driving.。

Tencent Cloud's technological strength is also the key to this cooperation.。Twenty yearsCTechnology accumulation in the end market,Tencent cloud audio and video has built a global Tencent cloud.RT-ONE™Audio and video communication network,Industry-leading integrityPaaSPlatform,More than 100 scenario application practices have been derived.,Meet the high requirements for time delay and stability in the industrial field。In cooperation with Sany Intelligence Mine,In the words of Wang Jun, deputy general manager of Tencent's cloud audio and video business.:“We are most concerned about two indicators, one is called ultra-low delay.,The second one is called Caton.。”In order to solve the problem of image transmission when the mine car moves in the unstable wireless signal environment.,Tencent Cloud uses 5GAudio and video transmission technology,Independently developed a series of solutions。These programmes include the 5GCongestion control enhancement technology based on、High Dynamic Rate Control Technology for Mobile Environment,And an anti-packet loss enhancement technology for the link.。In addition, for the operation,In the initial stage, the first-line driver fed back that the two-dimensional visual picture lacked depth information.,Problems affecting the efficiency of remote operation in some scenes,Tencent Cloud Spent Half a Year Tackling Big Angle Naked Eye 3DVideo transmission technology,And applied to the ground,On-site feedback satisfaction has been significantly improved。

Work hard with one heart,Help the industry develop

Establishment of Sany Intelligence Mine,It is the first time to realize the R & D and commercial operation of the whole unmanned front loading equipment in the mining industry.。Integration of Group and external resources of Sany Intelligence Mining,It has created a set of smart mine solutions recognized by the industry and customers.。This achievement marks the transition from the experimental modification phase to the commercial phase of the forward design。But in Ma Wei's opinion,,The innovation and progress of the industry and the achievement of intelligent goals will never be due to one.、Two-party participants and“Cross-border”Collaborators can be realized.。The healthy development of the industry needs more forces to join.,Construct the long-term social responsibility consciousness of the whole industry,Practitioners should not be just for commercial gain.,More attention should be paid to long-term investment and social value.。He expects more excellent enterprises to participate in competition and cooperation.,Jointly promote industry progress。Wang Jun also said,The cooperation sample of Tencent Cloud and Sany Intelligence Mine provides a reference for large-scale replication in the domestic industry.,Accelerate industry development。Tencent Cloud will actively work with Sany and other partners in the future.,Coordinate upstream and downstream win-win development,Promote standardization and digitalization of the industry。
