In recent years, Hami City has regarded mine intelligence as the core technical support for promoting the high-quality development of the industrial economy. With the goal of improving the intrinsic safety level of mines, it has accelerated the promotion of "5G + smart mines" and created a "safe, efficient, green, and intelligent" modernization. mine.

On February 25, in the dispatch center of Xinjiang Yakes Resources Development Co., Ltd., the information management platform covering the whole process of mining and beneficiation is displaying the operation status of mining and beneficiation in real time through the LED screen. Through intelligent construction, the recovery rate of ore dressing has been significantly improved, and the comprehensive energy consumption of ore dressing will be reduced to the lowest level in China. Just now, the company has completed the construction of the 5G+ smart transportation project.

In recent years, the company has implemented the "Mine IoT Technology Integration and Engineering Demonstration-Xinjiang Yax IoT Integrated Management and Control Cloud Platform" of the national key R&D program "Mine Safety Production IoT Key Technologies and Equipment R&D", which will be successful in 2021. It has passed the acceptance of national key R&D projects. The combination of the newly built 5G + smart transportation project will further improve the intelligent management level of the mining area.

"The 5G+ smart transportation project has now entered the trial operation stage. We take advantage of the low latency, high broadband, wide connection and other characteristics of 5G to run the unmanned electric locomotive project underground. The implementation of the project has greatly improved the safe working environment and improved It improves the working conditions of employees and improves the efficiency of ore transportation capacity. The later plan is to carry out the remote control within the sight distance of the scraper, the remote control of the beyond line of sight, and the underground rock drilling rig, including the riveting trolley and the support trolley. Use, to empower the company's automation construction, especially in production and operation." said Lai Changlin, manager of the automation information department of Xinjiang Yakes Resources Development Co., Ltd.

The newly built project is integrated with the original management platform, fully applying modern information technology, cloud computing technology and process equipment chain technology, and through visual configuration, the data integration and control of 18 subsystems of mining and beneficiation are realized, and the production In-depth mining of data and safety data can also assist managers to comprehensively and intuitively grasp the real-time production status of the company, thereby improving the efficiency of mine production management and safety supervision capabilities.

At present, the era of digital economy has fully opened, and digital transformation has become a means for many companies to embrace the digital wave and enhance their competitiveness. The mining industry has become one of the most widely used fields of "5G + Industrial Internet".

"The transmission delay of 5G will be very low. One base station allows more than 500,000 IoT objects to be connected to our 5G, ensuring that the well-worker's system is a network, so as to achieve fewer people and ultimately achieve Unmanned operation ensures safe production in mines," said Chai Yongfeng, general manager of the Industrial Internet Division of China Telecom Xinjiang.

Non-ferrous metal mining has the characteristics of multi-element resource symbiosis, complex environment, high safety management pressure, increasing mining difficulty, and high labor risks. After these mining operations use 5G technology to achieve digitalization and intelligence, it can comprehensively improve the mine's safety assurance capability and efficiency. Safe production operation efficiency.

"Through the construction of smart mines, we have realized mechanized replacement, automated reduction of personnel, and intelligent unmanned personnel, and comprehensively improved the level of safe production in mines. At the same time, we will guide communication companies to give full play to their own advantages and provide reliable information guarantees for the construction of "5G + smart mines"; Technical service enterprises actively develop new products to further improve production safety, mining efficiency, and resource utilization in mining areas. All mining enterprises are required to play a major role, formulate implementation plans that conform to their own actual conditions, and list timetables, task books, and routes. Figure, to promote the construction of "5G + smart mines" with high standards and high quality." said Shang Bin, director of the Planning and Investment Section of the Hami Bureau of Industry and Information Technology.

Up to now, nearly 600 5G base stations have been built in Hami City, which has basically achieved full coverage of the main urban agglomeration areas. This year, Hami City adheres to the principle of "government guidance and enterprise leadership", promotes the application of advanced information technology, and according to the overall deployment of the municipal government, plans to build 460 key 5G base stations this year to actively carry out 5G construction for mining enterprises, and promote "5G + smart mines" , to accelerate the pace of industrial and mining enterprises' transformation and development towards digitalization and intelligence.
