Smart production systems are central to mining digitalization, encompassing intelligent primary production (automated mining faces) and intelligent auxiliary production. For coal mines, this involves unmanned longwall mining and tunneling; for non-coal mines, it includes smart blasting or automated mechanical excavation. By integrating IoT, 5G, AI, and big data analytics, these systems automate workflows and enable intelligent, coordinated operations.
Four Pillars of Smart Mining Production
Unmanned Operations & Smart Equipment
Autonomous haulage systems (AHS) and remote-controlled excavation enable "reduced-manning" or fully unmanned operations. With CPDEVICE’s 5G onboard devices, mines deploy driverless fleets to automate "extraction-hauling-dumping" cycles, cutting labor costs while boosting efficiency.
5G & IoT Connectivity
Private 5G networks + V2X technology enable real-time data transfer and machine interoperability. Widely deployed in mines, CPDEVICE-powered "5G + Smart Mine Cloud Platforms" integrate:
- 3D visualization
- Autonomous control systems
-
Personnel positioning
→ Enabling dynamic, full-scene monitoring.
Big Data Analytics & Predictive Maintenance
Sensor-collected equipment data + cloud analytics predict failures before they occur. Practical example: Smart mining systems generate real-time alerts for overspeed/pressure anomalies, optimizing asset lifecycle management.
Intelligent Dispatch & Cross-Process Coordination
AI algorithms optimize task allocation and resource scheduling. Case in point: State Power Investment Corporation’s "Integrated Command Software" uses smart scheduling models to synchronize AHS and shovel operations.
