Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Since ancient times, we have had people who work diligently, people who work hard, people who speak for the people, and people who sacrifice themselves to seek the Dharma... These are the backbone of China." For enterprises, those employees who work diligently at their jobs and strive hard are also the backbone and mainstay of the enterprise. This issue features an exclusive interview with Peng Yun, an automation engineer at Chuangyuan Intelligent's subsidiary. Colleagues unanimously describe Peng Yun as hardworking, simple, and reliable. In 2020, the Jiusteel Xigou Mine Phase 2 roller cone drill rig 5G remote intelligent transformation project was one of the key projects undertaken by the company. Due to the tight project schedule, Peng Yun, as an automation engineer, was sent to the front line - Jiusteel Xigou Mine. Xigou Mine is located in a high-altitude, cold region at an altitude of over 3,000 meters. Even in May, it was still covered in snow and bitterly cold. Because there was no restaurant in the mining area, employees' meals were often transported from the foot of the mountain to the mine by food trucks. Due to the cold weather, most of the heat was lost by the time the food reached the mine. It was in such harsh conditions that Peng Yun stayed for more than half a year. During this period, he independently completed the hardware and software design and debugging work from equipment bottom-level control to remote control, overcoming difficulties such as high-precision positioning of the drill rig, fully automatic pole changing, and autonomous operation. He developed a remote intelligent remote control system for open-pit drill rigs for the company, playing a key role in the completion and acceptance of the entire project. When visiting leaders and colleagues came to visit him, he always had a cheerful smile on his face and never complained of hardship or fatigue. Hard work always pays off. At the end of October 2020, Peng Yun's project, which he had been working on for more than half a year, was successfully completed and accepted. It became the first remote intelligent remote control system in China that integrates vehicles, excavators, and drills. It was showcased multiple times at the Gansu Lanzhou 5G+ New Infrastructure Conference and the 2020 Mining Frontier and Intelligent Information Technology Annual Conference, attracting widespread attention from the mining industry. After Peng Yun's deeds were spread to the company by those around him, his colleagues were deeply touched and inspired. Because of his dedication, hard work, and courage to strive, Peng Yun was selected as the outstanding employee "Star Fire Extinguishing Award" in the 2020 outstanding employee selection, highlighting his personality influence of "using the fire of the spirit to create Chuangyuan's prairie fire." With his words and deeds and personality, he enriched the spiritual lineage of Chuangyuan people and contributed valuable spiritual resources to Chuangyuan's development. Learn from you, Comrade Peng Yun!

From November 18th to 21st, the 2020 Mining Frontier and Informatization and Intelligent Technology Annual Conference hosted by Hunan Chuangyuan was successfully concluded. The sub-forum on intelligent mine construction was packed, and the intelligent mining equipment industrial exhibition attracted widespread attention from participants and media. Li Ping, a reporter from China Mining News, interviewed Chairman Wang Yi on the development of intelligent mining equipment and technology. The interview was included on the official website and WeChat official account of China Mining News. [Picture of Chairman Wang Yi accepting the interview] Original text included on the China Mining News website: Mining is a very ancient industry. The convergence of new-generation information technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and mobile internet with robots and artificial intelligence is bringing about an unprecedented revolution to the global mining industry. Currently, the domestic and international mining industries have entered the best period for the rapid development of intelligent businesses. In fact, the development of intelligent mining did not start today. Starting in the 1990s, Finland, Canada, Sweden, and other countries formulated development plans for "intelligent mines" and "unmanned mines" to gain a competitive advantage in the mining field. The United States conducted research on automatic positioning and navigation technology for underground coal mines and achieved commercialized research results. In 2016, China issued the "National Mineral Resources Plan (2016-2020)", which clearly proposed that in the next 5 years, we should vigorously promote technological innovation in the mining field and accelerate the construction of digital, intelligent, information, and automated mines. Overall, the mining industry has experienced different business formats such as manual mines, mechanical mines, digital mines, and perceptual mines, and is moving towards automation, intelligence, and unmanned operation. As a major mining country, although China's research and development of intelligent mining equipment started relatively late, with the increasing maturity of China's 5G technology, intelligent information systems can already keep pace with those of advanced countries, and even surpass them in some aspects. Experts say that the significance of intelligent mining lies mainly in using modern high-tech to upgrade traditional industries, promoting the development of China's mineral resource development towards high efficiency, safety, greenness, and sustainability, enhancing the core competitiveness of China's mining industry. Under this background, building a national brand of intelligent mining equipment in China is particularly important. The 2020 Mining Frontier and Informatization and Intelligent Technology Annual Conference held in Changsha, Hunan, just ended on November 21st. Regarding the relevant issues of China's intelligent mining equipment, a reporter from China Mining News interviewed Wang Yi, an expert enjoying special government allowances from the State Council and chairman of Hunan Chuangyuan High-tech. Wang Yi said that we should try our best to allow domestic mining enterprises to use suitable, satisfactory, and national intelligent mining equipment and systems. China Mining News reporter: As one of the leading authorities in domestic intelligent mining technology, you have been engaged in research on intelligent mining construction for many years. What is an intelligent mine, and do you have an accurate definition? Wang Yi: Currently, the construction of intelligent mines has formed a boom. The technologies used in intelligent mines are also the technologies promoted and applied in the current new infrastructure, such as industrial internet, 5G, big data, and cloud computing. Under this background, the task of intelligent mine construction is placed before us. The construction of intelligent mines is an inevitable trend. As for the definition of intelligent mines, we must first trace back to the purpose of intelligent mine construction. The purpose is actually very simple: to liberate people from harsh environments and allow mine workers to live and work with dignity. Without intelligent mines, the future employment problems of mining enterprises will be quite difficult, and the overall development of the mining industry will be affected. The so-called intelligent mine is essentially using machines to replace manual labor, reducing labor, and using intelligence to achieve unmanned production. China Mining News reporter: What are the differences between intelligent mining technology and traditional automation? Wang Yi: The most essential characteristic of intelligent mines is autonomous operation. In essence, the concept of "intelligence" has been overused for a long time in the past. True "intelligence" actually needs to have human wisdom and ability. When we talk about "intelligence," we mean using machines and computers to replace human wisdom and ability. Therefore, the "remote control" and "automation" we used to talk about are not strictly intelligent. Automation is based on rule-based, reflex-like instructions; setting known conditions can get predetermined results. Intelligence is the digital structure of human intelligent thinking, a technology that uses deep learning methods to allow machines to imitate and possess human thinking and abilities. China Mining News reporter: As an emerging industry, what were your thoughts and initial intentions when you entered this field? Did you ever consider failure? Wang Yi: The construction of intelligent mines is essentially a need for social development. I once undertook a national research project on intelligent mining equipment in 2012 and have been paying attention to the construction of intelligent mines at home and abroad. Around 2000, many developed countries had formulated plans for intelligent mines and unmanned mines. China's construction of intelligent mines started a little later, and the demand for intelligent construction is even more urgent. Especially considering factors such as mining environmental protection management costs and safety costs, many practitioners have said that safety issues are now a matter of life and death for mines. However, it is difficult to achieve the essential safety of mines without intelligent construction. With this idea and initial intention, we have been committed to the intelligent construction of the mining industry. Using machines to replace human manual labor and computers to replace human brain work, making the work of employees easier, more comfortable, and safer. From this perspective, only intelligence can achieve this. Therefore, this is not only a career I want to pursue, but also a mission I must shoulder. China Mining News reporter: From the current perspective, in the field of intelligent mining equipment research and development, in your judgment, do you think Chuangyuan High-tech is a leader or a forerunner? Wang Yi: I dare not say whether it is a leader or a forerunner. Chuangyuan has always focused on the pain points of mines to develop products and to practically solve practical problems and pain points for mines. In the development of intelligent mining equipment, I am most concerned with the application of research results, not for the sake of being advanced. Allowing products to truly serve mines is our fundamental purpose. For China's mining industry, what we urgently need to solve is the problem of small and medium-sized mines. Small and medium-sized mines account for more than 90% of China's total. Due to high labor density, backward production methods, and insufficient safety measures, the accident rate of small and medium-sized mines is very high. To improve the overall development level of the mining industry, I believe that the top priority is to solve the mechanization problem of small and medium-sized mines, and on the basis of solving mechanization, integrate some intelligent functions into the main functions. This is what Chuangyuan is trying to achieve. Chuangyuan's team has many years of experience in the industry. We understand what mine construction really needs and understand the mine's demand for intelligence and what kind of intelligence is needed. Therefore, I don't think Chuangyuan is a leader, but Chuangyuan's intelligent mining equipment can maximize customer needs and consider the overall intelligent mining solution from the overall efficiency and system of the mine. Whether it is unmanned driving technology or the autonomous operation technology of drilling rigs, Chuangyuan pursues "three uses": "want to use, can use, and easy to use." Chuangyuan does not blindly pursue advancement but practicality, allowing mines to afford it, use it well, and bring substantial benefits. The difference in Chuangyuan's intelligent mining solution lies in the support of three-in-one process, equipment, and intelligent system. Chuangyuan has gathered a group of mining process technology experts, has many years of accumulated experience in mining equipment development, and has professional cooperative teams such as Huawei and China Mobile to do intelligent technology. I believe that Chuangyuan's technology and products can best meet the needs of mining enterprises and allow mines to feel the benefits brought by intelligent technology. China Mining News reporter: Compared with international intelligent mining equipment suppliers, what are the advantages of domestic intelligent mining equipment supply enterprises? Wang Yi: In fact, we have had many competitions with large foreign intelligent mining suppliers. China's mines have certain particularities compared with foreign mines, and there are many restrictions on objective conditions. Therefore, we have closely grasped the actual situation and specific characteristics of domestic mines to carry out technological research and equipment development, so many foreign products are difficult to compete with us. It's not that our technology is absolutely leading, but because we can best meet the needs of domestic mines, which is the fundamental reason for our winning the competition. China Mining News reporter: Currently, many domestic mining enterprises have gone global. If these enterprises use our domestic 5G+ smart mine series products abroad, under the current Sino-US trade war, the United States and some Western countries restrict Huawei from building 5G base stations abroad. As a supplier of intelligent mining equipment, how do we solve such problems? Wang Yi: The birthplace of 5G technology is in China, and it provides a highway for Chuangyuan's smart mine products. How to make our products run faster and safer on the 5G highway is what we need to study. In fact, the 5G+ smart mine solution we built in close cooperation with Huawei was completed through joint discussions. Individual mine solutions are not universally applicable but are different solutions for different mines. Each mine has its own personality. We established a very good cooperative relationship with Huawei and China Mobile very early on. Intelligent mining equipment is impossible without the 5G technology and network services they provide. It's not just Huawei; many of our business partners have provided us with significant technological support, such as our cooperation with the German company Bosch in unmanned driving intelligent technology. I always believe that professionals should do professional things. Using Chuangyuan's mining equipment professional advantages to integrate the professional expertise of multiple disciplines and units can make our products have the most comprehensive functions and be most suitable for mine needs. It is difficult for any unit or individual to concentrate all the best and cutting-edge technologies. Multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary cooperation is crucial. Based on our own most proficient technology, integrating the excellent technologies of other units can formulate product solutions and development routes that best meet customer needs. China Mining News reporter: The Chuangyuan intelligent mine construction sub-venue at the 2020 Mining Frontier and Informatization and Intelligent Technology Annual Conference was packed, with people crowding the aisles, and 40 or 50 people queuing at the entrance. Many people insisted on standing and listening to the meeting even without seats. How do you view this phenomenon? Wang Yi: I am very pleased that everyone has begun to re-recognize intelligent mines. I have always called for intelligent equipment to be the foundation and support of intelligent mines. Equipment, technology, and processes are complementary. Processes and systems and platforms that are separated from equipment cannot achieve the ideal effect of intelligent mines. Only with advanced equipment can intelligent mines be complete. Therefore, after the meeting, many mining enterprise leaders and conference representatives came to communicate and discuss intelligent mining equipment with us, indicating that everyone's understanding of smart mines has deepened and they have realized the importance of intelligent equipment. In the intelligent mining equipment construction sector, we also hope to set an example in China. Currently, there are too few companies in China that do intelligent equipment. There is no competition between intelligent equipment manufacturers, but mutual cooperation and learning from each other's strengths are needed to truly make China's intelligent equipment perfect. Currently, the demand market for intelligent mine construction in China is very broad, and it cannot be completely digested by one or two enterprises. In the past, China was a major importer of mining equipment. Whether we can achieve overtaking on a curve and bring intelligent equipment to the same level as foreign countries is what I care about and the direction I will strive for in the future. China Mining News reporter: As a leader of an intelligent mining equipment enterprise, in your judgment, what level has China's intelligent mine construction reached? Wang Yi: Currently, the state is vigorously promoting new infrastructure, and the construction of intelligent mines fully conforms to the definition of new infrastructure. Many large mining companies are also establishing some demonstration intelligent mines. This is an irreversible trend, a new trend, and a new starting point. On this basis, as a manufacturer of intelligent mine solutions, we have an unshirkable responsibility and will do more work in this field in the future, trying our best to allow our mining customers to use suitable, satisfactory, and national intelligent mining equipment and systems. I think I am full of confidence in this. China Mining News reporter: So, what are your next plans in the field of intelligent mine construction? For example, how far will you lead Chuangyuan, or how far will you lead the intelligent construction of China's mining industry? Wang Yi: Based on Hunan Chuangyuan's business philosophy of "innovation leads to far-reaching achievements," innovation is based on the needs of mines and is continuous and consistent. Chuangyuan's goal is first to solve the mechanization problem of small and medium-sized mines and the intelligent construction problem on the basis of mechanization. At the same time, we also have mechanization and intelligent solutions for large and medium-sized mines suitable for China's national conditions. I believe that by following the needs of mining customers and solving the practical needs and pain points of mines, Chuangyuan will surely achieve long-term development synchronized with the mining industry.
