Joint efforts yield results: President Zou Laichang leads a team to investigate Zijin-Chuangyuan's cooperation on the country's first underground unmanned mine

2023-03-09

Recently, President Zou Laichang of Zijin Mining Group led a team to Shanxi Zijin Project to investigate the first domestic underground unmanned mining site jointly developed by Zijin Mining Group and Hunan Chuangyuan.

On the day of the investigation, President Zou Laichang inspected the Shanxi Zijin Central Control Center and observed the remote intelligent operation of underground shaft drilling, unmanned operation of mining drills, and unmanned driving operation of loaders. Afterwards, Chairman Wang Yi accompanied President Zou Laichang to go deep underground to conduct on-site investigations of the intelligent down-the-hole drill independently developed by Hunan Chuangyuan. UMD6i President Zou Laichang stated that the intelligent project jointly developed by Shanxi Zijin and Hunan Chuangyuan has overcome numerous difficulties and achieved remarkable results. He expressed his hope that everyone will continue to work hard to complete the glorious and arduous tasks entrusted by the Group.

As a leader in China's mining industry, Zijin Mining Group has always been at the forefront of building green, safe, efficient, and intelligent mines, leading the upgrading and transformation of China's mining industry.

Therefore, Zijin Mining Group specially collaborated with Hunan Chuangyuan to jointly build the first large-scale unmanned mining site in China, utilizing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and intelligent robots, while also through 5G+ bare-eye 3D research on remote visualization technology, to achieve real-time dynamic visualization monitoring of on-site operation scenes and deep reproduction of operation scenes, as well as automatic tracking of equipment status, automatic tracking of fault warnings, etc., ultimately achieving the digitalization and intelligence of the entire process and cycle of mine mining operations, which is an "organic combination" of industrialization and informatization, and is the essence of "Internet + Mines," ultimately achieving safe, efficient, intelligent, and autonomous operation of unmanned mines.

It is reported that the project has initially achieved fully intelligent mining of underground non-coal mines, and is expected to be 3 completed at the end of the month. At that time, Shanxi Zijin will achieve indoor operation and remote control of the production process, helping a large number of miners stay away from harsh working environments such as deep wells, high temperatures, and rock bursts, fundamentally solving the problem of safe production; promoting the intellectualization of technical teams, the scale of ore mining, and comprehensive industrial upgrading, significantly improving production capacity, and reducing production costs.

At the same time, this project will also become a benchmark project for the construction of intelligent mines in China, providing new inspiration and valuable experience for numerous mining enterprises and mining equipment enterprises, while also driving the extension and development of industrial chains such as network information and mechanical manufacturing, promoting the leapfrog development of the mining industry, and realizing the dream of Zijin Mining Group and Hunan Chuangyuan to serve the country and strengthen the country through mining.
