Advance technology: A train carrying bags of copper concentrate leaves the Erdenet Mining Corp in Mongolia. Unmanned operations, intelligent patrols and remote controls will become the new normal in Mongolian mines in the future. — Bloomberg XIAN: Riding a driverless, rubber-tyred vehicle to a 150-metre deep mine has become a daily routine for miners of Shangwan coal mine in the city of Ordos, North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region. Thanks to the digitalisation of the coal industry, miners no longer need to enter the deep mine shafts via walking or riding on a small, outdated train. “The 19-seat new energy vehicle is equipped with advanced technology like lidar sensors and millimetre wave radar sensors that enable it to run deep into the coalface along a planned route without human operation, which is safer and quicker,” said Shen Fei, director of the mine’s electromechanical information centre. After half an hour, Shen arrives at the coalface and makes a video call to the control centre on the ground. “The full deployment of the 5G network makes instant messaging possible for underground miners,” Shen said. Since intelligent transformation was launched three years ago, Shangwan, with an annual output of 16 million tonnes […]
