Four major mistakes that should be circumvented in the intelligent process of mining

At present, the intelligent construction of China's mining field is deepening, but the overall level is uneven. In the process of intelligent development, there are misunderstandings such as misunderstanding and unclear planning. How to avoid these misunderstandings is of great significance to the intelligent development of the mine field.

At the State Council executive meeting on May 17, 2017, Premier Li Keqiang once again pointed out that "Made in China 2025" pointed out: the development of intelligent manufacturing as the main direction. The United Nations is also praising the smart manufacturing strategy of "Made in China 2025" and calling on other countries to learn. In this context, the mining sector must seize opportunities, deepen reform and development, promote the process of intelligence, and achieve a "double harvest" of safe production and economic growth. At present, the intelligent construction of China's mining field is deepening, but the overall level is uneven. In the process of intelligent development, there are misunderstandings such as misunderstanding and unclear planning. How to avoid these misunderstandings is of great significance to the intelligent development of the mine field.

I. Current status of intelligent development in China's mining field

(1) The industry as a whole is in the primary stage of intelligent development

On the whole, China's mining industry is still in the initial stage of intelligent development, which is characterized by mine informationization and mining automation. Driven by national policy support and technological innovation, the development of the mining industry has taken shape, the industrial chain has been formed, the development of agglomeration is obvious, the breakthrough in technology research and development, the improvement of production efficiency, and the application and promotion effect are remarkable. Difficult for enterprises to invest a lot of capital to carry out short-term mine intelligent building, part of the enterprise demand for intelligent equipment or products is low, the market is difficult to open.

(2) Intelligent products have been initially integrated into the mining field

At present, the mine field has basically built a variety of systems such as safety monitoring and control systems, underground personnel positioning systems, communication and communication systems, as well as communication and transmission networks covering the main production links of the mine. In some modern mines, the underground 4G communication network system was successfully demonstrated, the automated fully mechanized mining face began to be applied, the main transportation system and auxiliary transportation equipment realized intelligent monitoring and control, and the production links achieved centralized control and achieved certain economic and social conditions. benefit. A domestic coal fully mechanized mining outfit intelligent system, for example, a system cost 60 million yuan, but the annual production capacity of 2 million tons of coal, compared with the same type face, prolific 500,000 tons per year Raw coal, an increase in output value of nearly 200 million yuan. At the same time, the system changed the mining mode from a downhole operation of 9 people to a routine inspection of one person, which further improved the safety of production operations and saved more than 5 million labor costs per year.

(3) The gap in the process of enterprise intelligence is large

The scale of enterprises in the mining field in China is quite different, and the stage in the process of intelligentization is also different. Some small and medium-sized mining enterprises are faced with the situation of “thinking smart but not intelligent”. The capital, technology and staffing cannot meet the needs of intelligent mine construction. The progress of intelligence is slow, and there are often contradictions in the work link mismatch, such as signal transmission. The mutual compatibility of the methods is poor, and the security monitoring and early warning system does not have a unified interface.

(4) The space for enterprise intelligent development is broader

With the development of science and technology and technological progress, the connotation of mine intelligence is also deepening and extending, and the construction direction has been extended from the mine to the mining area. From mining to mining area management, we focus on informationization, digitization and automation, integrating application communication, monitoring and monitoring, Internet of Things, cloud computing and other technologies to expand intelligent construction from traditional business management to resource and environmental management and mining production management. In various aspects such as washing and processing management and mine safety management, some mining enterprises with advanced technology as the core have already adopted intelligent technology output as a new economic growth point for enterprises.

Second, the four major misunderstandings in the process of intelligentization of mines in China

(1) Intelligentization by introducing automated production line representatives

In the process of intelligent transformation of some mining enterprises, due to insufficient understanding of intelligent construction and consideration of cost input factors, it is considered that as long as the introduction of automated production lines, production equipment or process systems, mine intelligent construction is realized. The introduction of automated production lines is only the most representative step in the intelligent transformation of enterprises, but not all. The intelligent mine system includes the intelligent construction of the equipment level, the control layer, the production execution layer, the management layer and the decision support layer from the bottom up, and also the unified mine database, standardized data interface, and standardized operation process. And the support of intelligent systems. Any lack of one side will lead to the inability of the advantages of advanced production lines, and the backward production relations cannot match advanced technologies.

(2) The intelligent process seems to be in place

Some mining companies simply believe that as long as the use of advanced technology or equipment, to achieve the mechanization or informationization of key aspects of production, operation, supervision, rescue, etc., to achieve unattended fixed-point, downhole operations personnel, productivity and equipment utilization The goal of reducing the number of security incidents can be intelligent.

(3) It seems that we can catch up with or narrow the gap with superior enterprises.

At present, most of the mining enterprises in China continue to imitate and digest the technology or business model. When they see leading enterprises adopt automated and informatized production lines, they also let their own companies introduce corresponding technologies or equipment. Full consideration of their own needs and active research on key technologies, and no systematic planning and design, resulting in serious production process or equipment and actual needs of the mine.

(4) blindly relying on high input instead of intelligent planning

The intelligent process of mine is a systematic project. It requires manpower, material resources, financial resources and other aspects of input and allocation. Some enterprise managers are blindly investing high without the full awareness of intelligence. Intelligent transformation in a short period of time. As a result, the advantages of advanced processes and equipment have not been fully realized, and can not be interfaced with traditional standard designs. The requirements for production capacity are greater than the requirements for intelligent functions of equipment, which is very important for the future intelligent drive of equipment and system function upgrade. unfavorable.

Suggestions on the intelligent construction of the mine field

(1) Paying attention to the systematic planning and design in the early stage

The systematic planning and design in the early stage is the basic guarantee for realizing the intelligentization of the mine field. Enterprises should conscientiously understand the dynamic development of mines at home and abroad, accurately locate the concept of intelligence, rationalize the implementation of the veins, rationally plan the development direction, system design and construction plans, create a model for the implementation of intelligent mine organization, and eliminate the introduction of a single introduction. Technical or automated production line business model.

(2) Gradually realized and lastingly improved

The intelligent construction of the mine field is a gradual realization, and the process of optimizing and perfecting the mine system for a long time. At the same time of establishing a long-term plan, it is necessary to take the existing foundation of the enterprise as a starting point and gradually carry out the intelligent upgrading and upgrading of the process and technology, which cannot be accomplished overnight.

(III) Forming a R&D transformation and management system

The intelligent process in the mining field needs to proceed according to its actual needs, actively carry out research and development of intelligent technology and equipment, explore new modes of cooperation with universities, research institutes or suppliers, complete intelligent upgrading and transformation, and form a technology research and development system suitable for itself.

(IV) Reasonable investment in manpower, material resources and property The intelligent construction of mines involves the comprehensive input and overall allocation of manpower, material resources and financial resources. In terms of manpower, mining enterprises should increase investment in the training of managers and operators. The content should involve process equipment maintenance and management, intelligent system operation process, etc., to achieve post cooperation and linkage.
