At present, it is a national strategy to further promote the intelligent construction of mines. It has become a trend to promote the application of robots in the field of mines to achieve less human and unmanned mining operations and better serve the development of mine safety and high quality. In line with the general trend of development, North China industrial control has launched a special embedded AI product scheme for robots.
The market demand for mining robots is rising
According to statistics, the scale of China’s mining industry has ranked first in the world, with about 28000 mines. Due to the problems of poor working environment, high risk factor, high intensity of physical labor, low efficiency of manual operation and difficult recruitment, China’s mining industry urgently needs to transform to green, intelligent and clean. Based on this, it has become an industry consensus to use intelligent equipment such as robots to replace manual operations, realize the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and traditional mining, and develop smart mines.
At the same time, China’s mine intelligent standard system and relevant regulations and standards for the application of “robot+” have been continuously improved, which has pressed the acceleration key to accelerate the popularization and application of robots in the mine field. Up to now, intelligent robots have been applied in coal mining, roadway excavation, handling/transportation, security and rescue and other mine scenarios, helping to improve the efficiency and safety of mine operations, reduce the degree of manual intervention, and achieve better cost reduction and efficiency increase.
In practical applications, the automatic control, environmental intelligent perception, system intelligent linkage, remote communication control and long-term stable operation in harsh environments of various mining robots must be supported by industrial computer products with high performance, high reliability and durability. Guided by the market and customer demand, North China industrial control accelerated the R&D and iterative update of embedded AI product solutions for robots, and created a variety of products to support the application of mining robots.
