Recently, China's first fully automated intelligent mining system for open-pit coal mines, covering multiple processes such as loading, transportation, waste dumping, and coal sorting, was officially put into operation at Huaneng Northern Weijiamao Open-Pit Coal Mine. The successful deployment of this system marks a historic leap in China's open-pit coal mining towards intelligent construction, transitioning from "individual machine intelligence" to "multi-process system collaboration.".
The newly deployed unmanned mining system integrates cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, BeiDou high-precision positioning, and artificial intelligence, consolidating remote-controlled electric shovels, autonomous mining trucks, remotely operated graders, and intelligent coal preparation plants into a complete unmanned production line. This fundamentally transforms traditional mining operations, with the key innovation lying in systemic coordination rather than merely automating individual equipment.
As a crucial component of the system, the GR3505 remote-controlled grader provided by XCMG plays a pivotal role in this landmark project, showcasing its forward-looking technical solutions and outstanding performance
XCMG's remote control system integrates advanced technologies such as multi-angle panoramic video fusion, 5G low-latency control, and immersive haptic interaction cabins, achieving dual improvements in safety and efficiency for mining operations. Through precise remote operation, it enables "zero entry" for personnel in high-risk zones, keeping workers entirely away from hazardous and dusty environments, thereby solidifying the foundation of intrinsic safety. Practical data demonstrates that this technology delivers a 30% increase in single-machine operational efficiency and a 20% reduction in labor costs, effectively fulfilling the core requirements of "prioritizing safety, enhancing efficiency, and reducing costs while improving productivity.".

Additionally, XCMG will take this successful operation as a starting point to establish a dedicated after-sales service team to ensure equipment stability, continuously iterate software functions, optimize operational experiences, and fully support Weijiamao Coal Mine in building a full-process intelligent system, jointly creating a new benchmark for mining intelligence!
From "single-machine intelligence" to "system collaboration," Weijiamao Coal Mine's practice has drawn a clear blueprint for smart mining. With innovative remote control technology, XCMG not only provides critical support for this benchmark mine but also drives the entire mining industry toward a future of greater safety, efficiency, intelligence, and environmental sustainability through concrete actions!
