Huawei FusionCube super integration to build a solid intelligent digital base for coal mines

in recent years, intelligentization has developed rapidly in the coal mine industry, further consolidating the national energy security foundation related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Due to the natural resource characteristics of "rich coal, poor oil and less gas" in our country, coal is still the largest consumption energy in our country at present. Taking electricity consumption as an example, the thermal power generation with coal as energy is as high ~ 70% the proportion. Therefore, coal is the "ballast stone" for the safe and stable supply of energy in our country, only 2023 raw coal is produced in 47100 million tons. But on the other hand, the coal industry is a typical high-risk industry, especially in the production process of wells and mines, it is always accompanied by hidden dangers such as water damage, fire, gas, rock burst, dust, etc. 2023 the number of coal mine production deaths nationwide exceeded 400 people.

Rapid promotion of intelligent construction of coal mines can reduce the number of personnel in high-risk positions, prevent front-line coal miners from directly facing the risk of disasters and accidents, reduce misoperation of personnel, and greatly eliminate potential safety production hazards. Therefore, mine intelligence is the fundamental solution to improve the level of mine intrinsic safety.

Under the requirements and promotion of relevant national policies, mines are developing rapidly towards full environmental perception, full visible operation and full system connection. Mining enterprises focus on promoting intelligent decision-making and independent operation of mining system, efficient coordination of process equipment of tunneling system, realizing remote control of over-the-horizon in mining working face and few people and no one on site, promoting and applying auxiliary transportation intelligent scheduling, unattended in fixed places, comprehensive perception and real-time calculation of ventilation system, replacement of robots in dangerous and heavy-duty positions, realizing "no video, no operation" and comprehensively improving the safety of mine production.

Coal mines need to generate a large amount of data in the process of intelligent production, AI applications require a large amount of high-performance computing on these data to support production process monitoring and decision-making. Moreover, due to problems such as coal mine data security, data cannot be released from mining areas. Therefore, virtualization, computing, storage, and network IT the hyper-fusion infrastructure system integrated into a single system can be faced with in the coal mine edge environment IT coal mining enterprises with personnel allocation challenges provide significant advantages.
