From the perspective of open-pit mine production factors, the essence of smart open-pit mines is to deeply integrate the information technology that spans two industrial revolutions with the open-pit coal industry, and through the informatization of production, safety, management, design and other work and the intelligence of mining machinery, the labor productivity of open-pit mines will be greatly improved and the overall production cost will be greatly reduced.
From the perspective of systems theory, cybernetics, and information theory, smart open-pit mines are to integrate advanced information technologies and automatic control technologies such as perception, computing, communication, and control to build a complex system in which human, machine, object, environment, information and other elements are mapped to each other, interact in a timely manner, and collaborate efficiently in the process of open-pit mining, so as to achieve on-demand response, rapid iteration, and dynamic optimization of resource allocation and operation within the system.
The so-called smart open-pit mine is based on the digitization of mine data, production automation, and management informatization, combined with new sensor technology, network communication technology, spatial information technology, artificial intelligence technology, etc., to achieve intelligent perception, identification, memory, analysis and calculation, judgment and decision-making, evaluation and assessment improvement of mine production and management, so as to achieve unmanned or less-manned operation of the entire mine, and realize green, safe, and efficient mines.
