en.Wedoany.com Reported - The AI video intelligent analysis project of China National Energy Group Ningxia Coal Industry Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Ningxia Coal Industry") was fully launched for construction on April 14, 2026. The project deploys algorithm instances at 46 high-risk underground and surface locations, connects 948 video signals, and has completed the development of key algorithms such as shield support collision warning. It aims to promote the transformation of mine safety supervision from human-based prevention to technology-based and intelligence-based prevention.

Ningxia Coal Industry is a core coal enterprise under China National Energy Group, primarily engaged in coal mining, washing and processing, and coal chemical businesses, possessing multiple large-scale modern mines. The AI video intelligent analysis system under construction achieves real-time monitoring of personnel behavior and equipment status in high-risk underground areas by introducing portable electronic fences, millimeter-wave radar, and high-definition cameras. The project team has identified a total of 48 algorithm requirements, covering three major categories: identification of unsafe human behaviors, detection of violations in restricted standing zones, and warnings for abnormal equipment operation.

Currently, the system has uniformly integrated alarm data from 19 production units under Ningxia Coal Industry, initially establishing an intelligent monitoring network covering the main mining faces. At the underground coal mining face, the shield support collision warning algorithm can automatically identify situations where the hydraulic support shields are not retracted in time or are abnormally extended, preventing collisions with the shearer; the portable electronic fence utilizes Ultra-Wideband (UWB) or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to delineate virtual danger zones around mobile equipment such as roadheaders and transfer machines, triggering an alarm immediately upon personnel entry.

This project is a concrete implementation of intelligent mine construction in the field of safety supervision. Previously, China's coal industry had promoted several pilot applications based on video AI. Ningxia Coal Industry's current expansion of algorithm deployment points to 46 and connection of nearly a thousand video streams makes its scale relatively prominent within the industry. As the system continues to optimize algorithm accuracy and reduce false alarm rates, its risk prevention and control capabilities are expected to further improve. Upon completion, the project will provide intelligent safety monitoring methods covering mining, transportation, auxiliary operations, and other processes for mines under Ningxia Coal Industry, and also offer a referenceable technical pathway for similar mines to transition from manual monitoring to intelligent early warning.
