en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 28, the "Mining Truck Autonomous Driving Achievements Release and Intelligent Mine Observation Site Meeting," themed "Empowered by Intelligent Driving, Creating the Future with Wisdom," was held at the Shougang Qian’an Convention Center. The event was co-hosted by the China Metallurgical Mining Enterprise Association, Shougang Mining, EQ Intelligent Driving, Suli Technology, and Yutong Mining Trucks. Over 140 guests from relevant government departments, university research institutes, and companies across the upstream and downstream industry chain attended. Jiang Shengcai, Vice President of the China Metallurgical Mining Enterprise Association, presided over the meeting. The technological breakthroughs in autonomous mining trucks became the focus of attention for the entire audience.
We do plenty. During the achievements release session, Liu Xingqiang, Director of the Metrology, Control and Inspection Center of Shougang Mining, officially announced the phased achievements in autonomous driving for mining trucks. Since September 2024, Shougang Mining has deployed a total of 43 pure electric autonomous mining trucks across two mines, achieving normalized operation. The project has refined five distinctive features through practice: First, the technical integration of various parties including Shougang Mining, EQ Intelligent Driving, and Yutong Mining Trucks; second, the establishment of an intelligent dispatching system for top-level scheduling, achieving mixed fleet operation of 17 autonomous mining trucks and 11 human-driven rigid trucks; third, the completion of batch retrofitting for 22 existing pure electric wide-body trucks, the first of its kind in the industry; fourth, the construction of an intelligent monitoring platform and operational analysis system; and fifth, the system's interlock with on-site equipment such as automatic dump systems at the stope crushing station and dry separation ore drawing, achieving efficiency comparable to manual driving, with total daily manual interventions for all mine autonomous mining trucks averaging less than 10 times.
The "White Paper on the Development and Application of Autonomous Driving in Open-Pit Mines" was also officially released during the event. The white paper was primarily compiled by the Open-Pit Mine Autonomous Driving Standardization Working Group of the Information and Intelligence Sub-Technical Committee under the Mining Safety Industry Standardization Technical Committee. Shougang Mining, Northeastern University, the Marketing Center of EQ Intelligent Driving, Suli Technology, and Yutong Mining Trucks jointly signed the "Deepening Cooperation Agreement on Industry-University-Research for Intelligent Mine Construction," under which all parties will engage in in-depth collaboration focusing on key technology breakthroughs, talent cultivation, achievement transformation, and standard setting.
That afternoon, attending guests conducted a field visit to the autonomous driving stope and digital intelligent control center of the Shuichang Iron Mine of Shougang Mining. The large-scale application of this project has verified the engineering capability of autonomous mining truck technology in ferrous metal mining scenarios, holding exemplary significance for promoting the intelligent transformation of open-pit mines.
