en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, HBIS Digital completed the delivery of a surface remote control project for drill rigs at an iron mine of HBIS Mining located in Hebei, China. Through a surface remote control system, this project enables remote control of drill rigs for underground excavation operations, allowing operators to complete tasks without being physically present underground. To address the complex underground working conditions, the project deployed multiple technical solutions, including 5G+ wireless communication links, onboard intelligent control suites, and intelligent monitoring and early warning modules.
At the communication level, the project upgraded the tunnel wireless communication and onboard 5G transmission systems, constructing a low-latency, high-reliability data exchange channel to solve the problem of underground signal transmission. The onboard intelligent control suite includes customized onboard power supply, motion control, image acquisition, and attitude sensing systems, capable of completing the full-process automated actions of drill arm rotation, positioning, hole opening, drilling, rod coupling, and rod uncoupling. The intelligent monitoring and early warning module uses mining-grade high-definition cameras and intelligent lighting to transmit real-time operation footage, and employs a sound detection module to achieve online equipment status monitoring and fault early warning, enhancing the precision of remote control.
The surface intelligent sensing remote control platform, serving as the core control terminal, is equipped with an ultra-high-definition display and an integrated operation panel. Operators in the surface central control room can complete full-process operation control through this platform. The self-developed remote monitoring software synchronously displays vehicle status, operational parameters, and alarm information, integrating remote control, status monitoring, and data traceability functions to provide data support for production scheduling and equipment maintenance. This remote control mode for the drill rig ensures operational intuitiveness and response accuracy.
After the project's implementation, operators are removed from the underground working environment, reducing high-risk underground operation scenarios. Non-operational time consumption, such as personnel descending/ascending the shaft and shift handovers, has been significantly compressed, enabling the mine to achieve round-the-clock continuous operations and improving production efficiency. The solution delivered by HBIS Digital this time provides a practical case for the remote control of drill rigs, and the technical pathway formed can be promoted and applied in similar positions in non-coal mines.
