en.Wedoany.com Reported - 3onedata has provided an edge computing gateway solution for a leading domestic heavy engineering equipment manufacturer, used for the intelligent transformation of mining drill rig clusters, addressing issues of equipment coordination and data integrity in scenarios such as no public network signal underground and complex electromagnetic environments.
The manufacturer's rock drilling jumbo product line covers multiple large-scale mining projects both domestically and internationally. As the demand for clustered and unmanned operations increases, the original dispersed and isolated equipment communication mode can no longer meet the requirements for collaborative operations and remote management. The client's core requirements include real-time coordination of multiple devices, no data loss in disconnected network environments, and a single-screen display of all vehicle statuses on the ground.
3onedata customized a solution including an edge computing gateway for the project. Each drill rig is equipped with an intelligent acquisition gateway that directly interfaces with the vehicle's CAN bus, performing multi-protocol data parsing, local caching, and preprocessing. It also integrates Beidou positioning and GPS timing functions, enabling clock synchronization and reliable positioning for devices within the cluster. A local area collaborative network is established between vehicles via high-speed wireless links, allowing the master vehicle to obtain operating parameters of slave vehicles in real time and issue coordination commands. The entire process operates independently of ground base stations and remains stable even in underground areas without public network coverage. Data uplink uses the MQTT IoT protocol, aggregated through the master gateway before being transmitted to the ground control center. Automatic caching occurs when disconnected, and data is resumed upon reconnection, significantly improving data transmission reliability in weak network environments in mines. The control center can also send commands and configurations downward for remote centralized scheduling.
The solution has achieved multiple outcomes. Edge local caching and resume-on-reconnection functions ensure complete recording of operational data even in areas without network coverage. Unified timing via Beidou and GPS aligns timestamps of multi-vehicle data, enabling precise and controllable coordinated actions. The ground control center can uniformly display the working status, faults, and operational trajectories of all vehicles, allowing remote adjustment and configuration. The solution supports parsing of multiple types of CAN controller protocols, is compatible with mainstream mining IoT platforms, and offers flexible expansion.
Similar solutions have been extended by 3onedata to applications such as mining cluster operations, intelligent engineering machinery, remote monitoring of agricultural machinery, and diesel machinery emission compliance. Whether it is the compliant upload of emission data under environmental regulatory requirements, the collection of agricultural machinery location trajectories under equipment subsidy policies, or real-time monitoring of factory workshop conditions, its vehicle-mounted intelligent gateway can handle the core chain of data acquisition, local processing, and reliable cloud upload. This project demonstrates its system integration capabilities under extreme working conditions.
