Five-prong intelligent collaboration covers 97.7% of coal mining operations.

  • Huawei Cloud IoT helps Hongliulin Coal Mine build a unified OT data foundation, digitalizing the entire production (people, wind, water, electricity, and coal) by modeling 200 device types and 400 mining services and integrating 35 different OT systems. The benefits of 97.7% digitalization are significant: cross-system collaboration, E2E intelligent operations management, and transparent under/above ground information.

Business Challenges

  • Coal mine production is complex. There are hundreds of types of mining and monitoring devices and over 30 service systems in each coal mine. Refined management and real-time event sensing are challenging.
