Abstract:Digitization is the necessary way to achieve high-quality development of traditional mining enterprises. Now, the intelligent development of mines in China is still faced with problems such as difficulty in capturing information with data deluge, poor reliability of multiple heterogeneous data real-time transmission, high delay in equipment remote operation, and low efficiency of intelligent decision-making based on big data. The fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technology for vertical industry and industrial communication wireless solutions, with its features of high reliability, short time delay and wide connectivity, provides an opportunity to solve the above problems. Based on the application requirements of today’s digital transformation of mines and the technical advantages of 5G, this paper proposes typical scenarios for intelligent innovation applications in mines and integrates the application with virtual reality, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.
