In recent years, digital twin technology has developed rapidly and has made great progress in smart cities, smart parks and other fields. However, due to the uncertainty of mineral resources, the mobility of the operation site and the diversity of production processes, the development of digital twin in mining industry is slow and there are few successful cases. The author's team has independently developed the MIM digital twin platform based on years of practical engineering experience in the industry, combined with multiple disciplines such as intelligent equipment, industrial automation, 5G, and data governance platforms. It has been widely applied in the Yanqianshan iron mine. By applying the MIM digital twin platform, Yanqianshan Iron Mine has achieved unmanned or intelligent operation of some processes, improved enterprise management efficiency, optimized production design accuracy, reduced the number of operators, and achieved good results. This article first provides an overview of the MIM digital twin platform and related MIM digital twin systems, then summarizes the main highlights of the Yanqianshan project, and finally summarizes the innovative application of digital twin technology in this mine and proposes future directions for development.
