Digital transformation has become an important support for the transformation, upgrading and high-quality development of the coal industry, and the coal industry is at the forefront of the industrial industry in terms of 5G applications and autonomous driving in mines.
The technology of unmanned driving in open-pit coal mines has really developed. Two years ago, there were only more than 100 driverless trucks in open-pit coal mines across the country, and they were mainly based on industrial experiments, and now there are more than 1,000 driverless trucks in actual operation.
At present, the digital transformation of the coal industry has taken substantial steps, but the level of digital transformation of different enterprises varies greatly.
In the future, the digital construction of the coal industry needs to be strengthened from two aspects. First, it is necessary to strengthen top-level design and standard construction. Formulate corresponding digital construction standards by classification and classification, and guide different enterprises to choose the construction path suitable for their own reality. Second, we must accelerate the research and development of digital technology platforms. In view of the relatively low concentration of coal mines and the phenomenon that data does not come out of mines, accelerate the construction of a national coal data platform.
In the process of digital construction in the coal industry, there is still a mismatch between production relations and productivity. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen the digital professional training of employees and improve the digital skills and literacy of employees; On the other hand, it is necessary to set up new types of jobs with corresponding digital professional skills.
