Chinanews.com, Linfen, September 13 (Gao Ruifeng) The channel is cramped and buzzing, and the high temperature is between 40 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius. During walking, the body wrapped in work clothes has sweated profusely for a moment.
"In the past, manual inspections were conducted every half an hour. Each shift required 4 staff members and was on duty in shifts. With the '5G + intelligent inspection robot' to replace manual labor, 4 staff members per shift were reduced to 1. Only random inspections are required." On the 13th, Wang Fei, the head of the Information Department of Shanxi Yongxin Coal Coking Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shanxi Yongxin"), Anze County, Shanxi Province, introduced.
“In the inspection area of the coke oven bottom of the coking workshop, the working environment is high temperature, noise, and explosion-proof. It is inevitable that there will be trace leakage of coke oven gas and other gases. The maximum temperature in summer exceeds 70 degrees Celsius.” Wang Fei said, “5G+ intelligent inspection robot "Instead of the traditional manual inspection of coke ovens, it was the first to be used in Shanxi.

In July 2020, Shanxi Mobile Linfen Branch and Shanxi Yongxin signed a "5G+Smart Coking" strategic agreement to launch the "5G+Smart Inspection Robot" project.
Real-time collection, recording, monitoring, and return of data such as images, sound, temperature, smoke, and gas at the inspection site through the robot, and automatic analysis of them, to achieve the early warning function.
"The inspection robot equipped with 5G module collects the operating status of the coke oven regularly, can identify the concentration of coke oven gas, carbon monoxide and other gas, and can provide accurate, reliable and traceable inspection data. By watching the high-definition video returned in real time, Operators in the central control room can remotely control the robots that perform inspection operations." said He Zhen, a staff member of the Linfen branch of Shanxi Mobile.
Shanxi is a big province in the coking industry. According to data from the Shanxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, as of the end of 2020, its total coking capacity was 146.6 million tons.
At present, the enthusiasm for new infrastructure construction continues. Shanxi accelerates 5G construction and expands 5G scene applications. Traditional industries such as coking and coal use the momentum to transform and upgrade.
The traditional coking environment is poor, working hours are long, and labor intensity is high, and there are "pain points" such as difficulty in recruiting, difficult in retaining people, and difficult in production management.
Wang Fei said that after the "5G+ intelligent inspection robot" is put into operation, it will improve the efficiency of enterprise intelligent management and reduce production costs, while also allowing staff to bid farewell to the noise, dust, and high temperature working environment.

"The '5G + intelligent inspection robot' project is an innovative result jointly explored by the government, enterprises, and operators. In the next step, we will continue to strengthen exploration, continue to improve the level of enterprise informatization and intelligence, and create '5G + smart coking'." Shanxi Said Di Weifeng, the general manager of Yongxin.
Shanxi Mobile said that it will further improve and improve related functions, accelerate the application of 5G scenarios, and help enterprises to transform their "digital intelligence", and provide a useful reference for the coking industry.
