  In the first National Coal Industry Mine AI Large-scale Model Competition held recently, 389 participating teams focused on the innovation of mine intelligent scenarios and created hundreds of application scenarios, some of which have been applied in actual production.

  Ren Lixin, deputy director of the Coal Department of the National Energy Administration, said at the final and award ceremony that 2023 is a critical period for the intelligent construction of coal mines to move towards the second stage. He hopes to use this competition as an opportunity to further promote the innovation and development of the coal industry , and continuously accelerate the intelligent construction of coal mines.

  In the mining industry, scenarios vary widely. In addition to mining itself, there are also survey planning before mining, transportation, ventilation, safety guarantee after mining, and operation and management in the middle of the process.

The IMP-Lab-1 team from China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) won the special prize. Based on the large AI model of Huawei mines, they used machine vision + robot picking to replace manual labor with coal gangue synchronous detection technology to achieve efficient forecasting. Throwing waste, prolonging the life of mining equipment, reducing manpower and improving efficiency.

  The first prize went to the Submarine Small Column from China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) and the Little Chaoyang Team from Xi'an University of Science and Technology.

The former is based on Huawei's large mine AI model, which realizes the detection of unstructured road edges in open-pit mines and the detection of small and multi-scale targets in the road, which improves the safety of mine production; the latter is based on Huawei's large mine AI model. A set of intelligent identification system for coal rock microcomponents is provided to ensure the efficient and clean utilization of coal.

  The competition was jointly organized by the China Coal Society, China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), and Huawei. It attracted 389 teams and 1,460 participants.

Xing Huaibin, deputy director of the Strategic Planning Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that smart mines are an important application scenario of artificial intelligence, and the empowerment of artificial intelligence technology can make mine operation and production more convenient, safe and efficient.

  Liu Wei, President of Market and Industry Development of Huawei Coal Mine Corps, said that in the next 20 to 30 years, human society will undergo a major technological revolution, and that is the widespread application of artificial intelligence.

The penetration rate of AI technology in the global energy industry is less than 3%.

The Huawei Mine AI Large Model is an industry pre-trained model, which is equivalent to providing a set of automation tools. Users no longer need to manually design and make screws, but only need to put in raw materials to automatically produce scene models, which greatly simplifies development. workload.
