On July 18, the 14th China Xinjiang International Mining and Equipment Expo in 2024 was grandly opened in Urumqi, bringing together more than 860 top enterprises and units from all over the world to draw a grand blueprint for the intelligent, green and safe development of the mining industry. In this feast of mining science and technology, SUNWARD made a stunning debut with its innovative masterpiece: 5G intelligent drilling rig remote control cabin, which became the focus of attention.

As a model of the perfect fusion of technology and industry, the 5G intelligent drilling rig remote control cabin integrates the most cutting-edge 5G communication technology, high-definition video fusion, artificial intelligence algorithms and automated drilling technology to achieve ultra-long-distance, high-precision control of drilling rigs of the Guoneng Zhundong open-pit coal mine project, which is 248 kilometres away from Urumqi. This breakthrough not only crosses the geographical boundaries but also makes the dream of an ‘intelligent mine’ into reality.

At the exhibition site, in the remote control cabin of SUNWARD, the operator, in a calm and unhurried posture, through the oversized screen in front of him, as if he was on the front line, knew every detail of the drilling rig's operation site as if it were in his hands. With highly sensitive control devices and intelligent auxiliary systems, they easily mastered the drilling rig and completed a series of complex and precise drilling tasks, showing the ultimate realm of man-machine unity.

The introduction of the 5G intelligent drilling rig remote control cabin marks a profound change in the mode of mining operation. It not only greatly improves operational safety and effectively reduces the direct exposure of personnel in harsh environments, but also injects a strong impetus for the intelligent transformation of the mining industry by improving work efficiency and operational precision. In addition, the high-speed, stable transmission characteristics of 5G technology, more geological exploration, mineral mining and other key links to open up an unprecedented new channel of data interaction, accelerating the pace of intelligent upgrading of the entire industrial chain of the mining industry.

It is worth mentioning that SUNWARD also synchronously displayed advanced products such as SWDR152BF cutting drilling rig and mobile crushing plant, which also won high praise from the attendees for their excellent performance and innovative design concepts. With practical actions, SUNWARD is fulfilling its mission and responsibility of promoting the high-quality development of the mining industry and contributing to the construction of a green, safe and efficient modern mining system.
