5G Network-Smart Mining

ADLINK collaborated with its partner, Innogence Technology, to integrate a Private 5G network system into an open pit mine complex at Mount Emei.

The limestone mine leveraged the benefits of its 5G installation with IoT devices and data-centric applications, such as analytics and visual recognition systems, to make full use of the newly available wireless connectivity. The company improved its video surveillance and implemented a perimeter alarm. By upgrading to an unattended weighbridge, the firm improved operational throughput and efficiency. Not least of all, AI-based applications and conversion to more “smart” mining processes improved worker safety, improved profitability, and put the customer’s ambitious business goals firmly within reach.

This solution brief covers:

  • The challenges that the mining company faced
  • The solution and how ADLINK and InnoGence deploy the 5G Smart Mining
  • How 5G networks improved the overall quality control and productivity
