Evolution of smart mine construction and its development tendency

Combining with construction experiences and lessons of integrated automation to smart mine in each coal mine, smart mine construction was summarized, and it was emphasized that smart mine construction was an evolution process step by step. The evolution process of smart mine construction and its development tendency were discussed from the aspects of network platform, data platform, collaborative work platform of multi-speciality and connection with new technologies and services. Following viewpoints are pointed out: Heterogeneous network structure of backbone network plus access network, flattening, intelligence and resource abstraction are important development tendencies of network platform of smart mine. Unified data platform is basic development tendency of smart mine, and big data and cloud computing are development tendencies of unified data platform application. A definite tendency caused by collaborative work platform of multi-speciality is change of service mode, namely mine purchase service. Above viewpoints verify that the smart mine equals mine Internet of things plus carried services actually. As smart services join into network continuously, the mine would be smarter, safer and more efficient.
