Tungsten Molybdenum Mining Introduces 5G Network in Unmanned Excavator

Tungsten molybdenum mining adopts more intelligent 5G network in its unmanned excavator, allowing workers sitting in the "office" to open an excavator to mine.

Lei Cao and Wei Lei, the journalists from Eastday reported that, in the morning of June 26th, the Mobile World Congress inaugurated in Shanghai. In the exhibition area, large waves of novel 5G applications attracted a large crowd. In the Huawei exhibition area, the application of a 5G excavator attracted many visitors' attention.

On the exhibition booth, the excavator operator Mr. Wang is sitting on the console to operate the excavator equipment. Looking down to the unmanned excavator, there is a high-definition display in the front, when Mr. Wang operating on the screen, the corresponding excavator in the display moving in real time. According to the report, the excavator in the display is currently operating in a tungsten molybdenum mine in Luoyang, Henan. Through the 5G network, the excavator operators can control the machine to complete corresponding action even the operators are very far away. For example, the excavator could work in Luoyang with the operator controls it in Shanghai.

Mr. Wang said that before the manual acting excavator was operated on the mining ground, it requires a man to sit in the excavator, the machine has severe vibration, which not only affected the precision of control, but also harmful to worker’s body. While using the 5G remote controlled excavator, it has high control precision and little impact on health. Mr. Wang said: "The office environment is so good, there is no need to worry about the weather variations. With 5G, we can also sit in the office like a white-collar."

According to the booth staff, with the support of the 5G network, the Remote-operated excavator owns an excellent sense of real-time controlling without any delay. At present, this technology applied in the tungsten-molybdenum mine in Luoyang, Henan. Many unmanned excavators have been using with 5G remote controlled system. Not only that, but also the trucks for delivering raw ores have realized unmanned driving with 5G network, and the tungsten molybdenum mining process has become very intelligent.
