The Internet of things builds a new barrier for safety precautions in the coal industry

Although the number of coal mine accidents and deaths in China has continued to decline in recent years, the coal mine safety production situation has improved. In 2010, the death toll from accidents fell by 59% compared with 2005 at the end of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan", and the number of serious and serious accidents dropped by 58.6%. The death rate from coal production of one million tons dropped by 73%. Since 2011, the death toll from accidents has fallen by 35% year-on-year, but we should see that the total number of coal accidents in China is still too large, and mining industries such as coal are still a high-risk industry. From 2002 to 2009, in eight years, coal mines in China killed 41,064 people and the death rate was 0.49 people per million tons. With the continued development of China's economy and the substantial increase in coal consumption, the coal security situation is still grave. The prevention of accidents in the mineral industry is still an important task for governments at all levels.

First, due to the backward economic development mode in China, the energy structure is heavily dependent on coal mines, and the country’s demand for coal is very large. Our industrial production of 76% of energy and 70% of civil energy are dependent on coal mines, which prompts China to continuously increase the exploitation of coal mines. As the world's largest producer of coal, China’s coal production accounts for about 37% of the world’s total coal production, 2002 The annual coal production is nearly 1.4 billion tons and this year it will reach 3.5 billion tons.

Second, together with the inadequacy of the system and the failure of government supervision, the formalism of safety supervision has spread, resulting in frequent coal mine safety accidents. Inadequate government supervision means that the management of the mining area is not in place. On November 21, 2009, an explosion accident occurred in the emerging coal mine of the Hegang branch of Heilongjiang Province's Longmei Group, killing 108 people. At the time of the accident, 6 people from the Heilongjiang provincial government's inspection and inspection team for safety production were in Hegang to carry out inspections and investigations on the city's work safety. From November 11 to 13, the coal mine safety production research group headed by Fu Jianhua, deputy director of the State Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, just held a coal mine safety supervision and law enforcement seminar in Hegang. “If the local authorities are not monitoring the safety of coal production, such high-standard national and provincial departments went to Hegang to carry out “safety production supervision” and “coal mine safety supervision and enforcement”. However, why have the emerging coal mines that have been notified to stop production? Will the production still be correct?

On the surface, inspections and inspections of production safety at all levels of government and functional departments are undeniably inconsequential and infrequent, but why haven't these stopped the advent of mine disasters? Judging from the lessons of the new coal mines, there is still formalism in our supervision. On the one hand, it is one after another that suspends production for rectification; on the other hand, it continues production and turns a deaf ear to accidents. Safety production supervision has become a form of safety incidents. The legal system is not in place. China's coal mine safety production laws and regulations are not perfect. At the same time, our accountability in the handling of mine accidents is not very strong. Some leading cadres who bear major leadership responsibilities are often unable to hold accountable positions and cannot really start To the warning effect.

In addition, the government has failed to invest in safe production of coal production enterprises. Since 1998, the Ministry of National Coal officially withdrew from the historical stage. The coal industry has formed a model of production safety that is based on the principle of “national supervision, industry management, enterprise responsibility, and mass supervision.” As a result, the country’s attention has been reduced and the safety investment in coal has been reduced year by year. At the same time, China lacks a top-level design department to consider the development prospects of the coal industry as a whole and to solve the technical problems facing huge coal production.

On the other hand, some local coal producers are mercenary and do not consider the law of production, which leads to over-loading of production equipment. At the same time, investment in coal safety production is almost zero.

As China's most important energy source, coal not only has a strong guarantee for the rapid economic development of China's energy needs, but also protects people's daily energy needs. The coal industry as a high-risk industry, its safe production affects everyone's heart. It is particularly important to standardize the safety production behavior of the coal industry and ensure the safe production of coal.

On the one hand, government departments must improve the laws and regulations on coal safety production, implement safety responsibilities of leaders at all levels, establish a long-term mechanism for safe production, improve access qualifications for coal production practitioners, raise compensation standards, and urge coal companies to improve safety management objectives. . Implement and normalize the coal safety production supervision system. Actively rectify illegal small coal mines to form an intensive production of coal enterprises. On the other hand, increasing investment in coal safety production, especially coal production safety research investment, and appropriate subsidies to some coal companies, is that companies can have the energy and strength to invest in safety production.

Coal mining industry enterprises must conscientiously implement the national coal safety production laws and regulations, implement the responsibility system of safe production management goals, change the concept of production, coal and other mineral enterprises should pursue the social benefits rather than economic interests, measure a company's standards are not How much money should be earned, but less accidents, environmentally friendly, high safety standards, and scientific exploitation; and more importantly, coal mines and other mineral enterprises must increase investment, and must make full use of new technologies in combination with actual conditions to increase safety engineering construction and safety. Investment in facilities and safety equipment and instrumentation, determination of the material security basis for safe production in coal enterprises, and ensuring the safe production in an orderly manner.

In recent years, with the continuous development and maturation of wireless remote video surveillance technologies and Internet of things technologies, some mining companies are responding to the government's call to firmly grasp the trend of technological innovation and make full use of new technologies in light of their actual situation. The company's ability to prevent production safety, enhance the company's production and management efficiency.

Digitization means safety and efficiency. Shandong Yankuang Group adheres to the combination of independent innovation and brainstorming. Based on the introduction of advanced information technology in the industry, it makes full use of social resources, with China Mobile Jining Branch, China University of Mining and other universities. Cooperation, according to the actual production of mine safety, independent design, comprehensive development and utilization of information systems, recently built a set of security monitoring and monitoring, wireless intelligent communications, production scheduling video surveillance, business management, coal washing and shipping, human resources management, integrated automation office , E mine system is equal to one of the country's first coal mine safety production IoT application "E mine integrated management system." The system has the functions of coal inquiries, mine video monitoring, report sending, personnel positioning, and safety information alarm. It can transmit downhole people data monitoring, video and other information to the management personnel's mobile terminals in real time. Under the circumstances, it is also possible to use mobile phones to control the production, transportation, and other aspects of mines in real time and in real time to understand the operation conditions of mines, detect and remove the hazards in the production process in time, and improve the safety level of coal mine management.

The new technology for safe production of coal mines can also be applied to other metal mineral enterprises. Cangshan County, Shandong Province has continuously improved the mine remote monitoring system since 2009. This system provides effective real-time monitoring of underground mining behaviors, over-the-top production, and production of mining enterprises. At the same time, combined with satellite remote sensing monitoring technology and ground dynamics During the inspection, a three-dimensional law enforcement network of "Heavenly Look, Ground Investigation, Underground Control" was initially established, and the integration of mineral resources management, taxation monitoring, and safety supervision was realized. Through remote monitoring, real-time understanding of mine production data and mining activity information, substantial increase in resource revenue, the mining order was significantly improved, explored a new way of science and technology tube mines, and initially established a long-term mechanism for the supervision of mineral resources development. It not only plays a crucial role in strengthening the management of mineral resources, strengthening tax collection and management, and ensuring safe production, but also has a strong impetus to the administration according to law, the establishment of a fair and just production and business environment, and the realization of a harmonious society.

With the continuous maturation of domestic digital technologies, Hangzhou Jiancai Group and China Mobile have reached the intention to cooperate with the Internet of Things, relying on China Mobile’s technological superiority, proceeding from the problems that need to be solved in the current mine safety, and monitoring and perceiving the symptoms of the disaster through video surveillance. To realize early warning and forecast of various disaster accidents; to realize active safety guarantee by sensing the surrounding safety environment of miners; and to realize predictive maintenance by sensing the health status of mining equipment. Realize a complete perception of people, equipment, and environment in the mining area.

With the development of modern science and technology, more mining companies will use more new technologies in the prevention of accidents in production safety, and gradually improve corporate safety precautions. Further improve the safety factor of mineral enterprises and promote the sustainable development of China's mineral enterprises.
