Huawei, one of the Indaba’s newer participants, hosted a CXO panel discussion with mining industry stakeholders to discuss how cloud, artificial intelligence and 5G internet can create safer, smarter and more productive mines.The first session, titled “Value of IoT for Mining Production and How Network Connectivity Supports Efficient Digital Mining Operations”, featured insightful discussions on the problems that the Internet of Things could solve.
Another important point raised by the panellists was the importance of integrated data, or what Huawei Mining’s Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Xu Jun, called a unified reference architecture. Still, all is not lost, as the IoT can be applied via sensors that collect data to monitor safety and productivity.
While this is a possible reality, it is not an area in which Huawei is inexperienced. As a communications technology giant, Huawei has taken extensive measures to ensure the security of its customers’ data. One of the stakeholders noted that they currently employ security guards who watch the surveillance screens 24/7 to make sure there is no illegal activity in the mines, including illegal miners or Zama Zama’s.
This provides the opportunity to train workers and deploy them so that they can work with the machines to ensure that the mine is operating at peak productivity.
