On October 27, Inner Mongolia Mengdong Mining Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. (Mengdong Mining Construction) and ASIAINFO TECH (China) Co., Ltd. announced a strategic collaboration in Beijing to advance vehicle-network synergy and unmanned smart mining solutions.
Mengdong Mining Construction is a leading enterprise in China's open-pit mining and transportation sector, while ASIAINFO TECH is a premier provider of IT products and services. This partnership marks a pivotal step in Mengdong Mining Construction's intelligent transformation strategy and reinforces ASIAINFO TECH's commitment to driving digital and intelligent advancements in the mining industry.
Under the agreement, the two companies will combine their strengths—leveraging Mengdong Mining Construction's expertise in open-pit mining, stripping, and transportation alongside ASIAINFO TECH's 5G private networks, AI, and digital intelligence solutions. The collaboration will focus on four key areas: joint R&D, market expansion, standard-setting, and industrial innovation to accelerate intelligent upgrades in mining operations and ecosystem development.
In joint R&D, Mengdong Mining Construction's mining equipment and operational scenarios will integrate with ASIAINFO TECH's 5G private networks, big data, and AI technologies to co-develop comprehensive smart mining solutions with enhanced innovation and practicality.
For market expansion, both parties will pool resources, form dedicated teams, and share client networks to jointly explore domestic and international markets for coal and non-ferrous metal mining.
In standard-setting, they will collaborate with industry associations, research institutions, and regulators to establish technical specifications, data interfaces, and safety standards for smart mining and autonomous vehicles, fostering orderly industry growth.
For industrial innovation, the partners will target high-value scenarios, engage upstream and downstream stakeholders, and explore multi-level cooperation in projects, operations, and capital to scale cutting-edge technologies like autonomous driving, 5G private networks, and AI models in mining. The goal is to build a thriving smart mining ecosystem and set industry benchmarks.
Additionally, the two companies will deploy a full-coverage unmanned wireless communication network at a top-tier state-owned open-pit coal mine to manage hundreds of autonomous mining trucks.
Looking ahead, ASIAINFO TECH and Mengdong Mining Construction aim to establish a safe, efficient, and green mining operation system, transitioning from passive maintenance to proactive operations and from resource-intensive practices to value-driven management. This initiative will support the mining industry’s shift toward precision operations and sustainable development.
