03Xinhai Industrial Internet Platform
Xinhai Industrial Internet Platform serves as the digital infrastructure for smart mining. Leveraging cloud computing, edge computing, Industrial Internet, big data, and microservices architecture, it builds unified data, business, and technology foundations to enable full-domain data aggregation, governance, service, and operations across the mine.
The platform connects downward to equipment, control, and perception layers while supporting upward development of applications in production, safety, equipment, energy, and operations. This forms a complete digital capability framework spanning “connection–aggregation–governance–sharing–empowerment,” providing sustained support for the mine’s digital, networked, and intelligent transformation.
Its five-layer architecture integrates device connectivity, data collection, edge computing, data governance, and intelligent applications into one unified framework.
- Application Layer:Runs the Integrated Mining Management Platform, safety applications, AI models, digital twin applications, intelligent decision support, and enterprise management systems.
- Platform Layer:Provides IoT access services, message buses, API gateways, data asset management, and core computing infrastructure, including servers, storage systems, GPU resources, and backup facilities.
- Edge Layer:Processes data close to equipment using industrial edge gateways, AI edge devices, protocol drivers, rule engines, lightweight time-series databases, and OTA agents. This enables local AI inference, real-time data preprocessing, and low-latency response.
- Communication Layer:Connects Industrial Ethernet switches, 5G base stations, Wi-Fi access points, LoRa gateways, fiber-optic and leaky feeder communication systems, firewalls, UPS systems, and Network Management Systems (NMS) to ensure secure, reliable communications across the mine.
- Perception Layer:Captures real-time information through environmental sensors, equipment sensors, displacement monitoring devices, surveillance cameras, personnel positioning tags, smart safety helmets, onboard vehicle terminals, and power systems, providing comprehensive visibility across the entire mining operation.
