On December 9, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Corporation Limited (CRCHI) and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. signed a smart mining technology cooperation agreement in Shenzhen. The agreement was formally signed by the Smart Mining Command Office of CRCHI and the representative of Huawei's Hunan Regional Headquarters, witnessed jointly by Zhao Hui, Party Secretary and Chairman of CRCHI; Han Shuo, Vice President of Huawei and CEO of the Oil, Gas and Mining Business Unit; Bai Guangzhou, Party Committee Member and Vice General Manager of CRCHI; and Zhou Yu, Vice President of Huawei Global Technical Service Department.

Under the agreement, the two parties will focus on the deep integration of "high-end intelligent equipment + digital service scenarios" in mining, jointly explore and build benchmark projects for the intelligent transformation of underground mines, and provide the industry with replicable and scalable overall solutions for intelligent underground mining and excavation.

After the signing, the two parties held talks on deepening cooperation. Zhao Hui briefly introduced CRCHI's development history, business layout, and practical experience in the field of intelligent underground mining and excavation. He emphasized that CRCHI is committed to serving national strategies and industry development, that its business is highly complementary to that of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., and that the two parties have broad space for cooperation.

Han Shuo stated that Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. remains true to its original aspiration of using digital and intelligent technologies and products to solve industry challenges, and that its MineHarmony operating system and the "one network, one cloud, one platform" architecture will empower intelligent mining equipment and provide solid support for the construction of smart mines.

At present, the country is vigorously promoting the transformation and upgrading of mine construction toward "green, intelligent, and efficient" development, and the difficulties and bottlenecks facing smart mine construction urgently need to be overcome. Both parties agreed that they will take this signing as an opportunity, rely on their respective strong R&D and innovation platforms, and through joint innovation and technological empowerment, deepen cooperation in areas such as the creation of joint mining solutions, the construction of intelligent benchmark mines, the collaborative development of the mining market, and breakthroughs in industry bottleneck technologies, so as to achieve complementary advantages, create value for the industry, and drive industry progress.

During the event, the teams of both parties also held in-depth exchanges on topics such as intelligent construction technology for underground engineering and practices in intelligent mine safety scenarios.
