Boonray Technology and State Power Investment Corporation presented new energy mining trucks and unmanned driving technology at the Sand and Gravel Association Technology Conference

On July 24, 2021, the 8th National Sand and Gravel Aggregate Industry Science and Technology Conference (hereinafter referred to as the "Sand and Gravel Conference"), themed "Green Innovation, Low-Carbon Development," grandly opened in Huzhou, Zhejiang, the birthplace of General Secretary Xi Jinping's "Two Mountains Theory." Leaders from national ministries and commissions, provincial and municipal government departments, and related enterprises were invited to attend. In his speech, Wang Min, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources, noted the importance of the Sand and Gravel Conference in promoting the accelerated transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development of the entire industry.

Hu Youyi, President of the China Sand and Gravel Association, delivered a keynote speech titled "Green Innovation, Low-Carbon Development, and Writing a New Chapter in the High-Quality Development of the Sand and Gravel Industry." Entering the new development phase of the "14th Five-Year Plan," the sand and gravel industry has been presented with new development requirements: implementing new development concepts, promoting new scientific and technological advances, and building a new development landscape. Shanghai Qiyuan Core Power Technology Co., Ltd. ("Qiyuan Core Power") and Shanghai Boray Intelligent Technology ("Boray Technology") jointly presented a report titled "Green Mining Intelligent Solutions" at the conference addressing these development requirements.

       Qiyuan Core Power, a comprehensive smart energy service provider under the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), focuses on "green transportation." Its core businesses include new energy mining trucks, battery asset management, and charging and swapping services, creating new industries and new business models in the green transportation sector. Boonray Technology, a global leader in ubiquitous robotics, is dedicated to the research and development and application of artificial intelligence technologies, including autonomous driving, to create enterprise-level intelligent operations solutions. In mining scenarios, Boonray Technology's intelligent open-pit mine solutions include multiple modules, including autonomous driving systems, remote control systems, V2X systems, and shovel monitoring and dispatching systems. Boonray Technology has already launched commercial operations in multiple open-pit mines, generating sustained revenue. Boonray Technology has also established strategic partnerships with numerous mining companies and OEMs. As an ecosystem partner of SPIC, Boonray Technology is committed to jointly building "smart mines" and "green mines."

The report showcases how Qiyuan Core Power and Boonray Technology are combining unmanned driving technology, artificial intelligence, and new energy to create a comprehensive, low-carbon, green, environmentally friendly, intelligent, and unmanned mining production and operation solution. This solution integrates Boonray Technology's complete intelligent mining application system (including unmanned mining trucks, 5G-based remote driving, remotely controlled intelligent mining shoveling, hauling, and discharging operations, and an intelligent shoveling and hauling scheduling platform) with a new energy mining truck charging and swapping solution based on State Power Investment Corporation's (SPIC). This ensures unmanned intelligent production in mines while significantly reducing carbon emissions, helping mines achieve the goal of green mining.

Cai Meifeng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, noted in his speech that while the sand and gravel industry has achieved tremendous growth in recent years, it also faces prominent challenges such as the elimination of outdated production capacity, an irrational industrial structure, and a low level of green development. Addressing these issues still relies on technological innovation. Peng Qiming, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the China Mining Association, also emphasized in his speech that technological innovation must contribute to safe development, green development, and improved quality and efficiency. The "Green Mining Intelligent Solution" jointly created by Qiyuan Core Power and Boonray Technology responds to the requirements of national policies and the needs of sand and gravel aggregate and even mining development. Through continuous technological innovation, it achieves intelligence, reduces costs and increases efficiency for the industry, creates good economic benefits, changes the "dirty, messy and poor" image of traditional mining, transforms miners from blue-collar workers to white-collar workers, and builds a new image of modern mines in the new era.
