New engine for Silk Road smart mining: Boonray Technologys successful electrification + unmanned project results were unveiled at the 2025 Smart Mine Development Conference

01The Blue Book authoritatively sets the tone, and the technical benchmark defines the height of the industry

At the conference's opening ceremony, the "2025 Smart Mine and Autonomous Driving Industry Blue Book," jointly compiled by authoritative institutions such as the China University of Mining and Technology and the Xuzhou Digital Space Mining Research Institute, was released. The report clearly states that the deep integration of new energy and autonomous driving is the core path to reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the mining industry, and systematically analyzes the commercialization process and future trends of autonomous driving technology in mines. The report shows that in current open-pit mining scenarios, Boonray Technology has achieved significant improvements in transportation efficiency and reduced overall energy consumption by over 30% in projects such as a Xinjiang open-pit coal mine, the Datang Shengli East Second Mine in Inner Mongolia, and Huzhou Nanfang Cement. This provides a replicable technical model for mining operations in complex environments such as high altitudes and extreme cold.

02 Industry-Academic-Research Collaboration Signs Agreement to Deepen Technological Research and Build a Smart Mining Ecosystem

On the first day of the conference, China University of Mining and Technology and Boonray Technology and other companies officially signed the "Industry-Academic-Research Collaboration Agreement for Open-Pit Mine Autonomous Driving Technology." The two parties will collaborate in areas such as high-precision environmental perception, multi-device coordinated scheduling, and algorithm optimization for extreme working conditions, accelerating the standardized implementation of Level 4 autonomous driving technology in mining scenarios. This collaboration aims to break down the barriers between technology research and development and industrial application, providing a replicable technological paradigm for autonomous mining.

03 Comprehensive Upgrade from "Pain Points" to "Value Closed Loop"

At the conference's main forum, Boonray Technology's Vice President of Marketing, Chen Xingbing, delivered a keynote speech titled "Key Technologies and Development Outlook for New Energy Autonomous Driving in Mines." He deeply analyzed the underlying logic behind mining transformation and shared Boonray Technology's project achievements in open-pit mining scenarios. Chen Xingbing emphasized that through its independently developed autonomous driving algorithm platform, drive-by-wire chassis technology, and cloud-based global dispatching system, Boonray has achieved a fully unmanned closed loop for mining trucks, from autonomous driving and obstacle avoidance to battery swapping and recharging. Taking the 800kWh CTB battery-swap mining truck as an example, its 6-minute rapid battery swap capability and climbing performance of over 30% significantly improve mine transportation efficiency. Furthermore, drawing on benchmark case studies from large open-pit mines in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, he demonstrated the stability and economic advantages of Boonray technology in complex environments such as extreme cold and large temperature fluctuations on the plateau, providing the industry with a replicable intelligent upgrade path. "New energy and autonomous driving are not optional; they are essential for the sustainable development of mining."
