At present, China Thailand economic and technological cooperation has been continuously strengthened, and the coordinated development of digital greening has been accelerating. The 5G+autonomous driving smart green mine project has a positive significance for promoting the transformation and upgrading of energy resources, industrial structure, and consumption structure, and will become a driving force for China and Thailand The first example of green economic and social development in ASEAN.
Five Chinese and Thai enterprises have built the first smart mine in Thailand and Southeast Asia, which will become a model of regional cooperation between China and Thailand in 5G, artificial intelligence, automatic driving and new energy fields under the new cooperation model of the "the Belt and Road". After the project negotiation was launched in April 2021, all parties overcame various difficulties, and through multiple rounds of communication, they completed the project feasibility demonstration, technical standard alignment, cooperation mode confirmation, overseas implementation details preparation and many other work.
In the context of the growing comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Thailand, continued to enhance strategic mutual trust, and deepened win-win cooperation, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as the representative of China's scientific and technological forces, established the Bangkok Innovation Cooperation Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2017, to introduce China's high-tech innovation achievements into Thailand, providing strong support for Thailand's economic development and scientific and technological personnel training. Huituo, a high-tech enterprise incubated by the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a "national team" in the field of artificial intelligence and intelligent control, will, through this cooperation, build a model of cooperation between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Thailand in the field of artificial intelligence, further promote the export of China's scientific and technological innovation influence, and help form a scientific and technological innovation ecological chain of extensive cooperation between China and Thailand and other ASEAN countries.
The green smart mine is a comprehensive industrial system, and the formation of leading solutions requires open cooperation ecology and close cooperation of all parties in the industrial chain. In recent years, Huawei, Huituo and Yutong have cooperated closely. They have launched several unmanned and intelligent mine projects for Jinyu Group Jidong Cement, China Resources Cement and other mining enterprises in China, and continue to work together to create the strongest cooperative ecology in China's green and intelligent mine field. Thai enterprises participating in the project construction are leading representatives in the fields of industry and communication in Southeast Asia: SCG is a Thai royal holding enterprise founded by King Rama VI of Thailand in 1913, and is the largest comprehensive chemical enterprise in Thailand. Its nuclear business involves chemical materials, agricultural resources, paper making, coal, building materials, trade and investment. As a leading 100 billion level commercial group in ASEAN, SCG has more than 300 companies, covering Thailand Laos, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries. AIS is the largest telecom operator in Thailand and the telecom enterprise that has obtained the most 5G commercial licenses from the Thai government through competitive bidding. It plays a significant role in promoting the application of 5G technology to the construction and development of the eastern economic corridor of Thailand's national special economic zone.
Huituo and its strategic ecological partners give play to their core advantages and provide high-quality, green and intelligent unmanned mine solutions for the mining industry. In recent years, Huituo, Huawei and Yutong have worked closely together to launch several unmanned and intelligent mine projects for Jinyu Group, China Resources Cement and other large enterprises. At present, the second phase of the Yangquan Jidong Cement 5G+Smart Mine Project, which is jointly built by Huituo, Jinyu Jidong Cement and Yutong, has been started, and the "really unmanned" operation of the whole mine with driverless transport vehicles has been realized. This project will become the first unmanned whole mine transportation project in China, providing a reference example with benchmarking significance for the intelligent and green development of cement mines.
Huituo's "China Plan" exported by its independent R&D capability will benefit the entire Asia Pacific region and help China and the Asia Pacific region share the high-quality development achievements of China's smart mines. The global unmanned and intelligent mining construction field and the unmanned mining car market have broad development space, overseas mineral resources are abundant, and energy mining groups need to solve the problem of high employment costs. In the context of the integrated development of digital economy and real economy, the successful "sailing" of China's autonomous and controllable artificial intelligence will give play to the "head goose effect" of intelligent technology and help Chinese construction machinery equipment manufacturers to participate in international competition. Mineral resources are the basic resource elements of all countries. Exporting China's scientific and technological innovation influence in the form of cutting-edge mining technology is of great significance for implementing the national energy security strategy and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The country has created a new pattern of high-level opening up, promoted the opportunities and prosperity brought by the high-quality development of the "the Belt and Road", and laid a solid foundation for the success of this cooperation. The success of this cooperation between China and Thailand fully reflects the ecological ability of Chinese enterprises to cooperate at sea, and is an important achievement of China's advanced mine intelligent manufacturing technology ability "going global". In the field of energy mines, the "China Plan" for the whole life cycle integration of green, low-carbon, safe, reliable, digital and efficient smart mines will inject new vitality into the Asia Pacific region, so that the modernization of Chinese style industries will benefit the "the Belt and Road" partners. Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the field of artificial intelligence has become a key track for the competition of various scientific and technological powers. To realize the "sailing" of China's independent innovation of artificial intelligence technology is of great significance to China's implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country through science and technology in the new era, to achieve self-reliance through high-level science and technology, to enter the ranks and forefront of innovative countries, and to build itself into a world scientific and technological power.
