Huaibei Mining Accelerates Intelligent Transformation and Technological Upgrading in 2026

Huaibei Mining Group is advancing in-depth industrial upgrading and digital transformation through continuous reform optimisation, technological investment and artificial intelligence deployment. The group maintains solid reform performance among provincial state-owned enterprises and fosters new growth drivers for traditional energy and chemical industries.

The group has consolidated achievements from state-owned enterprise reform enhancement initiatives. Thirty-one key subsidiaries have completed comprehensive self-inspection and evaluation this year. Compiled experience manuals support cross-unit learning and systematic improvement, forming a standardised mechanism for operational optimisation and institutional upgrading.

Technology-driven development strategies have delivered tangible industrial outcomes. The group has invested 627 million yuan in research and development in 2026, reaching excellent industrial R&D intensity. Multiple subsidiaries and projects have obtained authoritative industrial certifications and achieved breakthrough production results. Linhuan Coking’s electronic-grade dimethyl carbonate has been recognised as a new high-quality product in Anhui Province. Linhuan Water Service has been certified as an innovative small and medium-sized enterprise. The green intelligent mining renovation project at Yangjialing Mine has commenced full construction, while a new high-performance aluminium-silicon material processing project has rolled out qualified finished products.

The launch of the mullite-based aluminium-silicon material production line in late March marks a crucial step in the group’s industrial restructuring. The new product meets strict refractory manufacturing standards and facilitates the high-end, high-quality development of the kaolin industry across Anhui and nationwide.

Intelligent production upgrades are fully underway across operational sites. Linhuan Coal Preparation Plant has realised full-process intelligent management via automated control systems. High-precision online coal quality analysers monitor ash content, moisture and other core indicators in real time. Intelligent platforms autonomously adjust medium density and optimise slurry treatment parameters, enabling precise, efficient and centralised production management.

The group has accelerated the layout of artificial intelligence application scenarios and completed the preparation of artificial intelligence action plans for the 15th Five-Year Plan period. A new AI assistant for integrated business services has been officially launched, advancing corporate services from automated processing to intelligent matching and precise delivery.

More intelligent transformation measures will be implemented in the coming period. The group will deepen AI integration in corporate management, upgrading budget control, data analysis and risk inspection systems to strengthen digital decision-making capabilities. AI technologies will be further applied to core industrial chains to boost overall operational intelligence. Unmanned tunnelling faces and intelligent drilling lines will be widely promoted, supported by remote centralised control and intelligent robot patrols to build advanced smart factories.
