YanZhou Coal Mine will draw on Siemens expertise to establish a cloud concept, enabling central monitoring for production, analysis and insights from real-time data. The company is also working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, which has developed an open source software platform called CloudWatch that can be used by other companies as Siemens will also provide IPC, accessories, software engineering and site-commissioning services. The project will begin in 2019 by drawing data from four mine hoist systems at the DongTan Coal Mine, and will extend to 20 hoists at five other coal mines. YanZhou hopes to maximize productivity and stay competitive through digital innovation.
