Construction Workers In China Control Construction Vehicle With 5G While Working From Home
We might have been wondering sometimes in those old movies where we can remotely control devices or vehicles from other places. While it seems this wonderous mindset is no longer a dream, as mine workers in Henan province, China is using remote-controlled vehicles and the worker are basically controlling these machines from home and with a few monitors which are providing a much safer and better maneuver-abilities.
Sandaozhuang Mine in Henan has apparently been unmanned since last year, and the machinery is all controlled using 5G technology. They use 5G wireless network technology, which features Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication, to operate the machines.
According to Chinese media, the unmanned systems are jointly run by the following corporations:
- China Mobile Henan
- Huawei
- Sany’s Large Excavator Research Institute
- Henan Yuexin Intelligent Machinery
- China Molybdenum
They use 5G wireless network technology, which features Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication, to operate the machines. With this technology, one can now work far away from the worksite and this can reduce the risk involved in mining jobs as well.
