Yangmei Group: Informatization Becomes a Pioneer _ Yangmei Group

If oil is "black gold", then coal is simply "black diamond" for China. Affected by the current situation of "rich in coal but poor in oil and lacking in gas", coal resources have always occupied a dominant position in the field of energy consumption in China, accounting for 77% and 70% of the total primary energy production and consumption respectively.

Zhang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, revealed at the "20 10 China International Coal Development Forum" that in 2009, China's coal output reached 2.973 billion tons, close to 3 billion tons, an increase of 768 million tons over 2005, with an average annual growth of192 million tons. It is estimated that the coal output in 20 10 is close to 3.2 billion tons.

It can be seen that the contribution of coal industry to China's social development is enormous, and no one can deny the importance of coal in all aspects of China's economic and social life. But in the face of achievements, black coal makes people think more of all kinds of "black" news. Negative news such as "mine disaster" and "overcapacity" constantly stimulate the nerves of the world.

In this regard, the entire coal industry is constantly deepening its own pace of reform, and has made progress in many aspects such as market-oriented reform, internationalization, and structural adjustment. Especially under the wave of "integration of industrialization and modernization", the construction of coal informatization has made great progress. A few days ago, the reporter of Computer World specially visited Yangquan Coal Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yangmei Group") and felt that Yangmei Group was actively exploring ways to ensure safe production and improve the overall management level of enterprises.

The Institute of Informationization of Yangmei Group started early. In 1980s, local area network was established, and application systems such as coal sales, production scheduling and financial management were independently developed. As we all know, in the past year, Shanxi coal enterprises carried out large-scale merger and reorganization, which brought new challenges and opportunities to Shanxi coal enterprises including Yangmei Group.

As one of the most important coal enterprises in Shanxi, Yangmei Group has also merged dozens of large and small coal mines. The management scope of Yangmei Group has been concentrated in the surrounding areas of Yangquan City in the past, and now it has expanded to more than 600 kilometers from northern Shanxi to southern Shanxi. How to monitor the safety production of these coal mines, the first thing is to send all the data back to the group headquarters immediately, which requires extending the information network of Yangmei Group to these coal mines. As we all know, the level of informatization construction in these coal mines is uneven, and the level of communication infrastructure inside the coal mines is also different. Some coal mines don't even have cell phone signals.

In order to fully grasp these situations, the staff of the Information Department of Yangmei Group became the "Depth Charge" of the merger and reorganization. Every time a new coal mine is merged, the personnel of the information center will go to the local area to learn about the network and system construction. A staff member of the information center even joked that among the middle-level and above cadres in the whole group, it is estimated that no one has been to more merger coal mines than him.

It is with these "vanguard" that the informatization construction of Yangmei Group has entered a new stage.

Ensuring safe production is the primary task.

Since the country passed the Regulation on Leading Group of Coal Mines Going Downhole and Safety Supervision and Inspection on August 30th, 20 10, and it came into effect on June 7th, 20 10, "Mine manager going down the well" has become a hot topic.

Safe development is the basis of sustainable development of coal industry. Zhang Zeng said that major mine disasters have not been effectively curbed, "eclipsing the achievements of the coal industry."

There are many reasons for mine accidents, including objective factors such as large coal output and poor geological conditions in China, as well as management system and technical factors. Mine managers are bound to play a more important role in safety production. On the other hand, should the whole coal industry further increase the technical investment in safety production? Especially in the current situation of information popularization, can we shoulder the heavy responsibility of safe production?

Xinjing Mine belongs to Yangmei Group, which is located in the west of Yangquan City and produces high-quality anthracite. In the dispatching and command center of Xinjing Mine, the reporter saw dozens of large screens showing industrial videos and monitoring information in different areas such as coal mining, tunneling, electromechanical, transportation, ventilation and coal washing, which were clear at a glance. Four screens showed the heads of miners wearing helmets, which attracted the attention of reporters. Du Shishun, director of Xinjing Mine Information Center, told the reporter that this is the display screen of specific personnel tracking information in Xinjing Mine Personnel Positioning System. "These four types of people wearing safety helmets are mine leaders and department leaders who follow the classes in the underground, grassroots team cadres, safety officers, and the first responders of each working face. The dispatching command center can keep in touch with these four types of underground personnel at any time to deal with various situations underground. The representative wearing a hat went down the well, while the representative without a hat didn't. The man in the red hat is party member. All personnel in the mine are included in the personnel positioning system. Who went down the well, when, current position and action track, etc. , can be displayed by the system in real time. By the end of the month, all data will be automatically summarized and transmitted to the attendance system as the basis for employee salary calculation. "

Du Shishun said that through RFID technology, according to the system of "one person, one card", miners go down the well with safety helmets with chips, and the system can display in real time who is on duty, who is the shift leader and how long each person goes down the well. If someone goes into the well for more than the specified time and fails to return to the ground in time, the system will call the police, and the dispatcher will contact the person in charge of this area in time until the potential safety hazard is eliminated.

Han, vice president of the news and information center of Yangmei Group, told the reporter that during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, Yangmei Group improved the personnel tracking and positioning system construction of subordinate units such as Kaiyuan Mine, Xinjing Mine, No.1 Mine, No.2 Mine, No.3 Mine and Minmetals Mine. "The system realizes the management of personnel tracking and positioning in any designated area underground, and plays a positive role in mastering the information of personnel entering the well, plugging management loopholes and improving the management level of mine safety production."

Han told reporters that in Yangmei Group, ensuring safe production is one of the most important tasks of informatization. It is understood that many mines under Yangmei Group, such as Xinjing Mine, have realized the whole process monitoring and transparent management of the production operation system and the "one ventilation and three prevention" system through the underground safety production scheduling system, and completely transmitted all kinds of original information of the production operation site to the information platform, and entered the database system after sorting and optimization. Through the collection of underground harmful gas monitoring information and the release of over-limit information, a safety production guarantee system is formed.

"Yangquan coal mine belongs to high gas mine, so safety production is the top priority. Therefore, we have established a dynamic and real-time' digital coal mine safety' supervision system, and initially realized multi-level safety supervision of mine gas. " Han said that the system is based on the mine detection system and takes the detection data of each mine detection system as the source to realize the networking of mine detection data of all detection systems in the whole group.

Han believes that using this system, not only the comprehensive dynamic real-time monitoring of the underground working environment of coal mines by three management organizations, namely surface mines, group companies and provincial bureaus, but also the underground gas situation is analyzed, which provides timely technical data analysis information and materials for preventing gas accidents and making correct decisions in advance. "Now through the system, once the gas concentration exceeds the standard, the position and concentration value of the gas exceeding the standard can realize wind power locking, and the relevant responsible persons at all levels will be notified by SMS at the first time to ensure the fastest time. Make the right decision. "

In the production dispatching command center of Xinjing Mine, the reporter saw that Xinjing Mine established a comprehensive analysis and execution system for underground safety production through Ethernet, and realized a dynamic and intuitive monitoring and early warning system according to the change of production location and flexible organization interface through the detection of comprehensive conditions such as working place, underground equipment and industrial video. "In the past, I often called to ask about the underground situation. Now, through remote monitoring and computer desktop monitoring, managers at all levels can know the implementation and operation of various systems in underground coal production in real time, and organize and direct production reasonably according to the real-time data of the system. " Du Shishun said.

system integration

Trend group control

The informatization construction of Yangmei Group once put forward "demand-driven development, application-oriented" and highlighted "three extensions". In the "three extensions", in addition to the management application system extending to the industrial monitoring system and the ground system extending to the underground safety production monitoring, there is also a very important aspect that the enterprise business system of Yangmei Group extends to the enterprise comprehensive application portal.

"The rapid development of information technology has created favorable conditions for the enterprise information construction of Yangmei Group. The company's internal office, transportation, logistics, contract review and other business management systems led by the group company and relying on the enterprise network platform have achieved the goals of company management informationization, business data electronization and business process standardization. " Korea said to:

Coal sales is one of the most important production links in coal enterprises. Due to the constraints of history, geography and other factors, in recent years, the railway transportation mode can no longer meet the production needs of Yangmei Group, and the transportation of coal abroad is blocked, which seriously restricts the leap-forward development of Yangmei Group. In order to ensure the normal production of enterprises and meet the needs of the target market, Yangmei Group has fully implemented the strategic development plan of coal road transportation, and more and more coal is produced by road transportation. In order to effectively manage this part of transportation and sales, Yangmei Group developed the "Coal Highway Transportation Management Information System".

"The coal road transportation management information system is the identity card information of all the nearly 2,500 transportation vehicles managed by the management company. At each delivery station, a vehicle ID information access control system and a vehicle intelligent access control management system are established. Install industrial cameras at the entrance, exit and loading place of the loading station for all-weather monitoring. Connect all truck scale metering systems through local area network; According to the ID number of the vehicle, the loaded net weight of the vehicle is automatically recorded, and the functions of statistics, browsing and printing of various reports of companies, mines, departments and factories are realized. " Han said, "This system has effectively improved our coal road transportation capacity. In 2009, the transportation capacity will reach120,000 tons, and in 2065.438+00, it is planned to reach160,000 tons, basically eliminating the waste phenomena such as running, leaking and leakage, finely controlling the loading process, and reducing the transportation loss rate to below 0.5%. "

With the development of enterprise scale, Yangmei Group has expanded from traditional coal industry to non-coal business. The expansion of enterprise scale has brought a direct problem, and the scope of enterprise dispatching and command has become wider and wider, involving more and more industries and contents. Relying on the traditional dispatching business management mode and technology has been unable to support the leap-forward development of Yangmei Group.

"We have built a brand-new dispatching information command system, which can provide comprehensive, accurate and real-time production site information and analysis statistical data, so that the group dispatching command center has the ability of accurate decision-making, efficient command and quick response." Han said that the new dispatching information command system includes three subsystems. Among them, the video monitoring system can realize the video monitoring of the key production links of the main production units of the group company, including coal and non-coal enterprises; The production site monitoring and command system can integrate and release the production site data of the main production units of the group company, including personnel position monitoring, coal production detection and production environment monitoring; The scheduling video conference system realizes the remote video conference between the group and the secondary units. "

Regarding the future development direction of informatization of Yangmei Group, Yang Yilin, director of the news information center of Yangmei Group, said frankly that when the informatization construction of enterprises reaches a certain stage, it will inevitably encounter the problems of "information island" and system integration. To eliminate these two problems, the real difficulty lies not in technology, but in the rationalization of business management process. "Through the construction of the group contract audit system and the data exchange platform of the material supply system, the exploration of the construction of Kaiyuan coal comprehensive information management system and the inheritance of various application systems have accumulated experience for realizing a unified information management platform in the future."

Report on the Work of the Second Session of the Second Council

(excerpt)

Main contents of coal informatization in the near future:

1. Fully understand the importance of enterprise information capability in the post-crisis era and seize the new commanding heights of development.

After the international financial crisis, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries and the European Union have introduced IT rescue plans to further improve the country's information technology capabilities. For example, in February 2009, the US government promulgated the American Economic Reconstruction and Reinvestment Plan, which included the Broadband Technology Popularization Plan. The Japanese government issued the Three-year IT Emergency Plan in April 2009. In the 200 billion euro economic recovery plan announced at the end of 2008, the EU invested 5 billion euros in broadband network construction. These plans aim to combine the application of information technology with economic restructuring and enhance the confidence of society in coping with the crisis, which will not only promote the recovery of the real economy, but also breed a new round of technological and industrial changes. At present, China coal enterprises participate in international trade and M&A activities more and more frequently, and the speed of external expansion is unprecedented. Faced with this situation, we must accurately grasp the international development trend, accelerate the integration of informationization and industrialization, give full play to the role of informationization as an economic growth multiplier, a development mode converter and an industrial upgrading booster, and seize the commanding heights of development in the post-crisis era.

2. Pay close attention to the new trend of information technology development and actively carry out forward-looking research.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of information technology, the global Internet is upgrading to the next generation. Cloud computing, Internet of Things, "Smart Earth", "Perceptual Mine" and "Triple Play" are in the ascendant, which provide new impetus for the development of enterprise informatization. Coal enterprises, especially large coal enterprises, should pay close attention to the new trends and challenges of information technology development, actively grasp the new opportunities brought by new technologies, conduct in-depth research, plan ahead, form new core competitiveness, and grasp the initiative of future development.

3. We should accurately grasp the stage of enterprise informatization and adjust the focus of work in time.

During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the informatization construction of coal enterprises has been promoted rapidly, and many enterprises have begun to change from the "capital construction" stage to the "integration" stage. According to the statistics of the State Council SASAC, at present, 97.8% of central enterprises have realized financial management informationization, 97.4% of production enterprises have realized production management informationization, 88% of enterprises have realized human resources informationization, 79. 1% of enterprises have realized equipment management informationization, and 75.4% of enterprises have realized invoicing management informationization. Compared with domestic advanced central enterprises, the overall level of China's coal enterprises can not reach the above level. In this regard, coal enterprises should accurately grasp the stage of their own informatization, adjust the focus of work in time, and actively carry out deepening application work.

4. Benchmark the world and domestic advanced level, analyze the gap and speed up the informatization process.

Although the informatization level of coal enterprises has been greatly improved through efforts in recent years, there is still a big gap compared with the world advanced level and the domestic leading level. First, the overall level of informatization needs to be further improved. Second, the goal of informatization needs to be further clarified. The informatization work of some coal enterprises has not been carried out around the development strategy and core values of enterprises, and the key points cannot be grasped. It is necessary to further analyze and study according to its own reality, focus on development and transformation, and clarify the goal of informatization. Third, information-led needs to be further strengthened. At present, a considerable number of enterprises have not set up independent information function management departments, and some enterprises have set up specialized institutions but their work strength is weak. Coal enterprises should set up a special information department, and give corresponding responsibilities, equipped with a certain number of professional professionals. Fourth, the ability of information management and control needs to be further improved. Some enterprises have not implemented unified planning and group control of informatization according to the requirements of group operation, and the phenomenon of fragmented and decentralized construction of units at all levels still exists. It is necessary to further improve the group's management and control ability and information management level.

5. Consciously understand the information security situation to ensure the safe operation of the information system.

At present, the information security situation is grim. First, after large-scale informatization construction, the number of information systems has doubled, business dependence has increased, and system complexity has increased. The operation of information system has changed from a local single system to an integrated operation of a group-level integrated system, and the stable and reliable operation of the system is facing severe challenges. Second, various border attacks and intrusion scans from the Internet are increasingly frequent; Third, some organizations and individuals carry out purposeful malicious attacks, intrusions and infiltrations on government and enterprise network systems, and constantly renovate them; Fourth, some overseas institutions use the opportunity of providing consulting and certification services for large domestic enterprises to obtain a large amount of information, which has serious security risks. Coal enterprises should clearly understand the current information security situation, comprehensively investigate security risks, and ensure the safe and stable operation of information systems.
