From September 23 to 25, the "National Coal Mine Intelligent Construction On-site Promotion Conference," organized by the Ministry of Emergency Management and the National Coal Mine Safety Administration, was grandly held at Shandong Energy Yankuang Group. Chinese State Councilor Wang Yong attended the conference and delivered an important speech emphasizing the need to "accelerate the intelligent construction of coal mines and significantly enhance their intrinsic safety level." The event brought together leaders and expert representatives from the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, National Energy Administration, China National Coal Association, Chinese Academy of Engineering, and leadership of coal mine enterprise and expert representatives.

Recommended by the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and the Shandong Coal Association, SMSP Sensor Photonics participated in the conference’s intelligent mining equipment exhibition as a provider of optical fibre sensing solutions focused on mining safety. Our company showcased its self-developed mining laser methane and other gas sensors, laser methane detection and alarm devices, as well as a series of optical fibre distributed temperature sensors, fibre Bragg grating vibration, displacement, pressure, micro seismic, wind speed, and humidity sensors. Based on these products.

SMSP Sensor Photonics has established fibre optic information systems for coal mine gas safety monitoring, goaf fire detection, micro seismic and rock burst monitoring, roof and surrounding rock deformation/stress monitoring, key equipment condition monitoring and fault diagnosis, and emergency communication. The core products attracted widespread attention and high praise from conference leaders and industry experts.

During the conference, leaders from the Shanxi Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, Luxi Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, Guizhou Energy Bureau, Henan Energy Group, Hebei Tangshan Kailuan Group Technology Centre, and Taiyuan Coal Research Institute visited SMSP’s exhibition booth for detailed inspections. They gained in-depth understanding of the market progress of the laser methane modules and the development status of the laser methane alarm devices, with particular focus on mass production capabilities and whether they can meet market demands for the upcoming upgrade of monitoring systems.

The visitors emphasized that the features of the laser methane sensors—self-diagnosis, calibration-free operation, and ultra-low power consumption—are of great significance for promoting technological progress in the industry.

Meanwhile, leaders and experts from various coal mines under Shandong Energy Group and Jining Energy Group visited our booth to inspect the optical fibre product series. They showed keen interest in SMSP’s new generation of intrinsically safe distributed temperature sensing systems, shaft wall deformation monitoring systems, and fibre optic micro seismic monitoring systems, inquiring in detail about the structural functions and performance metrics of the optical fibre sensors. Discussions were also held on strengthening future cooperation between the parties.

Adhering to the principles of focus, professionalism, and collaboration, our company is committed to the research and development of mining laser/fibre optic sensors and monitoring systems. The company aims to complement strengths with industry peers and jointly advance the development of China’s intelligent mining industry.
