Sany Smart Mining Invited to IEEE CASE 2026 to Share Autonomous Mining Practices
August 22,2026
From August 17th to 21st, the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (IEEE CASE 2026) was successfully held in Shenyang. This conference was hosted by the National Frontier Science Center for Industrial Intelligence and System Optimization at Northeastern University, with Professor Tang Lixin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Northeastern University, serving as the conference chair. The conference centered on the theme of "Intelligent Industry," building a top-tier global exchange platform for in-depth integration of industry, academia, and research in the field of automation.
Authoritative Academic Event, Building a Bridge for Industry-Academia-Research Innovation
IEEE CASE is a flagship automation professional conference under the globally renowned professional technical organization IEEE's Robotics and Automation Society (RAS). It has a history of 22 years and is recognized internationally as one of the highest-level academic exchange platforms in the fields of automation, autonomous systems, and industrial intelligence.
This conference gathered top global scholars and leading manufacturing enterprise technology experts to explore the future path of the automation industry. It attracted hundreds of academic and industrial expert representatives from over 20 countries and regions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Canada, and New Zealand. They shared the latest research progress in areas such as cutting-edge science of control systems, emerging technologies in automation systems, and practical applications of industrial and systems engineering, providing an international dialogue window for collaborative innovation between industry, academia, and research.
Sany Invited to Attend, Sharing China's Unmanned Mining Solutions
With its full-stack self-developed technical capabilities and leading domestic scale commercialization results, Sany Smart Mining has become a leading enterprise in intelligent mining equipment invited to give a keynote speech at this conference. It shared a complete sample of China's smart mine unmanned driving industrialization practices with the global academic community.
This keynote speech focused on Sany's smart mine unmanned transportation solution, systematically dissecting it from dimensions such as full-stack self-developed software and hardware core, scaled results in multiple mining areas, and long-term customer value benefits. It fully demonstrated the complete practical path of a set of unmanned transportation equipment from laboratory algorithm iteration to large-scale commercial use in open-pit mines, providing a reference industry model for the development and engineering implementation of complex heavy-load autonomous operation systems globally.
This solution is deeply customized for extreme complex working conditions in open-pit mines, such as bumpy roads, multiple interferences, heavy loads, and 24/7 continuous operation. It relies on the company's self-developed perception, positioning, planning control, and cloud control platform full set of software and hardware technologies to build a high-safety, high-reliability, and high-capacity fully unmanned operation system. After the project is put into use, it can significantly reduce the safety risks for miners, reduce the overall operational costs, and increase the overall transportation capacity, achieving a collaborative optimization of safety, efficiency, and cost.
Data Proves Strength, Industry-Academia-Research Cycle Accelerates Mine Industry Transformation
As of July 2026, Sany Smart Mining's commercial operation of unmanned driving has accumulated the deployment of over 300 unmanned mining trucks, with more than ten unmanned transportation projects implemented in large open-pit mining areas in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and other domestic regions. The cumulative safe operation mileage has exceeded 13 million kilometers, and the total volume of earth and rock transportation has exceeded 41 million cubic meters.
Spanning diverse working conditions such as high temperature, high cold, high dust, and mixed operation, it fully verifies the stability, universality, and maturity of the self-developed autonomous driving system. It also provides the R&D team with a rare real-scene database of mine autonomous systems, supporting the iteration and optimization of cutting-edge algorithms in return, forming a virtuous industry-academia-research closed loop of "academic research — technology transformation — industrial implementation — data feedback to R&D".
Sany Smart Mining's appearance on the IEEE CASE international top academic platform is an important milestone for its autonomous mine unmanned driving technology to gain global recognition in the field of automation authority. Next, Sany Smart Mining will continue to deepen industry-academia-research joint innovation with domestic and international universities and research institutes, continuously iterating mine unmanned transportation solutions. At the same time, it will accelerate the expansion and implementation of unmanned transportation solutions in various mine scenarios domestically and internationally, exporting replicable Chinese mine unmanned solutions, empowering the green, safe, and efficient digital transformation of the global mining industry with cutting-edge technology, and promoting the high-quality development of the
