The Necessity of Intelligent Safety Monitoring in Mines from Shanxi Mine Disaster!

2026-06-22

At 7:29 PM on May 22, 2026, a major gas explosion occurred at the Liushenyu Coal Mine in Changzhi, Shanxi Province, resulting in 82 deaths, 2 missing persons, and 128 injuries. These tragic figures have deeply affected the entire society. Preliminary investigations indicate that the root cause of the accident lies in the company's long-term illegal mining of concealed working faces, lack of personnel location tracking, and ineffective safety monitoring—a typical case of human error.

The Liushenyu Coal Mine accident is not an isolated incident, it reflects widespread shortcomings in current mine safety management. Each point points to a core loophole in safety monitoring: core transportation equipment such as underground wire ropes and conveyor belts operate under high loads for extended periods, frequently experiencing problems such as broken wires, corrosion, misalignment, and tearing, yet lacking 24-hour online monitoring. "Operating with defects" has become the normal, easily triggering secondary accidents.

In mine safety, prevention is paramount. As a high-tech enterprise deeply rooted in the fields of non-destructive testing and safety monitoring, Luoyang TST Flaw Detection Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the safety points of core mining equipment and has independently developed an intelligent online monitoring system for wire ropes/conveyor belts. With "real-time monitoring, accurate early warning, and intelligent analysis" as its core, this system fills the monitoring gaps in hidden areas and critical equipment in mines, using technical means to prevent the occurrence of tragedies caused by "human-caused fraud and lack of regulatory control."

1) Wire Rope Online Monitoring System: 24/7 Protection of the "Rope of Life"

As a core component of mine hoisting and transportation systems, the integrity of wire ropes directly affects the safety of personnel and equipment. Traditional manual inspection is inefficient, prone to errors, and cannot achieve real-time monitoring, easily overlooking minor damage.

Core Technology: Employing a dual detection technology of full magnetic detection + visual recognition, this system non-contactly collects real-time data on internal and external damage such as broken wires, wear, corrosion, and fatigue in wire ropes.

Core Functions: 24/7 unattended online monitoring; real-time data upload to the cloud platform; zero-delay early warning of abnormal damage; precise location of damage, quantitative analysis of damage severity, and generation of visualized inspection reports; supports simultaneous monitoring of multiple wire ropes, allowing for historical data traceability, operational trend analysis, and early prediction of scrapping cycles.

2) Conveyor Belt Safety Monitoring System: Comprehensive Prevention of "Transportation Hazards"

Conveyor belts are the "main artery" of mine material transportation. Problems such as misalignment, tearing, slippage, and idler roller failure not only affect production efficiency but also easily lead to major accidents such as fires and collapses. Traditional manual inspections are insufficient to cover long-distance conveyor lines.

Core Technology: Integrating full magnetic detection technology and AI image recognition technology, covering the entire conveyor belt, achieving "no blind spots, all-time" monitoring.

Core Functions: Real-time non-contact flaw detection without affecting the normal operation of the tested object; real-time monitoring of conveyor belt joint displacement, steel rope core wear, rust corrosion, fatigue, and other damage, providing millisecond-level early warning to prevent accidents from escalating; employing mask animation technology to reconstruct dynamic perspective images of the target based on detection data; intelligent analysis of operational data, providing complete damage images, charts, flaw detection reports, analysis reports, and historical data review queries to guide precise maintenance and reduce operation and maintenance costs.

Luoyang TST adheres to the philosophy of "technology safeguards safety, responsibility is paramount," deeply cultivating the field of mine safety monitoring and using independently innovated technologies to solve industry pain points. Our wire rope online monitoring system and conveyor belt safety monitoring system not only accurately monitor equipment hazards but also compel companies to standardize management, eliminate regulatory blind spots, and leave no room for violations to hide.
