At MWC 2025, being attended by IM Editorial Director, Paul Moore, Huawei is demonstrating to customers and clients how Huawei Cloud CVADCS “is transforming open-pit mining operations through intelligent vehicle-cloud synergy.” The company adds: “With a remarkable increase in operational efficiency of up to 135%, our solution facilitates safe and efficient smart driving.” As recently covered in IM, the system is being used at Zijin Mining’s Julong copper mine in Tibet, operating at an altitude of 5,000 m, which Huawei says “serves as a testament to our technological capabilities, featuring regular smart driving in extreme conditions.”
Huawei Cloud CVADCS is an intelligent vehicle-cloud synergy platform developed by Huawei Cloud, designed to empower the mining industry with smart driving with advanced connectivity, data analytics, and AI-driven solutions. CVADCS integrates cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence “to enable smarter, safer, and more efficient vehicle management and operations. It serves as a bridge between vehicles and the cloud, facilitating seamless communication, real-time data processing, and intelligent decision-making.”
Huawei Cloud CVADCS aims to set a new benchmark for intelligent upgrades in the mining sector globally. “Our CVADCS incorporates advanced sensor technologies and data analytics to ensure that operations continue seamlessly, even in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and dust storms with visibility dropping to 40 m. This robust solution guarantees precise positioning and performance, enabling real-time adaptability to complex road environments and obstacles.”
Key features of CVADCS on the vehicle capabilities side include unified management and flexible scheduling of multiple vehicles and groups to enhance operational efficiency; plus real-time monitoring of vehicle status, with dynamic maps updated in minutes to ensure automatic generation and precise positioning of collection, loading, and dump sites.
Its cloud capabilities included converged sensing capabilities allow for uninterrupted operations in adverse weather conditions with poor visibility of 40 m, ensuring reliability and safety; while converged positioning technology delivers precision and robustness, maintaining real-time performance even under various interferences. Precise control systems provide tracking and operational oversight of smart mining vehicles, optimising performance and safety.
In addition to fleet scheduling management and real-time monitoring, CVADCS employs a sophisticated supervision platform that continuously assesses the health of both software and hardware components. This includes health self-checks, alarm reporting, and fault analysis for proactive maintenance and recovery. “By analysing production data, our system can predict trends and adjust operational policies, while the service map is dynamically updated, allowing for accurate positioning of operational areas without manual intervention.”
By enhancing the synergy between vehicle and cloud systems, Huawei Cloud CVADCS Huawei says significantly boosts the efficiency of smart driving, surpassing traditional manual methods.
The company concludes: “As we expand our footprint globally, Huawei Cloud CVADCS is dedicated to introducing intelligent and efficient operational models to a variety of sectors, including mines, ports, and campuses. Through ongoing technological innovation and optimisation, we are committed to promoting sustainable development within the global mining industry and beyond.”
