WAYTOUS, a Chinese intelligent mining technology and service provider incubated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is committed to promoting China’s new energy security strategy to develop in depth and breadth through scientific and technological innovation, driving the high-quality development of the Chinese industry through intelligent construction, and strengthening China’s global voice in the mining industry in the digital era so that mines can be safer, greener, more efficient and smarter. WAYTOUS has strong technical strength in unmanned and intelligent mine construction. The chief scientist, Prof. Wang Feiyue, is a pioneer in international intelligent control and the founder of Chinese intelligent control. Supported by its internationally original parallel theory, WAYTOUS has developed an autonomous and controllable parallel mine operating system—“YuKon”. As an intelligent mine operating system applicable to all types of mines and scenarios, “YuKon” plays an important role in breaking through the key technological “barriers”. WAYTOUS has rendered services to domestic top energy and mine groups including CNH Energy, China Huaneng Group, SPIC, China Datang Corporation, China Baowu Group, China Coal Group, BBMG Corporation, and CR Cement, with more than 30 unmanned mine projects implemented. Meanwhile, WAYTOUS has made strategic arrangements in park logistics, engineering machinery intellectualization, short-distance transportation, and intelligent networking construction.
