Recently, the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology officially announced the list of typical blockchain application cases in Shandong Province for 2024, and the application case of China Coal Group's 'Blockchain-based Yikuang Cloud Edge Device Management System' was successfully selected. This honor signifies that China Coal Group's innovative capabilities and practical achievements in the field of blockchain technology application have been highly recognized by the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology.

This selection not only affirms China Coal Group's innovative capabilities and practical achievements in the application of blockchain technology but also recognizes the group's efforts in promoting the development of the industrial internet across the province. China Coal Group will take this selection as an opportunity to continuously deepen the "integration of digital and physical," adhere to a point-to-surface approach, and leverage industry applications to promote the digitalization and intelligent development of industry using advanced computing technologies such as blockchain. The group will continue to focus on its advantageous industries such as intelligent equipment and e-commerce, with a key layout in the industrial internet project of the coal mining machinery industry, Yikuang Cloud Platform, driving and leading the digital development of the industry, and making new and greater contributions to the digital transformation of the national machinery industry.

It is reported that the collection of typical blockchain application cases in Shandong Province aims to implement the 'Shandong Province Blockchain Technology Innovation and Industry Development Action Plan (2024-2025)' and promote the application of blockchain technology on a larger scale and at a deeper level. After multiple stages including unit declaration, review by recommending units, and expert group evaluation, the 'Blockchain-based Yikuang Cloud Edge Device Management System' of China Coal Group stood out and became one of the 31 selected cases.

China Coal Group has been committed to independent technological innovation, deepening the integrated development of new generation information technology and manufacturing. The group's independently developed Yikuang Cloud platform deeply integrates emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and edge computing, forming a full chain capability of cloud, network, edge, and terminal. The "Blockchain-based Yikuang Cloud Edge Device Management System," selected this time, is another important achievement of the Yikuang Cloud platform in the application of blockchain technology. This system utilizes the decentralized, tamper-proof, and traceable characteristics of blockchain technology to achieve efficient management and safety monitoring of industrial Internet devices in the coal mining machinery industry. By building a local edge chain that connects with the business chain, the system can collect device data in real-time, conduct intelligent analysis and early warning, effectively improving the operational efficiency and safety of the equipment. At the same time, the system has also established a blockchain-based digital archive, providing strong support for the full lifecycle management of the equipment.
