The global energy sector is undergoing a profound digital and AI and green transformation. Andy Wu, President of Huawei’s Mining BU, delivered a keynote speech at the "Smart & Green Mining Forum." He highlighted the critical challenges facing the Indonesian mining industry: industrial diesel prices surged by over 44% in Q1 2026, with fuel now accounting for 38% to 42% of total operational expenditure (OPEX) in many mines. Despite the presence of world-class machinery, limited network coverage and intermittent data flow often leave site conditions invisible and assets underutilized. This creates a strategic misalignment characterized by "advanced equipment, but outdated operations."

Huawei relies on its core framework of the "Three Unifications." Guided by an "application-driven development" philosophy, the company focuses on three critical dimensions—connectivity, intelligent dispatch, and sustainability—to empower mines in building a robust digital foundation:

Huawei emphasized a fundamental paradigm shift in mining infrastructure: networks, data, and computing power have become just as essential to the operational bedrock as traditional roads and mining trucks. To address the industry's most pressing challenges, Huawei is leveraging its "Three Unifications" framework (architecture, standards, and data) alongside its strategic principle of "Value-driven construction" By zeroing in on three crucial pillars—connectivity, intelligent orchestration, and green practices—Huawei is helping mining enterprises lay a powerful digital foundation through three dimensions:

• Deterministic Connectivity: Utilizing 5G and industrial optical networks to link pits, roads, and wharves into a high-reliability network, transforming data into a true factor of production.

• Intelligent Scheduling: By breaking down data silos, mines can achieve reduced empty runs and higher equipment utilization. AI-driven technologies enhance overall collaborative efficiency across the site.

• Green Energy: Huawei is actively facilitating the transition from traditional fuel to solar-powered green electricity.

Huawei rolled out a full portfolio of smart mining solutions tailored for the Indonesian market

During the event, Huawei in collaboration with partners including Saptaindra Sejati, Yunding Technology, and Xapiens, released its full series intelligent mining solutions tailored for the Indonesian market.

Huawei has been deeply committed to the coal sector since 2020, collaborating with mining operators, equipment manufacturers, governments, and industry associations overcome complex technical hurdles through collaborative R&D. These collective efforts have already delivered significant proven results.

For instance, at the Huaneng Yimin Open-pit Mine in China, over 100 fully electric, autonomous mining trucks now operates as part of standard daily routines. This has boosted transport efficiency by more than 20% and reduced annual fuel costs by approximately $15 million.

Now, Huawei is bringing this momentum to Indonesia. By partnering with leading local enterprises, the company aims to deploy floating solar and energy storage systems, targeting an 80% green energy share by 2030 to secure the long-term competitive edge of Indonesian mining companies.

Andy Wu emphasized that the goal of mining intelligence is industrial upgrading—enhancing efficiency while keeping personnel away from hazardous environments, ensuring a more dignified workforce. Huawei is committed to liberating miners from dust and rain, allowing them to work from modernized command centers. Looking ahead, Huawei will continue its R&D investment and collaborate with global and local partners to inject new momentum into high-quality mining development, jointly shaping a sustainable and digitally empowered future for the industry.
