Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company is a pioneer in applying technology and digital transformation on all production and management fronts. Faced with increasing pressure on output, costs and sustainable development requirements, Ha Tu Coal has applied innovative solutions, applying science and technology to all areas of production and management. This is not only an inevitable trend in the context of coal industry modernization, but also a breakthrough solution to help businesses improve their competitiveness and optimize operational efficiency. One of the outstanding achievements is the digitization of equipment records, monitoring operating hours, maintenance schedules and technical status, making management more accurate and proactive. Specialized software from KOMATSU and CATERPILLAR has also been put into use to read black box data, analyze operational performance, thereby providing technical adjustment plans and training workers in line with reality.
Along with digital transformation, the Company also actively applies GPS positioning systems to control equipment routes, thereby optimizing operating schedules, saving costs and minimizing wear and tear. At the same time, the use of automatic control technology in power stations and pumping stations is also being researched and invested in, replacing manual operations, improving safety and productivity. Currently, Ha Tu Coal Joint Stock Company is building a comprehensive equipment management software system, applying AI to analyze operating data, predict failures, and switch from passive maintenance to proactive maintenance. At the same time, in-depth training for technical staff and encouraging innovative initiatives continue to be focused on.
Meanwhile, Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company - the main unit of TKV - is also affirming its pioneering role in innovation, aiming to build a modern, safe and efficient mine model. Over the past 5 years, the Company has implemented 1,211 technical initiatives, with a total value of more than 47 billion VND. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, 68 initiatives were recognized, focusing on improving equipment, rationalizing production lines and increasing tool life. These initiatives not only save costs and increase output, but also directly improve the working environment, reduce manual labor and increase safety in the mine.
One of the outstanding advances is the successful application of synchronous mechanization technology at the longwall 7 and longwall 8 of the Gieng Vang Danh area. From 2020 to present, this system has contributed an average of 450,000 tons of coal each year, equivalent to 17.5% of the Company's underground mining output. In addition, the application of diagonal tunneling technology using the ZRY soft rig at 2 to 3 longwalls and mechanization of tunnel digging with the EBH-45 machine has created a major change in tunnel digging, with an average output of 2,000-2,300m3 per year.
Not stopping there, Vang Danh Coal is continuing to invest in modern production lines such as Combai machines for stone tunneling projects down to -175 depth, aiming for comprehensive automation in tunnel transportation and loading and unloading. These devices not only increase tunneling speed, but also minimize risks for workers in harsh working environments. Thanks to drastic innovation, Vang Danh Coal maintains a stable growth momentum. It is expected that in the first 6 months of 2025, coal mining output will reach over 2.1 million tons, with the average income of workers reaching 21.8 million VND/person/month.
In fact, in recent years, TKV has made a clear change in thinking and working methods when promoting the application of science and technology in coal and mineral exploitation. Many stages in the production line have now been mechanized and automated, contributing to reducing labor, increasing productivity and ensuring greater safety for miners. Many previously manual stages have now been automated and mechanized, helping to increase productivity and minimize risks for workers. At units such as Ha Lam Coal Joint Stock Company, Mao Khe Coal, Hon Gai Coal, Nam Mau Coal, etc., modern equipment such as EBH-45 tunnel digging machines, Combai machines and mechanized longwalls are no longer pilot projects but have become the main production force, contributing 15-20% of total underground output.
With a synchronous and drastic technology innovation strategy, TKV is gradually realizing the goal of building a modern, safe and sustainably developing coal industry in the coming period.
