China Nerin's Subsidiary Wins Bid for the Intelligent System Integration and Operational Maintenance Project of Kitumba Copper Mine in Zambia
Recently, Jiangxi Nerin Electric & Automation Co. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Nerin Electric” ), a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Nerin, has successfully secured the intelligent systems subcontract for Kitumba Copper Mine project in Zambia, owned by Sinomine Resource Group Co., Ltd.. This achievement marks another successful international deployment of China Nerin’s self-developed NDI Full-process Digital Intelligence Solution in the overseas mining market, fully demonstrating the company's technological strength and market competitiveness in the intelligentization sector of the non-ferrous metals industry.
Kitumba Copper Mine project in Zambia serves as a flagship overseas copper resource development project of Sinomine Resource Group Co., Ltd., with a total investment of approximately USD 563 million. This integrated mining-processing-smelting operation holds significant influence within Zambia's mining sector and represents a benchmark mining project under the Belt and Road Initiative. Focused on the full process intelligent construction, the project's core components align seamlessly with the NDI solution, encompassing the construction and operational maintenance services of key intelligent systems such as instrumentation control system, integrated communication system, intelligent lubrication system, equipment lifecycle management system, and tailings storage facility online monitoring system.
This contract award is not accidental, but a direct manifestation of China Nerin's technological strength, service capabilities, and global strategy. Under the overall guidance of China Nerin, leveraging China Nerin’s nearly seven decades of technical expertise and full industry chain service capabilities, Nerin Electric swiftly responded, efficiently promoted, and immediately formed a dedicated bidding team comprising seasoned experts from technology research and development, project management, engineering implementation, and other fields to deliver a customized, fully integrated intelligent solution tailored to the project's requirements. After the completion of the project, NDI will be used as the core to build a "smart brain" for the mine to eliminate data barriers across mining, processing, and smelting operations, achieve comprehensive digital integration of all operational workflows, enable intelligent process control throughout the mine, boost production and operation efficiency, enhance the safety production control line, help the project operate in a green and efficient manner, and contribute “Nerin Solution” to the intelligent upgrading of Zambia's mining industry.
Moving forward, China Nerin will take this project as a new start, continue to leverage its full industry chain technological advantages and global service capabilities, empower Nerin Electric to intensify its technological innovation and commercialization in the fields of industrial automation and non-ferrous metals intelligence, continuously iterate and upgrade NDI, and provide professional, efficient, and customized digital and intelligent transformation services for more domestic and overseas customers.
