Abstract:
In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the research hotspots and development directions of intelligent logistics technology applications in coal mines both domestically and internationally, and to further study the research hotspots, technological evolution, and future trends in this field. Using CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and WOS (Web of Science) databases as data sources, and utilizing visualization tools CiteSpace and bibliometric methods, this paper compares the development of intelligent logistics technology applications in coal mines between China and foreign countries, and conducts knowledge graph analysis on literature in this field from 2004 to 2023. The results indicate that domestic research focuses on improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and reliability of coal mine logistics systems, achieving real-time monitoring and digital management through technologies such as RFID, sensors, and cloud computing, and optimizing logistics model algorithms to enhance resource utilization efficiency. However, foreign research places more emphasis on the application and innovation of advanced technologies, especially the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and VR/AR technology in coal mine logistics automation, intelligent management, training, and safety, while emphasizing environmental protection and sustainable development. The research hotspots cover coal mine production management, intelligent equipment application, green mine construction and system optimization, conveyor belt technology, etc. On the trend, intelligent logistics technology in coal mines is gradually transforming towards high intelligence and artificial intelligence. Both domestically and internationally are committed to promoting the application of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, but there are differences in market demand, policy support, and technological paths. The study also pointed out that issues such as the depth of domestic and international technological innovation, interdisciplinary integration, standardization construction, and technological costs still need to be addressed.
