Copper is very expensive, costing 68,760 yuan per ton. In our daily lives, copper is both familiar and unfamiliar.
For a long time, copper has played an extremely important role in the development of China's national economy, with its use permeating every stage of development. According to usage statistics, China's copper consumption is mainly concentrated in the end-use industries of electricity, air conditioning and refrigeration, transportation, electronics and information, and construction.

The amount of copper used in new energy vehicles is far higher than that in gasoline and diesel vehicles. A hybrid vehicle uses 40 kg of copper, a plug-in hybrid vehicle needs 60 kg of copper, and a pure electric vehicle uses as much as 83 kg of copper.
In the electric vehicle industry, 600,000 tons of copper were used in 2021, and it is expected to increase to 2.9 million tons by 2030, a fivefold increase in ten years (Wood Mackenzie research). Including Chinese companies, the whole world is desperately looking for copper mines, but almost no new copper mines have been discovered in recent years.
From 2011 to 2020, only 15 new copper mines were discovered globally in 10 years, and the geological conditions are getting worse and worse. No copper mine locations have been explored since 2020.
However, with the rapid rise of the Chinese economy, the domestic market's demand for copper materials has continued to grow. Since 2005, China has been the world's largest producer and consumer of refined copper for at least 18 consecutive years.
Although China's copper ore production is considerable, it is still lagging behind the ever-increasing demand, and we can only rely on continuous imports to meet the demand. Such a high degree of external dependence seriously threatens the supply security of China's copper resources. In 2016, the "100 Achievements of Geological Survey in China" compiled by the China Geological Survey ranked copper ore as one of China's major and urgently needed mineral resources.

In the face of the situation and problems facing the development of China's copper industry, we should actively change our business development philosophy, turn passive into active, and achieve high-quality development of the copper industry in the "new track" of practicing green energy development.

Therefore, for copper mining enterprises, copper mining and selection equipment enterprises, or copper smelting enterprises, in addition to production technology, production scale, and green environmental protection, continuous innovation and iteration of technical methods are also the cornerstone of sustainable development. Jumper Technology, as a provider of integrated intelligent ore picking solutions, has independently developed the JPXRT1400/2000 intelligent ore picking machine, which is suitable for all ore types and has also shown its strength in the intelligent picking of copper ore. Since the launch of the equipment, it has completed intelligent ore picking tests or put into formal production operation in more than 60 copper mining enterprises, and has obtained the recognition and praise of customers with actual data and results.
The JPXRT intelligent ore picking machine is based on X-ray perspective and material identification. It uses advanced technologies such as machine vision detection technology, big data, deep learning, and high-performance computing to accurately analyze and identify each piece of ore. It uses a high-speed air gun to accurately strike, achieving effective separation and picking of ore and waste rock; suitable for mining enterprises such as ore dressing plants, mines, and slag dumping sites, and metallurgical enterprises that use metallurgical production waste sorting.
The fully automatic coal gangue intelligent picking machine is a new generation of intelligent block coal gangue sorting equipment based on advanced imaging and artificial intelligence technology. Using the material characteristics obtained by the X-ray imaging system, it automatically analyzes and identifies coal and gangue, controls high-pressure air to blow the target, and realizes fully automatic raw coal sorting; suitable for gangue removal in raw coal preparation workshops, pre-gangue removal in coal transportation stations, pre-treatment of materials in coal washing plants, coal gangue sorting in arid and cold regions, and gangue removal in old coal mine building renovation.
The smart mine overall solution, by realizing the interconnection, interconnection, digitalization, perception, and intelligence of smart mines, can ensure the safe production of smart mines, improve the production efficiency of smart mines, and promote the faster and better development of smart mines, moving towards unmanned mines, safe mines, and green mines.
