MINE-WATCH UNDERGROUND

Real-time data visibility for better decision-making in your mining operations.

Experiences

Solutions in various mines are proof of how strategic collaboration and technological development can effectively address the challenges of the mining sector, taking fleet management and productivity to new levels of excellence and sustainability.

Increase in revenue

Cost savings

BURITICÁ MINE

Located in the mid-belt of the Cauca River in the northwestern region of Colombia.

Extraction Fleet: Reduction of Dumper equipment idling, equivalent to 10% of engine hours.

The VIBOT in the equipment cabin generates a visual and audible alert for the operator to turn off the equipment after 5 minutes.

The 10% reduction already pays for the Mine-watch system.

EL LIMÓN MINE

The El Limón-Guajes (ELG) mine is one of the largest gold producers in Mexico.

Torex drilling fleet: Reduction in breakdowns of Jumbo and Bolter drilling machines.

With a wireless pressure and temperature sensor in the oil line, it generates an audible and visual alert in the cabin to indicate the need for preventive maintenance.

Replacing a drilling machine costs over 10,000 USD, while preventive maintenance costs around 1,000 USD.

BURITICÁ MINE

Development Fleet: Increase in meters developed per shift.

Control of all cycle times for the fronts, arrivals and departures of equipment, along with idle times.

Contractor companies can increase the utilization of their equipment, improving their operational margins.

 

SAN GERÓNIMO MINING CO.

Increase of 1 to 2 Dumper extraction cycles per shift.

Visibility improved revenues, departures, and idle times of the operation.

This has resulted in a significant increase in production one year after the implementation of the Mine-Watch system.

"Given the improved shift utilization, there are days when we finish work before the end of the shift. We no longer need the extraction equipment all the time, so we have been able to progress on other pending tasks."

Samuel Tapia, Shift Supervisor at San Antonio Underground Mine, CMSG

"Currently, mining faces the technical challenge of operating in remote, underground locations without internet connectivity, so technologies like the one being tested at Minera Pullalli could be very beneficial for the industry."

Claudio Campos, Corporate Planning Manager, Mining Holding CEMIN

"Fortunately,  through the collaborative work between Vigalab, Mine-Watch, San Gerónimo's management, and operations, we have successfully increased productivity, which has been significant." 

Patricio Rendic Munizaga, Superintendent of Planning and Technology, CMSG
