  • EPCM copper sorting machine
    Implementing AI at Codelco revolutionizes mine with copper sorting machine

    As the world’s largest copper producer, Codelco produces 1.7 million tons of fine copper per year. Headquartered in Chile, Codelco explores, develops, extracts and processes mineral resources that are converted into refined copper and by-products. The Radomiro Tomic Mine in Calama, Chile produces high grades of copper sold on the global market. The client had previously installed an automated copper cathode sorting machine system with little success.

  • Industry 4.0: Increasing throughput in manufacturing through integrated technology
    Industry 4.0: Increasing throughput in manufacturing using integrated technology

    Based in the US, our client is a leading North American specialty paint manufacturer. In 2020, our client was in the process of conducting a broad review of their production processes across a number of plants. In conjunction with that review, they were looking to get a clearer understanding of a specific batch manufacturing process in terms of throughput, speed, and capacity.

  • Driving tankhouse operation gains with cathode repair
    Driving tankhouse operation gains with cathode repair

    Headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, Aurubis is a leading worldwide provider of non-ferrous metals. As one of Europe’s largest copper producers, The Aurubis Group produces more than 1 million tonnes of marketable copper cathodes each year. In 2019, Aurubis decided to improve the cathode repair quality in its copper operations.

  • Remote commissioning of a cathode stripping machine
    Managing the impact of COVID-19 with remote commissioning of a robotic Cathode Stripping Machine

    Located in Peru, Marcobre’s Mina Justa is a new copper mine development producing high purity electrolytic copper cathodes. With production starting in 2021, the cathode stripping machine project is projected to produce 160,000 tons per annum of copper contained in cathodes and concentrates.
