 Case stories
How our digital and automation solutions have supported our customers

35
Success Case 1
Chuquicamata UG Infrastructure – Personnel Tracking

• Chuquicamata was the 2nd largest open pit mine in the world, but 15
years ago started a transition to an Underground Mine. The early works
included the building of infrastructure, including highway-standard
entrance/exit tunnels, ventilation facilities and to underground mining.
The mine is owned by Codelco, they needed the location and number of
workers UG in case of any accident. Contract assigned initially to Becker
Mining.
• The construction of the main tunnels lasted 4 years. Included multiple
companies working in the same area:
• Joint Venture beyween Acciona OSSA – main access tunnels. 9 kms.
• Astaldi – ventilation tunnels - 2 tunnels 6 Kms each
• Mas Errazuriz – ventilation shaft. 1,100 x 9,8 m shaft

• The customer required a system that support multiple people entering

buses at 30 KM/hr in a 2 lanes ramp. The system should be easy to use
and easy to expand according the construction moved forward.
• Scalability was important, the construction started with 6 zones and eded
with 45. The system is still in use for the operation/expansion of the mine
with more than 125 zones and 10,000 active devices.
• The system includes transportation and construction equipment too..

The Solution
Tracking - MT Guardian over Identec Solutions

• This project has 3 main challenges:

• Multiple readings of many signals at the same time
• It needs to be easy to deploy and configure. The construction
moved and our specialist were not in field all the time.
• Battery lasting.
• Solution description
• For this problem we selected Identec Solutions’ technology.
• We used MT Guardian for the customer interface because there
were specific requirements of web based interface and reporting.
• The tag used was the iB350L CC or CC holder tag, then teplaced
for the iB350L R tags (because of the battery performance).
• The readers are all iB350 readers in different combinations ,
connected to the OT network.
• Interactive map providing drill down of the zones and Safety
Chambers monitoring
• Total price of the solution per contract:
• Initial deployment (in/out) – 350k USD
• Full construction scope (45 zones and 4,000 workers) – 1,2 MUSD.
Included some network extensions and kiosks.
• Operating mine expansion. 1,8 M USD. Included SMA for 3 years.

Success Case 2
UVA Mine - CEMIN

• UVA is a mid sized mine located near Santiago, it is owned

and operated by CEMIN, a local mining group.
• Despite its size, UVA is driven by technology and has always
been willing to spend to get the last technology on its
operations.
• They requested to have an automated system to track
personnel entering the mine, in order to eliminate manual
controls and optimize the movements of workers.
• UVA also required to have a control of the location of the
workers inside the mine, dividing it by levels.
• Once implemented, UVA saw the potential of the system to
allow the automatization of the paperwork required for truck
leaving the mine.

All rights reserved by Epiroc. 39

Success Case 3
PMChS – Fleet Management Solution

• PMChS is the project that is transforming the operations of

Chuquicamata (mine owned by Codelco and the 2nd largest open
pit mine in the world) to underground mining.
• The production method is block caving, making the control of the
ore extracted in each draw point a mandatory requirement, as it
ensuresFlexibility
an even load distribution and the stability of the mine.
• The customer tried Optimine by Sandvik, but the project was
unsuccessful (did not pass the SAT for automated cycle detection).
• The customer was looking for an FMS that could work with
different brands (the expected fleet would include Epiroc, Sandvik
and Caterpillar machines) and could be shaped to their needs.
• The system should also be able to control drilling rigs and trucks
and manage secondary blasting.

All rights reserved by Epiroc. 42

The Solution
PMChS
