Copper mine seeks a closer view of logistical operations

摘要

The world's third-biggest copper mine is upgrading the ABB software it uses to oversee the product and logistics processes underpinning its operations. Collahuasi copper mine on Chile's Andean Plateau is one of the planet's largest copper deposits in terms of mineral resources (9,978 million tons). Like many other sectors, mining is seeing a convergence of information and operational technologies, with previously analogue and manual processes now merging with digital elements. While this generally helps companies better understand their asset base, it also adds complexity.
