Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions is delivering its AutoMine
® Fleet system to automate a new fleet of Sandvik loaders at Codelco’s Pacifico Superior and Pilar Norte GTI, which are part of the El Teniente mine in Chile. This partnership supports Codelco’s vision to create one of the most sophisticated mines in the world.
AutoMine Fleet is a highly advanced automation system for a fleet of Sandvik underground loaders and trucks sharing the same automated production area. It provides automatic mission control and automatic traffic management for the equipment fleet, while system operators remotely supervise the process.
The system will enable Codelco to operate its new fleet of Sandvik LH517i and Sandvik LH621i loaders autonomously at the El Teniente mine, one of the world’s largest underground copper mines. The project implementation started in December 2020 and is expected to be completed by mid-2021.
