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.

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.

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.
