en.Wedoany.com Reported - The second edition of Codea Mining Fest has solidified its position as a key space for celebrating mining technology and its developers, bringing together the industry's largest community of data scientists. Thanks to the enthusiastic response from the community and businesses, the festival is becoming an unmissable annual event.
Bill Maquin Valladares, CEO and founder of Codea UNI, stated that the event saw a significant improvement in both quality and scale compared to the previous edition. The event duration was extended from one day to two to accommodate a richer agenda. Booths were upgraded from small setups for eight brands to larger ones (3×4 meters and 3×2 meters), while both lecture halls operated at full capacity. Over 1,000 registered visitors attended, with delegations from multiple mining companies and international brands participating.
Participating companies included JEBI, IMSS, Astay, Famesa, Flanders, Komatsu, and three drone distributors focused on mining aviation. Minera Chinalco, represented by Production Director Alfonso Muñoz, also provided significant input.
During the panel discussions, the topic of automation and autonomy successfully brought together, for the first time, four major autonomy suppliers: Ferreyros, Epiroc, Komatsu, and Flanders. They discussed automation in Peruvian operations, the challenges of adapting global technologies to local conditions, and continuous learning in the industry. The Integrated Operations Center panel featured three managers, including Alfonso Muñoz from Chinalco and Cynthia Lozano from Angloamerican Quellaveco, who exchanged ideas on regional concepts and operational management. The conference also included specialized sessions on geology, metallurgy, and maintenance, as well as a panel on geometallurgy applied to mining, with international guest Juan Anes from Canada.
The event provided a networking platform for technology companies and support service firms, fostering ideas that could lead to prototypes and new market launches. The goals centered on making mining operations more efficient and safer, improving site management, and consolidating a data-driven culture. Organized by CodeaUNI, the event's mission is to accelerate the transition to digital mining. As part of its innovative approach, the organization continues to refine its comprehensive training methods, incorporating virtual reality (VR) and developing customized web and mobile applications.
The organization is already preparing for the third Codea Mining Fest, planned for March or April next year. The next edition aims for exponential growth and international expansion. The future vision is to maintain a space where professionals can discuss technology directly in clear language, fostering collaboration to design joint solutions for the real challenges of the mining industry.
