en.Wedoany.com Reported - In an important space for reflection on Peruvian mining, heavy machinery leader Ferreyros has emphasized how autonomous and remote operation of equipment, connectivity, integrated data management, digitalization, and electrification are key axes of technological transformation in the industry, driving productivity, safety, and sustainability.
At the technical forum of the National Mining Congress (Conamin) held this week in Trujillo, the company analyzed the significant impact of intelligent data management on the sector. Alonso Gutiérrez, Deputy Commercial Manager for Large-Scale Mining at Ferreyros, assessed the contribution and development potential of intelligent data in predictive maintenance, optimization of mining fleet operations, and strategic decision-making in other areas, alongside representatives from Cerro Verde and Deloitte.
At a booth, the company showcased its portfolio of leading solutions for the mining industry. Additionally, on Thursday, Ferreyros held a conference on remote operation of tractors and drill rig autonomy, a technology based on Caterpillar's MineStar system, presented by mining technology expert Rony Saldaña.
Consistent with its technological leadership, Ferreyros recently appeared at the XVI International Mining Symposium and Conference, where Santiago Basualdo, Central Manager for Large-Scale Mining, discussed the significance of mining autonomy. He stated that due to its consistent contribution to productivity and safety, its adoption will continue to grow. Ferreyros is a pioneer in this field in Peru, having begun implementing autonomous trucks five years ago. Currently, over 30 vehicles are successfully operating, and autonomy has been extended to drilling. Similarly, the company is implementing autonomy in underground mining.
Basualdo noted that electrification, driven by Caterpillar, which he represents, will be decisive for the future of mining, bringing more efficient processes and lower costs while aligning with the industry's sustainability goals. He participated in a panel on technology and innovation alongside executives from Grupo Unacem, First Quantum Minerals, LATAM Airlines Perú, and Agrícola Cerro Prieto.
With 103 years of history, Ferreyros is a leading company in the machinery sector and has been the representative of Caterpillar in Peru since 1942.
