en.Wedoany.com Reported - The engineering consulting firm is leveraging artificial intelligence as a strategic tool in Peruvian mining projects to optimize processes, improve information analysis, and accelerate decision-making across all stages of the mining lifecycle. This trend will be reflected in the agenda of the World Mining Congress 2026, which will bring together global industry leaders in Lima to discuss the future of mining, artificial intelligence, and data-driven decision-making.
According to data published by The Engineer magazine, 67% of engineering firms believe they could lose competitiveness within the next two years without significant progress in digital transformation. Additionally, 92% of companies already use generative AI in processes related to data analysis, automation of repetitive tasks, and technical information processing.
Andrés Obrecht, Vice President of Ausenco Perú, stated that demand for these tools is growing, creating opportunities to develop more efficient projects capable of addressing current industry challenges. He explained that AI can help process vast amounts of information, identify optimization opportunities, and accelerate complex technical processes, but it will not replace the judgment, experience, or analytical capabilities of human teams.
Obrecht noted that AI applications can create value across multiple stages of the mining lifecycle, including conceptual studies and pre-feasibility studies, detailed engineering, risk management, operational planning, water resource management, and infrastructure optimization. It can also improve simulations, automate data analysis, and facilitate modeling and technical evaluations. He believes investors seek strategic partners capable of combining technological innovation with engineering experience.
During the World Mining Congress 2026, Ausenco experts will participate in several technical sessions covering topics such as energy, water, and tailings integration in project development, structural integrity management of critical mining and industrial infrastructure, seepage analysis in filtered tailings storage facilities, and incorporating indigenous values and interests into mining projects. Delegates include Asset Optimization Advisor Felipe Villarreal, South America Regional Technical Manager Omar Mejías, Geotechnical Engineer Victor Puyén, and Social Performance Director María Inés Maita.
According to an IBM study, 86% of consulting service buyers say they actively seek companies that integrate AI and technology into their operations.
