Peru is one of the most mineral-rich nations in the world, leading in the production of copper, gold, silver, and zinc, among others. The mining industry is crucial to Peru’s economic growth and is a centre of innovation and competitiveness. At the forefront of this progress is the Hub Innovación Minera del Perú, an organisation dedicated to building the mining of the future through innovation and collaboration.
We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Hub Innovación Minera del Perú, and start by sharing 15 corporate challenges fully available on our Matching Platform, representing 15 business opportunities for cutting-edge European startups!
Real-time solutions, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other digital tools are required to move the Peruvian industry forward. Find out if your solution is a fit:
- Monitoring real-time flow rates, discharges, and their impact.
- Real-time monitoring of mobile equipment and personnel in underground mines using Leaky Feeders or lighting systems.
- Detecting and preventing the advance of uncrushable in advance.
- Optimising energy consumption in crushing and grinding processes while reducing P80 in the tertiary crusher.
- Improving reagent dosing through automatic dosing valves and density control chambers for monitoring thickening in grinding and regrinding processes.
- Monitoring geomechanical failures remotely to prevent low-cost rockfall incidents inside mines.
- Measuring real-time bathymetry variables in sectors with high runoff flows and water reservoirs to assess storage and sediment volume.
- Measuring and characterising mineral hardness with sensors during the drilling stage.
- Preemptively identifying truck tyre failures using Artificial Intelligence.
- Improving indirect exploration methods with P-wave and S-wave velocity data from microseismic monitoring systems.
- Enhancing preventive and predictive maintenance of mine air compressors using machine learning techniques.
- Improving control over drilling and loading parameters to optimise the loading process of drill holes with explosives in advance fronts.
- Calculating contaminants in zinc refinery (roasting and purification) swiftly and cost-effectively.
- Automating the collection, analysis, and management of risk data from diverse news and event sources to enhance accuracy and efficiency in identifying and mitigating critical risks at mining units, thereby improving safety and community relations.
- Utilising core data from high tonnage mining truck combustion engines for proactive and predictive maintenance, encompassing models like the 793F, ultra class Komatsu 930, and various other brands.
These challenges are fully available for European startups on our Matching Platform. We invite them to join our community of EULACkers in this platform by registering and starting to match their innovative solutions to develop an EU-LAC Digital Business Partnership. Then you can apply for the Open Call #2 and if your cross-regional partnership is selected, receive in-kind acceleration services valued at up to 30,000 euros. Our services include a customised acceleration roadmap, design and implementation of a proof-of-concept, validation of the business model, and assessment of the partnership’s investment and scaling readiness.
Let’s connect your solution with these challenges here!
Soon, we will host an online session with our partner Hub Innovación Minera del Perú delving into these challenges. Stay tuned to the announcement.
