Seven months ago, Las Cenizas and Antara began the project to implement traceability technology in the oxide plant for the management of copper cathodes, which allows the mining company to have an accurate record and monitoring of stock and production management.
This project, in addition to the technological implementation, was accompanied by the mission to operate traceability technology 100% with data stored in the cloud. This opening of traceability technology operation on servers that are in the cloud and are not proprietary. It is the first time that a mining company is doing it in conjunction with Antara, that is, it is the first time that traceability data is being carried in a cloud outside the company's server.
LATEST TECHNOLOGY
About four years ago, Grupo Minero Las Cenizas began to open its technological infrastructure with the idea of migrating all its information to the cloud, in search of being a company that was up to date with the latest technologies. Nowadays, to occupy the traceability technology under this type of infrastructure is one more step in this plan.
Claudio Ilabaca, Corporate IT superintendent at Grupo Minero Las Cenizas, highlighted some of the advantages that have been obtained with the migration, including "lower costs by avoiding renewing equipment and paying for data centers. In addition, we have obtained a secure, modern and more economical infrastructure". This migration has also allowed them to improve technologically and be at the forefront of the industry.
The cloud traceability project has been a carefully planned migration. First, it is necessary to ensure security and quick access to data and then migrate your system.
Rolando Jofré, Antara's CTO, says that "the migration process to the cloud is quite fast and expeditious, but above all, it must be carried out under the highest standards of quality and security. This is something we know at Antara, since we process very sensitive customer data, therefore, we are concerned that our platform operates with the best standards worldwide, in that sense we have a very strong alliance with Microsoft Azure".
