SK Godelius wrapped up a successful week at Expomin 2025, Latin America’s largest mining industry trade show, held at Espacio Riesco in Santiago. Our team was on-site to present our latest innovations in automation, robotics, and remote operations, technologies that are reshaping the future of mining.<\/p>\n
As part of our commitment to creating safer, more efficient, and sustainable mining environments, SK Godelius shared the stage with leading industry players and had the opportunity to connect with hundreds of clients, partners, and future collaborators.<\/p>\n
The centrepiece of our participation was the robotics display at the Sigdo Koppers booth<\/strong>, where SK Godelius, part of the Sigdo Koppers Group, showcased a wide range of autonomous and remote-operated systems in action. The live demonstrations drew constant attention, highlighting how advanced robotics are already transforming mining operations across inspection, sampling, and remote tasks.<\/p>\n Visitors saw firsthand the capabilities of SK Godelius\u2019 multi-platform robotic systems, designed to operate in hazardous, hard-to-reach, or extreme environments. From rugged terrain to underground tunnels, our robots are built to support safe, continuous, and data-rich mining operations.<\/p>\n We were especially honoured to receive a visit from Chile\u2019s Minister of Mining, Aurora Williams<\/strong>, who stopped by our booth to learn more about the technologies SK Godelius is developing and deploying both in Chile and internationally.<\/p>\n Among the systems featured was our Conveyor Belt Inspection System, jointly developed with Grupo Antofagasta Minerals and currently deployed at Minera Zald\u00edvar. This robot inspects conveyor belts autonomously using cameras, sensors, and real-time data analysis to detect anomalies, prevent failures, and keep personnel out of high-risk areas.<\/p>\n This project exemplifies how smart automation not only enhances operational efficiency but also improves safety and reliability in critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n As part of the event\u2019s technical program, two key members of the SK Godelius leadership team shared insights through expert presentations:<\/p>\n Fernando Bracco<\/strong>, CEO of SK Godelius, delivered a compelling talk on the role of advanced robotics and remote operations in mining, highlighting how these technologies are enabling a safer, more productive future by replacing high-risk tasks with automated systems.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Andr\u00e9s Alvarado<\/strong>, Director of Engineering for Chile and Canada, presented on robotic inspection systems for conveyor belts, diving into the real-world deployment of autonomous units at Minera Zald\u00edvar and the operational value they\u2019re already delivering.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Their participation underscored SK Godelius\u2019 role not just as a technology developer, but as a thought leader driving change in the mining sector.<\/p>\n Throughout the week, SK Godelius presented its family of robotic platforms designed for rugged, hazardous, and complex mining environments. These systems include:<\/p>\n Autonomous Soil Sampling Robots<\/strong> Robotic Inspection Units<\/strong> Modular and Platform-Agnostic Designs<\/strong> Each robot is designed to operate in harsh conditions and support remote or semi-autonomous operations, addressing both safety and productivity challenges in modern mining.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s Expomin brought together over 1,200 exhibitors and 70,000 attendees from around the globe. SK Godelius\u2019 participation was more than a showcase, it was a reaffirmation of our belief that mining can be transformed through intelligent, human-centred technology.<\/p>\n Our CEO, engineers, and commercial team engaged in meaningful conversations with stakeholders from Chile, Canada, Brazil, and beyond, discussing how SK Godelius’ expertise can support greenfield and brownfield projects alike.<\/p>\n As the mining sector continues to evolve, SK Godelius remains committed to developing technologies that address real operational needs, improving safety, reducing environmental impact, and expanding access to areas that are unsafe or unreachable for human workers.<\/p>\n To those who visited us at Expomin: thank you. Your curiosity, questions, and ideas help drive our innovation forward. And to those investing in technology, you are leading the new era of mining.<\/p>\n If you missed us at Expomin or want to explore our technologies in more detail, we invite you to connect with our team. We\u2019ll be happy to share case studies, demos, and discuss how SK Godelius solutions can fit into your operations.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udce9 Contact us<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or follow us on LinkedIn<\/a> for more updates.<\/p>\nReal-World Impact: Conveyor Belt Inspection System at Minera Zald\u00edvar<\/h2>\n
