Global mining leader leverages AI to save 121,000+ hours annually

Global mining leader Vale faced a sudden forecasted surge in purchase volume that threatened to overload its operations team, so it needed to rapidly improve efficiency and streamline processes.

Using Automation Anywhere’s AI-powered Process Discovery, Vale captured and analyzed 370,000+ events with computer vision and AI, and generative AI identified five high-impact automations. The discovery was 89% faster (from months to days), enabling Vale to fast-track automation and save more than 121,000 hours of labor and approximately $5 million annually.
