Case Study: Cemin achieves safer mining operations with Camio

Cemin saves $4M+ in losses and protects employee health

Cemin, a copper and gold mining company with operations in Valparaíso, Chile, needed a fast and economical way to monitor mask wearing, social distancing, and contact tracing across its remote sites during Covid-19. With more than 300 employees living and working in close proximity, the company needed better visibility into compliance in shared spaces and work areas, and it turned to Camio’s real-time video search and alerting platform to help address the risk.

Using existing cameras and the Camio Box VM on Cemin’s VMware ESXi servers, Quipu Consulting deployed Camio in less than 45 minutes without any new hardware. Camio’s AI-driven dashboards, alerts, and video search helped track compliance, reduce false positives, and support reporting and education, resulting in more than 346,000 events monitored in one month and an estimated $4 million in loss prevention from avoided disruption.
