Case Study: Goldcorp achieves $1.5–$2.5M annual energy savings and 45–50 minute faster emergency response with Webex by Cisco

Goldcorp - Customer Case Study

Goldcorp, a Vancouver-based mining company operating the Éléonore underground mine in remote northern Canada, faced the dual challenge of maximizing production efficiency and controlling costs while keeping workers safe in a harsh, complex environment. The company needed real-time visibility of people, equipment, air quality and ventilation to support remote operations, faster emergency response, and better asset and site management.

Goldcorp deployed a Cisco Connected Mining solution with a robust multiservice IP network, AeroScout RFID tracking and an intelligent ventilation‑on‑demand system. The integrated IoT solution enabled live tracking of people and machinery, remote diagnostics, and automated fan control tied to vehicle emissions, cutting ventilation needs by about 50% and saving an estimated $1.5–$2.5 million per year, locating employees 45–50 minutes faster in emergencies, and delivering near‑real‑time asset insight for safer, more efficient operations.
