Vale said an AI-run iron ore plant in Itabira raised productivity 25% in under two years
課題
Vale's Conceição 2 iron ore processing plant in Itabira, Minas Gerais, had bottlenecks, and operators spent time in the field.
取り組み
Vale rebuilt the plant over about 1.5 years with 51 solutions, with ABB as technology integrator. A data layer controls more than 400 variables, and AI layers adjust the process in real time using online ore-grade analysis. About 7,300 automated instruments and over 100 cameras support remote operation from control rooms. The plant was inaugurated on 10 June 2026.
主な数値
示唆
Vale combined AI process control with automated instruments and remote operation across the plant. The reported gains were the company's own figures.
