Vale’s Objective With New Hires From Schneider Electric and Aveva Is to Optimize Mine Safety and Production Process

Vale plans to integrate, centralize, and remotely monitor operations in its Mariana and Itabira units in the state of Minas Gerais. To meet the demand of the mining company, Schneider Electric, a global leader in digital transformation, energy management, and automation, and Aveva, also a global leader in industrial software, have partnered in operations. Vale’s main iron ore producers are the Mariana and Itabira complexes, which account for 75% of the mining company’s production in the state.

Vale declared that this digitalization is crucial not only to improve remote control of its units’ operations but also to enable efficiency and sustainability in mining. The mining company also stated that the goal of this partnership is to unify operations across various locations and upgrade the old system to a new one capable of managing the diverse technologies operating at each facility.

Schneider Electric provided EcoStruxure™ Asset Link, coupled with AVEVA™ System Platform and Schneider Modicon M580, aiming to provide visibility and unify operations for Vale. This technology allows data to be integrated directly into the system, enabling Vale’s managers to gain granular insights without the need for manual and isolated actions.

By pooling this data, it becomes possible to create a master operations center and manage everything remotely, meaning fewer people will need to be in the field, which will significantly enhance safety for Vale.

Vale’s Senior Automation Leader, Paulo Henrique Fontes Coura, stated that Vale continuously seeks to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability not only for the present but also for the future. He also remarked that Schneider Electric and Aveva have “become an integral part of this journey,” as in addition to providing software, the companies also offer a complete end-to-end and customized service, which helps optimize all stages, such as training, support, and consulting services throughout the process.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

While scientists test giant balls on the seabed, a startup wants to sink concrete and steel tanks held by cages filled with stones up to 700 meters deep to transform compressed air into an invisible underwater battery.

Former NASA engineer transforms drones into “seed helicopters” capable of firing 300 balls per minute, targeting degraded areas with half-meter precision, and planting up to 40 million trees per year in a new race for aerial reforestation.

The La Galerie Nortis, a real estate launch by developers Cyrela and Nortis in Moema, São Paulo, arrives with apartments featuring 4 suites ranging from 283 to 416 square meters, an estimated gross development value of R$ 765 million, and the proposal to redefine the high standard in the region.

Brazil deploys drones to scatter seeds on nearly inaccessible slopes and attempts to transform degraded hills into forests with aerial planting up to 100 times faster, in a green offensive launched in Rio de Janeiro.
