Global Mining Review,
Micromine, a global leader in next-generation technology for mining, has highlighted the results achieved by Çayeli Bakir Isletmeleri through the implementation of Micromine Pitram.
Located on the Black Sea coast in Türkiye, Çayeli Bakir is a significant copper and zinc mine operated by First Quantum Minerals.
Facing rising operational costs and the complexities of operating multiple ore bodies, Çayeli Bakir implemented Micromine Pitram to unify its mine control and fleet management under one powerful solution.
Since deploying Micromine Pitram, Çayeli Bakir has doubled its target-hitting activities and achieved an average productivity increase of 18%. Micromine Pitram’s comprehensive data visualisation and equipment tracking capabilities allow Çayeli Bakir to optimise its operations with real-time insights. This unified approach to mine control has enabled more effective decision-making and efficient allocation of resources, helping to reduce costs while improving overall safety and productivity.
“Micromine Pitram’s real-time monitoring capabilities have transformed our approach to mining,” said Çayeli Bakir's Cost Control and Design Engineer, Sevda Kartoglu. “With Pitram, we can track our assets and personnel live, make data-driven decisions, and adjust our operations on the go. This ability to optimise our resources on such a scale has been invaluable to our team.”
Integration with ERP systems further enhances Çayeli Bakir's ability to convert data into actionable insights, supporting the mine’s broader business intelligence goals. Specific gains include an 8% increase in production tonnes, a 39% boost in development, and a 26% rise in rock bolting. Additionally, the mobile app Pitram Connect allows supervisors to monitor operations remotely, providing on-demand data access and improving response times to any potential disruptions.
Micromine’s Business Development Manager, Credo Unamaca, remarked, “The ongoing success of Micromine Pitram at Cayeli Bakir demonstrates the impact that digital transformation can have on mining operations. We are proud to support Çayeli Bakir in achieving its productivity and efficiency goals, showcasing the capabilities of Micromine Pitram as a leader in mine control solutions.”
