Codelco is the main copper producer in the world. The state-owned company, created in 1971, produces more than 1.5 million tons of copper per year. With exports reaching US$2.631 million, the enterprise was Chile's largest exporter in 2003.
It has four mining divisions, all located in the northern and central areas of Chile: Codelco Northern, El Salvador, Andina and El Teniente.
In 2000, Codelco workers committed to a goal of doubling the company's value and consolidating its world leadership as a copper producer by 2006, within the framework of a program known as the Enterprise Common Plan (PCE in Spanish).
Technological innovation cuts across all of the PCE goals and will permit the company to advance its objectives with efficiency, mobility and speed. "All the technology we're implementing will lead us to the mining of the future," says Marco Orellana, Information and Communications Technology corporate manager at Codelco.
In the area of information technology, the move towards efficiency started two years ago with the complete renewal of Codelco's corporate wide area network (WAN) with Cisco Systems technology.
Wireless is already in place at the corporate buildings in Calama, Los Andes, El Teniente and at the headquarters in Santiago, as well as the Andina Division underground mine and the Chuquicamata open pit mine. Soon the whole company will be connected, since work is underway on new projects, including the implementation in the short term of applications such as wireless IP telephony.
