Implementation of PI System™ at Buenaventura Mining Company. At the beginning of 2018, Buenaventura Mining Company assigned PIPER Solutions the analysis, design and implementation of PI System in its main mining units in Peru, the scope included the mining operations of Uchucchacua, Tambomayo, Orcopampa, Coimolache and Rio Seco plant. PIPER’s specialized engineers carried out the information and requirements survey identifying all the data sources of the Mine, Plant, Maintenance and Laboratory operations of each of the mining units. In this first survey, control systems of different brands, isolated and non-historized signals and the different communication protocols for each data source were identified, among which we can mention: Siemens (Wincc, Pcs7), Schneider (PME), Wonderware, ABB, Rockwell, PLC, SQL, Kepserver, among the most important ones.
- Desafíos
- Mine
- To have the visualization of mine operation signals that allows to monitor ore production from any location. Previously, visualization was only possible in the Control Room on an HMI interface that connected to the PLC and was limited to signals.
- To have various automatic production calculations such as asset hourmeters. Previously, counting was done manually on paper.

- To have various automatic production calculations such as asset hourmeters. Previously, counting was done manually on paper.
- Plant
- Relate plant signals in the PI AF tree to handle the same standard with the SAP PM structure.
- Development of automatic reports using PI DataLink for plant production, combining operational signals and grades.
- Design of deployments in PI Vision for operational monitoring of all plant processes, development of calculations and notifications to obtain real time production and alerts.
- Lima
- Another important requirement was to have the relevant operational information of each of the units centralized in a Corporate Server located in the city of Lima and the generation of metallurgical balances, for which the implementation of PI to PI interfaces was defined, allowing the sending of production information from the plants to the Corporate PI Server and from there, the grade information to each of the units, considering that the application used by Minas Buenaventura to store its grades is located in the Lima network.
