Insights
Emerson wins a multi-million-dollar automation contract with South32 to power a remote operations centre for the Hermosa mine.
Emerson will supply integrated automation and software—including the DeltaV™ platform—plus smart field devices and asset management to centralize control in South32’s remote operations centre, Centro, which will host about 200 staff. The agreement is described as a
The business mechanism is direct: Emerson provides automation tech and regional service via Caltrol to enable remote monitoring, efficiency gains, and emissions reduction at Hermosa. The main dependencies are successful systems integration, Centro commissioning, and operational handover; risks include implementation delays, interoperability issues, and unreported schedule or cost overruns. Concrete items to watch are Centro construction and commissioning milestones, first remote operations go-live, and any disclosed contract value or phased delivery dates that update the current description; these updates are the most relevant near-term indicators of project progress from
Advanced software portfolio will help power innovative remote operations center for the company's first 'next generation mine' project
Global demand for zinc, silver and lead is forecast to rise by roughly 10–
Emerson's advanced software enables key efficiencies to be designed into South32's Centro, its remote operations center, currently under construction about 30 miles from the mine site. Centralized control software, asset management systems, smart field devices and remote operations technologies will be integrated to improve safety, efficiency and environmental performance. Centro is a commercial, office-style facility that will host approximately 200 full-time staff to remotely monitor and operate underground and surface equipment.
"The Hermosa project represents the kind of forward-looking investment that drives both economic growth and energy security," said Ram Krishnan, chief operating officer of Emerson. "By combining advanced automation with a commitment to environmental responsibility, South32 is setting a new standard for sustainability and innovation in mining."
Emerson's DeltaV™ automation platform will help make this possible by gathering real-time data from across the mine into a single secure control system. Operators will remotely monitor and optimize key systems – from ore handling to power and water usage – while running a fully digital, low-emission mining operation.
Caltrol, Emerson's Impact Partner in the region, will support the project with expert service and maintenance, ensuring rapid response, consistent engineering standards and emergency support.
