Codelco, the world's largest copper seller, transformed its operations after the 2016 copper-pricing crisis through innovations like automated processes, driverless trucks, and remote operations. This shift towards a more data-driven and eco-friendly approach increased product quality and safety in the mining industry. Under the leadership of CEO Nelson Pizarro and CIO Marco Orellana, the company reported a pre-tax profit of $1.235 billion in the first half of 2018.
