Vale: Global Mining Service Equipment Cases
The Challenge
Vale is the world's largest iron ore producer and a major nickel, copper, and manganese miner with $50B+ revenue, with operations in 30+ countries. They require cases for ore analyzer tools, mining equipment diagnostic instruments, and conveyor service gear transported to open-pit mines, underground mines, processing plants, and ports. Cases must: (1) meet ATEX zone 2 + ISO 9001 + IP65, (2) survive dusty mine environments and global freight, (3) protect $60,000+ ore analyzer and mining diagnostic equipment, (4) integrate with Vale Logistics Operations (VLO) tracking, (5) be reusable 400+ cycles.
Our Solution
