Compania Minera Antamina S.A., 
Peru, uses SCADA software and SCOUT Station Controllers from Survalent Technology to monitor and control all the main substations using a dual redundant configuration scheme. The system allows Antamina to comply with the stringent Peruvian regulation to provide real-time information to the National Interconnected System Operator (COES-SINAC).
Antamina is located in the Andes, North Central Peru. The ore mined in Antamina is the largest known copper-zinc, silver, molybdenum and bismuth skarn in the world. Antamina produces mineral concentrates in an open pit mine and batch treats by ore type through a conventional grinding and flotation mill with a nominal design capacity of 80 000 tonnes a day.
Sweetwater Wind Farm, located near Sweetwater Texas, produces 37.5 MW of green power for the surrounding area. The wind farm uses Survalent’s Scout Station Controller to provide meter data to the facility owners and to the power marketers. The Scout was selected as a reliable, cost-effective means of providing meter data to two different entities.
Minera Escondida, Chile, uses Survalent’s Scout Station Controllers to operate it's copper mine with the largest production in the world, representing 8 percent of all world production. The mine is located in the North of Chile in the Atacama Desert, 170 kilometers southeast of the city of Antofagasta.
Escondida produces copper concentrate, by means of a flotation process of sulphide ore, and copper cathodes, using a leaching process of oxide ore. All of the ore is extracted from the open pit mine, which moves approximately 350 million tons of material per year.
