Krea Mining SpA

Krea Mining SpA, established in 2020, operates as a technology firm focused on the mining sector, providing solutions for process control and monitoring. The company's core business involves developing and implementing customized hardware and software to address specific challenges within mining operations. Krea Mining serves mining companies by designing and manufacturing robust hardware built to withstand harsh industrial environments, complemented by bespoke software and online platforms for real-time data visualization and analysis. This integrated approach enables clients to monitor critical variables, optimize processes, and make informed decisions efficiently.

One of the company's key offerings is the EVA system, which focuses on enhancing energy efficiency in the copper electrodeposition process. This system utilizes a series of electronic sensors on a capping board to measure the cathodic current in real-time. The collected data is transmitted to a web platform where users can monitor the performance of individual cathodes, detect anomalies like short circuits or low currents, and receive alerts. This facilitates a significant reduction in response times to operational issues and improves overall process efficiency. Another product is the MAC system, designed to measure airborne gases such as HCl and NOx using electrochemical sensors. This system provides early detection of harmful gas particles, contributing to a safer and more controlled operational environment.

The company's business model is centered on providing tailored technological solutions, from system engineering and product development to on-site piloting and commissioning. Krea Mining has received support through accelerator programs and venture capital, participating in the Aster accelerator and securing initial funding from Coppernico, a venture capital fund backed by Escondida | BHP. This has enabled the company to advance its product development towards commercialization with large and medium-sized mining clients. The company is managed by Daniel Olea. With a team of professionals and dedicated laboratory facilities, Krea Mining is positioned to develop and validate its hardware and software solutions in-house.
