The Association of Mining, Metallurgical, Auxiliary and Service Companies (Aminer) has welcomed Torsa, a technology company based in Málaga, as a full member. This brings the total number of companies represented by the Andalusian mining association to 23, all of which “help to shape a transnational and multidisciplinary map of the mining and metallurgical sector, strengthening the regional, national, and international image of the Andalusian mining industry.”
Aminer announced the news in a statement on Wednesday, noting that Torsa is made up of professionals with over 15 years of experience in the technology sector, with a primary focus on the design and production of technological systems and equipment.
One of the key areas of development for the company is mining, for which it offers a wide range of solutions aimed at addressing technical needs across the entire industry.
Among its solutions is the Torsa Cloud platform, which centralizes operational data—covering areas such as safety, operations, training, maintenance, and occupational health—into a single cloud-based system. This provides valuable information to all areas of a mining operation, effectively bridging the gap between field personnel and management.
Torsa has also developed an Anti-Collision System for Mining, which issues alerts to machinery operators regarding the type, position, and distance of nearby vehicles, machines, or obstacles, with centimetre-level accuracy, in order to prevent accidents and collisions.
In addition, the Málaga-based technology company offers a Vibration Monitor, which enables the real-time measurement and evaluation of the vibrations that vehicle operators are exposed to, with the goal of improving workplace safety.
Another of its products for the mining sector is the Programmable Restart System, created to meet the need for remotely restarting various onboard systems in mining vehicles, avoiding the need for manual intervention on-site.
Torsa’s notable experience in mining includes more than four years of collaboration with the Antamina Mining Company in Peru, where its systems have accumulated over 140,000 hours of uninterrupted operation across the fleet.
With Torsa’s addition, Aminer now comprises 23 members representing the majority of the entities linked to metallic mining in Andalusia. These include:
Cobre Las Cruces, Minas de Aguas Teñidas, Atalaya Riotinto, Minera Los Frailes, Minas de Alquife, Tharsis Mining & Metallurgy, Insersa, Ayesa, Maxam, Exploraciones Mineras del Andévalo, the Official College of Mining Engineers of Southern Spain, AGQ Mining, Minesur, San Martín Contratistas, Sandvik, Subterra Ingeniería, Codisevand, ERM, Idom, Iturri, Urva Fluidos Industriales, and Ayma Mining.
