For a legal tech company like Bernstein, the term “mining” is inevitably associated with the blockchain. Therefore it’s funny that we are know serving a client that is innovating the business of actual mining - that is: the extraction of valuable minerals from the earth.

We’re pleased to introduce Jorge Alzamora, CEO and Founder of SmartMining, a highly innovative company from Chile.

What is SmartMining OFFERING?

The main product of SmartMining is a monitoring system built inside SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) and balls mills. Our sensors, a proprietary technology of SmartMining, are incorporated right into grinding tools and, in real-time, capture and transmit multiple parameters that are critical to the operation of the mill. A unique approach with unmatched features.

Our customers can access and analyze the collected data in a dashboard that can be adapted to their specific needs. Moreover, SmartMining develops software applications for monitoring other mining machinery such as liners and crushers.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your activity?

It is the creation of value for our customers!
Our technology allows them to improve their operations and ultimately grow their business.

How is Bernstein helping SmartMining?

Our company regularly shares confidential information and know-how with business partners. Therefore, we are using Bernstein.io to create a solid documentation of the disclosed data, we include Bernstein certificates in our confidentiality agreements, with the goal of maintaining a solid trail the records of the entire process.

How do you think the IP landscape will evolve?

Today innovation happens at an unprecedented speed. Many high-tech companies, especially in the digital segment, cannot wait for official grant of registered IP rights, such as patents, before engaging in negotiations and partnerships.

In this context, solutions like Bernstein allow innovators to share their IP assets with confidence, knowing that they will be able to present strong proofs that knowledge was created within their company.
