In a bold move to electrify the mining sector, BluVein has appointed Roberto Marín Torres as its Technology Application Manager for South America. This strategic hire signals BluVein’s aggressive push into the region, aiming to revolutionise mining operations with its dynamic charging solutions. Marín Torres, armed with over 18 years of experience in mining and technology, is poised to drive BluVein’s electrification technologies, BluVein1 for underground and BluVeinXL for surface operations, into the heart of South America’s mining industry.
Marín Torres’ career is a testament to his ability to drive innovation and sustainability. His stint at Glencore South America, where he championed decarbonisation initiatives, is just one example of his proven track record. His expertise spans process improvement, technology strategy, and project management across both open-pit and underground operations. He has also led international projects in countries like Brazil, Chile, Peru, Australia, Canada, and South Africa, collaborating with mining companies and suppliers to integrate autonomous systems, fleet electrification, and smart mining solutions.
Based in South America, Marín Torres will be instrumental in helping miners in Chile, Peru, Brazil, and beyond transition to cleaner, more efficient operations. BluVein’s dynamic charging technology promises seamless power delivery, lighter battery systems, increased productivity, heavier payloads, and zero diesel emissions—all while delivering industry-leading capital and operating cost savings. This is not just about reducing emissions; it’s about reimagining mining operations for the 21st century.
“This appointment underscores BluVein’s commitment to accelerating a safer, more sustainable future for mining,” BluVein stated. Marín Torres’ expertise in decarbonisation, change management, and autonomous technology integration makes him a transformative leader in the industry. His strategic insight and team development skills, coupled with his experience as a university professor, make him an invaluable addition to the BluVein team.
The mining industry is at a crossroads. Traditional methods are giving way to technological innovations that promise sustainability and efficiency. BluVein’s appointment of Marín Torres is a clear indication of the company’s intent to lead this charge. The question now is, how will the industry respond? Will other mining technology providers follow suit, or will BluVein’s bold move set a new standard for the sector? One thing is clear: the future of mining is electric, and BluVein is betting big on Marín Torres to make that future a reality in South America. The stage is set for a dynamic shift in the mining landscape, and all eyes are on BluVein and its new Technology Application Manager for South America.
