Afry : Advancement of digitalisation in Chilean companies will be favored by the development of 5G network

In this context, AFRY brings AFRY Smart Site services to Chile, aimed at 4.0 industry.

Chile is on track to be the first country in Latin America to have an operational 5G network that will prioritize the technology applications in priority sectors such as health, education, and transport. In addition, the network will ensure internet access through a high-speed mobile network in regions that are currently not covered and helps to develop country's economy further. In the industrial sector, for example, high-speed and low-latency networks are essential for the development of Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies enabling effective, real-time and safe connectivity between intelligent machines and devices in manufacturing facilities.

Chilean industrial operators are searching for digital solutions that will help them to improve their competitiveness and reach their sustainability goals. Understanding the big picture and being able to identify the most suitable digital technological solutions for each business becomes an additional challenge, especially for companies that do not have an internal team specialized in digitalisation.

AFRY, a European engineering, design and consulting company with global operations, is bringing to Chile Industry4.0 framework, AFRY Smart Site, which comprises a set of digital services and solutions through which industrial processes and operations can be optimised in terms of efficiency, safety and quality, while promoting the sustainable development of operations throughout the entire production chain.
