The Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Andrés Couve, was the protagonist of the first demonstration of industrial 5G to be carried out in Chile by remotely driving from the ABB Service Day in Casa Piedra and with a speed 100 times faster than 4G a control system to operate a drive and a motor located at the ABB University in Ñuñoa. To then activate a robotic arm located at INACAP’s Santiago Sur headquarters with a latency of 8 milliseconds, almost imperceptible. All these ABB technologies.
“This is a historic event for the industry in Chile that is in line with the fulfillment of a commitment of President Sebastián Piñera, to start the implementation of the 5G network during this government, thus addressing the great challenge of closing the gaps and moving Chile up to the fourth technological revolution. We want our country to be a pioneer in this development in the region and for this advance to promote R&D+i+e in different productive sectors such as mining, logistics and operations", said Minister Couve.
Along the same lines, the Undersecretary of Telecommunications, Pamela Gidi, highlighted the transformational effect that 5G technology will have on industry. “It will make possible the automation of different tasks, the massive use of autonomous vehicles and the control of different processes remotely taking advantage of lower latency and high speed. 5G will not only make the industry more efficient, but will also allow the country to definitively enter into the longed-for development”.
Francisco Herrera, Service Manager of ABB’s mining unit in Chile, was in charge of leading the demonstration. “At ABB we are experts in process plant assets and by joining large companies such as Ericsson and Entel we expand our capacity to take better care of them with the possibility that 5G gives to manage large amounts of data and in real time. So, for example, in the depths of a subway mine we can guide an operator to carry out a repair through augmented reality or have our own experts carry it out from our offices in Santiago”.
Luis Uribe, Network Manager at Entel, projected an accelerated adoption of 5G from 2020 globally. “It is expected to be implemented first in dense urban areas with enhanced mobile broadband and fixed wireless access, which will be the first commercial uses. Other deployments will be in industries such as automotive, manufacturing, utilities and healthcare”.
Earlier this year, ABB and Ericsson entered into a collaboration agreement based on their vision that intelligent automation is wireless and will be able to benefit greatly from 5G.
“Ericsson is leading the development of 5G globally, thanks to strong research, development and innovation work, including more than 200 5G use cases, in more than 10 industries or productive sectors and demonstrating that 5G technology will positively impact all of society. We are talking about real-time monitoring and automation, autonomous robotics, intelligent surveillance, augmented reality or remote operations, among other services. For the mining market, 5G will bring improved human-machine interaction in mining companies, with increased safety, efficiency and employee welfare”, said Enzo Zunino, CEO of Ericsson Chile.
Aware of this reality, INACAP is preparing its students with this vision. “Our Institution works systematically to be aware of the needs of the productive sector and include them in a timely manner in the training process of our students. With the arrival of 5G it will be no different, as we are already preparing technicians and professionals in the sector so that they have the necessary skills for industrial operation”, said Héctor Henríquez, National Director of the Electricity and Electronics Area of INACAP.
Among the measures implemented by Entel to support customers are the release of social networks, the increase in gigabytes for all customers with a plan, the provision of virtual meeting platforms for corporate customers and the adhesion to the “Connectivity Solidarity Plan” implemented together with the government and Atelmo for 40% of the most vulnerable households in the country.
