Salmon farming in Chile is one of the main sectors of the Chilean economy
Salmon farming in Chile is one of the main sectors of the Chilean economy, being one of the largest producers and exporters worldwide. The country has a large amount of natural resources and a highly developed salmon farming industry, which has allowed significant growth in the production and export of salmon in recent years.
However, in recent years, the salmon farming sector in Chile has faced scenarios, which have led it to increase investment in technology to face the daily challenges presented by the production chain of this important industry.
In conversation with Salmonexpert, Alejandro Padilla, general manager of Atentus, a Chilean company that since 2001 has been developing technological solutions that improve the quality of the Web experience of end users and has helped all types of companies to maximize the performance of their networks and applications so that they can achieve the maximum potential of their investments in IT, relates how, using solutions of RPA, repetitive and manual tasks can be automated, improving efficiency and reducing human errors.
“The technology of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is increasingly being used in the salmon farming industry to automate repetitive processes and improve operational efficiency. It refers to a technology that allows you to automate repetitive and manual tasks that are normally performed by human workers, using software robots or”Bots”. these Bots can interact with applications and information systems in the same way as a human being would, allowing companies to improve efficiency and reduce costs”, highlights the executive.
One of the main use cases of RPA in the salmon farming industry is data processing. “The amount of information generated in a cultivation center can be overwhelming and processing all of this data manually can be an impossible task. With RPA, automating the collection and processing of data related to food production, consumption and other key factors can improve efficiency and accuracy in decision-making,” Padilla explains.
According to the Atentus executive, another use case is in order and shipping management, since salmon logistics and transportation can improve supply chain efficiency, reduce costs and improve the quality of the final product.
”RPA it can also automate tasks such as verifying product availability, tracking shipments and generating invoices, allowing for improved efficiency and reduced response times, environmental monitoring, food and fish health, among others,” emphasizes the professional.
According to Padilla, despite the numerous observable benefits and the increased efficiency that RPA has provided to the salmon farming industry, there are also some challenges for its future implementation. “One of them is the integration of technology with existing systems, which may require additional investment in time and resources. In addition, a lack of knowledge and experience in implementing RPA can be an obstacle for some companies, which may require additional training.”
However, despite these challenges, RPA is expected to continue to be an increasingly important tool in the salmon farming industry.
With proper implementation, RPA can improve efficiency and cost reduction, which in turn can lead to an improvement in the quality of the final product and greater competitiveness in the market. At Atentus, we know that allowing RPA to handle any process will not only transform and streamline a company's workflow. It will allow for greater scalability and flexibility within the company, accompanied by a quick and personalized response to your specific needs. Software robots are simple to program and integrate perfectly into any system,” says Alejandro Padilla.
