Our Anillo project “Industrial cyber-physical systems for smart mining” was selected for funding by CONICYT in its 2019 Anillos de investigación en ciencia y tecnología contest. The 3 years project, with an approved budget of USD$750.000, focuses on developing the next generation of control systems for mining operations, with emphasis on the operation of power converters as smart field actuators. Directed by Prof. Núñez, the project features a collaborative team including Prof. Pereda from PUC and Prof. Rodríguez from UNAB.
