We implement improvements aimed at control and automation, scheduled maintenance and the reliability of information. Among the projects developed in 2022, the following stand out:

RoBoost: global program in which we seek to integrate robotics in the operation and maintenance of our plants, adding value and increasing safety and operational efficiency. Robots allow us to inspect, supervise and monitor Power Generation assets that are at height, in confined spaces or submerged. At Enel Chile we have more than 40 pilots, 27 drones, 14 Smart Glasses, 2 Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) and 1 bathymetric boat.

During 2022 we implemented drone flight plans to control the operational conditions of the wind, geothermal, thermo and hydroelectric plants. The role of the drone includes maintenance monitoring, flora control, archaeological sites, emergencies and security. Its main contribution is that it allows us to save costs, in addition to minimizing the risks that are taken in the execution of this type of work carried out by our teams.

Enel's intellectual property encompasses a range of intelligence that is at the heart of our sustainable growth. These assets are regulated and protected by intellectual property rights. As our intellectual property portfolio has grown, so have the Group's efforts to strengthen the information infrastructure needed to identify, evaluate, protect and monitor innovative ideas. Our intellectual property strategy drives innovation by sharing the internal and external solutions that lead to new ideas.

Enel Chile has the Open Innovability model, which enables collaboration agreements with start-ups, researchers and other organizations and individuals to continuously transform the current energy model.

During 2022, 90 emerging companies were evaluated throughout Latin America and 2 proofs of concept were initiated with the selected startups.
