An innovative efa-Orange partnership
efa France, an equipment supplier for off-road mobile machines, is offering a teleoperation solution that enables industrial machines, such as those used in mines, to be remotely piloted using hybrid 5G/satellite connectivity designed by Orange.
This solution, developed in-house by efa, is based on on-board sensors and a very low latency of around 65 ms. Continuity of service is guaranteed by Orange, which is complementing its cellular networks with satellite, even in areas without coverage.
The result ? A tailor-made solution to improve safety, working conditions and business continuity on industrial sites.
“Many of our customers are faced with recruitment problems for positions involving operations in difficult and potentially dangerous environments. Improving the working conditions of machine operators and reducing the number of accidents are key issues for them, and remote operation can help. It also creates opportunities for people who have not had access to this type of job until now, such as people with reduced mobility. For efa, developing an offer in this promising segment is a logical extension of our activities in the command and control sector.”
