Kazakhmys and the Slovenian company ISKRATEL (Kontron) have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation in the fields of digital technologies and telecommunications.

The partnership focuses on implementing advanced communication and 5G solutions, developing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and enhancing cybersecurity across the enterprises of the Kazakhmys Group.

The primary goal of the agreement is not merely knowledge exchange but achieving tangible results: reducing costs, improving efficiency and accelerating the digital modernization of production facilities.

The collaboration will also deliver direct benefits to employees. The introduction of new technologies will ensure more stable interdepartmental communications, more reliable equipment and safer working conditions. Modern monitoring systems will allow for faster responses to potential malfunctions and prevention of industrial risks. In practice, this means fewer downtimes, enhanced safety and greater confidence in the future.

Under the agreement, the parties will conduct pilot industrial trials of 5G technologies, assessing their effectiveness and compatibility with existing infrastructure. This approach ensures that implemented solutions provide real benefits both for employees and production processes.

Additionally, the companies will jointly implement monitoring and communication control systems to further enhance information and industrial security.

The partnership also includes favorable commercial terms and the development of a long-term cooperation program - from pilot projects to large-scale industrial deployment.

Collaboration with ISKRATEL will enable Kazakhmys to accelerate the adoption of new communication standards, improve equipment reliability and lay the foundation for sustainable technological development.
