Just getting workers to the office can be a challenge, amid ongoing travel restrictions aimed at containing the pandemic, said Gaston Silva Maldonado, project and systems analyst at Chilean food processor giant Agrosuper SA. "Our employees have been prevented from moving from one city to another, or even from one point of the city to another," Mr. Maldonado said, citing local lockdown rules. Based in Rancagua, Agrosuper employs about 3,500 office workers, in addition to thousands more in its production plants. So far, he said, only administrative staff and production plant workers deemed essential have returned to the workplace. With the Chilean government in July announcing a five-week plan to gradually ease travel restrictions within the country, the company is hoping to bring back more in the weeks ahead. To do that, Agrosuper has started using robotic process automation to scan and relay employment data on its more than 12,000 workers to a government website that issues emergency travel passes required at health checkpoints scattered throughout the country.
