Industrial servitization is a hot topic right now as new technologies emerge that harness real-time data. In an increasingly competitive market servitization is the way to open new business lines, improve customer loyalty and, in addition, comply with sustainability goals. Manufacturers can now make a profit from services by making their products last longer and avoid waste as much as possible. They can also recycle parts of broken products for reuse or recycle an integral part of these services.
In this post we reveal everything you need to know about Smart Grids, the intelligent electricity distribution networks that efficiently integrate the behavior and actions of all users connected to it.
One of the main applications of artificial intelligence in industrial environments is predictive maintenance. If before there was a human maintenance team, with protocols and routines for 'review and monitoring' (and repair if necessary) of each segment or area of the production chain, AI can do it much more accurately and with fewer resources.
Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming a fundamental part of every company's strategy. For industrial companies operating with state-of-the-art technology, security is a key business element as these are infrastructures that can be "critical" in the event of a cyberattack if they do not have a medium-term digital plan. Something that could be solved with cybersecurity systems based on artificial intelligence at the edge.
Today we are talking about the fifth of these revolutions, one more so far in the 21st century. It is Industry 5.0, and it is marked by a return to the value of the human, without losing one iota of all the technology that has been incorporated into our lives, or rather, by the collaboration between these machines-robots-artificial intelligence and people.
Barbara will be at the Basque Pavillion, showcasing Edge Computing solutions in Transmission, Distribution, Retail and Behind the Meter.
Fog Computing models are facilitating the creation of industrial IoT systems with lower latencies and lower bandwidth requirements, resulting in more cost-effective operations..
With digitization and the move of most processes and data to the online world, having robust cybersecurity becomes imperative.
The implementation of renewable energies and an increasing and more disaggregated demand are some of the most remarkable transformations in recent years in the energy sector. IoT applications appear as the solution to achieve a more efficient and secure industry that provides benefits for companies and customers.
Industrial IoT devices enable companies to access valuable benefits, from automating industrial processes to optimizing resources or opening up new business opportunities. However, these benefits are only effectively accessible through efficient, remote and integrated device management.
More than half of the electronic devices manufactured in the world are already IoT, i.e. they are capable of communicating data over computer networks. The possibilities facilitated by IoT applications allow to go further in industrial maintenance; going from preventive maintenance to predictive and even prescriptive maintenance.
The energy sector is in a time of transition in which technology is playing an essential role, enabling changes in distribution models, the use of cloud models and marketing. In addition, the digital evolution has taken a step beyond telemetry, using IoT, which facilitates the optimization and automation of processes.
