Driving Industry 4.0 with Technological Innovation
In the past two years, according to Telefónica’s data, digitalization in the industry has grown by 10%, while the transportation sector saw a 15% growth, and the energy sector saw an 8% growth. IoT is becoming a key future technology in all sectors, with three out of every four companies expected to adopt this technology in the next five years to stay competitive. Given the needs of the entrepreneurs attending, the sessions focused on solutions such as monitoring and plant processes, asset localization and traceability, connected workers, energy management, telemetry, and connected end products.
As Telefónica’s experts detailed, the digital environment in which economic activities are developed requires new defense strategies, where entrepreneurs must stay ahead of cybercriminals. In this regard, they explained the main tools that companies can use depending on their sector and activity.
