Although it may be hard to keep up, this year brought with it changes so important that they have revolutionized the technology industry in just a few months. Let's get to know the innovations that we can already count as present and some more to come.
Revolutionizing the industry
This model emphasizes digital technology. For at least 10 years, it has been specific in the use of wireless networks, to which we can comment that it is relatively recent. These possibilities have taken us in completely innovative directions, as connectivity is clearer and stronger, supported by another important concept: the Internet of Things (IoT). We now have access to data and information in real time, with the possibility of working on them at the moment, in addition to having various cybernetic systems and solutions.
The latter has revolutionized the manufacturing sector. It is estimated that in a short time 50% of products will be intelligent and will be able to connect to a wifi network. These data indicate that we are already entering Industry 4.0, characterized by Digital Transformation, as a new business model.
Driving tomorrow's market
Industry 4.0 drives innovation, learning, producing and selling, with the goal of systematically improving the customer experience. Other benefits include activating marketing processes to make them more accurate, as well as reducing costs. Of course, all this becomes possible through the integration of digital and physical systems, Internet of Things (IoT), massive data analysis and robotics and 3D printing.
Microsoft currently maintains high expectations towards the 'Smart Factory' concept, its goal is to transform all manufacturing processes to obtain superior customer-facing results, managing the product as a service.
5 solutions that enrich Industry 4.0
In addition to connecting data through the cloud and enriching it with Artificial Intelligence, this new approach is also supported by five Microsoft solutions:
1.- Microsoft Dynamics 365 to complement systems such as ERP and CRM.
Azure loT will connect existing equipment and machines in different production lines and locations.
HoloLens 2 Mixed Reality, is located between Virtual Reality (an artificial environment) and Augmented Reality (incorporating images in the real world).
Microsoft 365 has the most widely used applications worldwide, designed to optimize any type of business and work in mobility.
5.- Power BI to enhance the analytical capacity of the systems. It provides an understanding of the data in real time. Undoubtedly, it is the number one solution in Business Intelligence.
