The agricultural sector has an opportunity to move towards efficiency and sustainability by leveraging digital technologies. The use of Big Data, cloud data processing, satellite imagery, and IoT technologies such as sensors, autonomous vehicles, and drones can improve decision-making, increase efficiency in irrigation and livestock management, reduce waste, and contribute to sustainability. Digital technologies also make it possible to monitor gas emissions and provide transparency in the supply chain through Blockchain. The adoption of these technologies provides competitive advantages in the agricultural market.
The pandemic has boosted e-commerce and home deliveries, highlighting the importance of the "last mile" in the customer experience. Logistics increasingly requires data management and the adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence, Big Data and the Internet of Things to meet consumer demands. Despite the growth of electronic commerce, digitization in the logistics sector in Spain is still lagging behind. Last mile optimization is achieved through smart warehouses, route optimization with Big Data and real-time tracking, which improves profitability and customer experience.
Vertical farms allow you to increase crop production in a sustainable and efficient way. Robotic technology and artificial intelligence are key in this process, optimizing everything from monitoring and sowing to harvest. The adoption of robotics in vertical farming will continue to grow as it can solve most challenges and improve the entire crop growth cycle.
Industry 4.0 faces challenges related to the energy crisis and the perception of unreachability for small and medium-sized companies. Data management is the starting point for digital transformation, prioritizing its ordering and strategic processing. The human factor and customer needs must guide any digital transformation strategy.
Industry 4.0 goes beyond digitization and focuses on human impact. The convergence of disruptive technologies transforms industrial practices and creates products and services aligned with market needs. It is necessary to combine technological enablers with a strategic and people-centered approach. The holistic vision of Industry 4.0 seeks relationships of trust and collaboration between all the actors in the ecosystem.
Industries are embracing technology and data management to generate even more value in their business models and the oil and gas industry – especially gas stations – are no strangers to this phenomenon.
